Hotel Vitale-a Joie de Vivre Hotel in San Francisco

My stay was a very pleasant one; the room was excellent, the service very good, & the hotel itself was quite modern.

Absolutely immaculate and attention to every detail. They even called to make sure the room was ok after we checked in.

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Everything as expected of a 4 star hotel. Best things is the location, in close proximity to excellent restaurants, public transportation and not a mention the view of the bay bridge. I got what I paid for in the heart of SF bay area. Make sure you get a room with a view of sea and/or bridge. The other side has only buildings. The hotel has terrace, […] spa, gym and restaurant. This is not a B&B so no microwave in the room. I recommend for anyone who would like to stay in the heart of downtown. Excellent quality of toilet and bathroom supplies. Lees meer

We were running all day so I can only review on the room and none of the resturaunts or other amenities of this hotel. The rooms are beautiful, clean and VERY comfortable. Staff was very friendly and quick.

Went back early Jan for an annual business/pleasure trip and had consistently wonderful experiences here. For my second time, everything was great and I noticed and remembered many of the staff (from the bell, housekeeping, front desk etc.) who were the same faces I saw.....a good sign indeed. Monique and Bonita at the concierge desk are some of the […] finest I have experienced...and I've stayed at some great places. Sometimes, staying at a more intimate hotel in a "big city" makes for a better stay: has great access to everything (food, transportation, supplies, shopping, is easy to get to. Lees meer

Great location. Close enough to get to the usual tourist attractions without any issue, yet away from the noise of Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Don't worry there are plenty of bar and restaurant options nearby including the fantastic Ferrymarket Building. If you like good food this is really is a breath of fresh air. Hotel is not at all cold […] and the small scale certainly lends to a more personal touch; this was evident throughout our week stay. Nice touches included chocs and weather updates left each day and NY party favours and some energy drink to nurse the obligatory hangover. Concierge was always willing to help and his knowledge and opinion did not disappoint. The house bar was very comfy and the measures were certainly generous. The incumbent Americano restaurant has good reviews but we just never got round to trying this one. There are just too many options to choose from. Room quality was excellent. Great bed and wonderful shower; not forgetting the Fresh toiletries. Go for the waterfront view if you can its well worth it! The view of the Ferrymarket Building and The Bay Bridge was a great wake up vista. My regret is not trying the spa; again ran out of time and secondly not bringing my running gear. Its a great city for it and you will see plenty of regular folk working up a sweat. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel. Lees meer

Great hotel. The staff was wonderful and helpful (especially the concierge) the room is lovely, the bed one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. I had a wonderful partial view of the bay bridge. The location was great, across the street from the Ferry Market Building with its wonderful shops and restaurants (we had breakfast in a different place […] every day) Don't miss the Farmer's Market on Sat. And if you can, try their spa, it's wonderful..This is my hotel in SF from now on. Lees meer

I can't say enough about this hotel!!! The location is great because you have easy access to everything San Francisco, without having to deal with the high "touristy" areas every night. There are street cars that run right next to hotel which can bring you directly to either Fisherman's Wharf, or the Mission District. The cable cars start 1 block away. […] The Ferry Building is directly across the street, which you can easily get to Sausalito and Vallejo (which is what we did to get to Napa). The hotel staff was extremely courteous and ALWAYS helpful. The conceirges seemed to go out of their way to get even the simplest request for information quickly and accurately. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable (I would highly recommend spending the extra $$$ for the Superior Waterfront View because the view of the Bay and the Bay Bridge is incredible any time of the day, during any weather). I have never written an online recommendation before, but I am so glad to do so now!!! Lees meer

A charming hotel in a nice neighborhood. Very easy to get public transportation from it.

Great location. The Pier is across the street and on Sat is filled with fresh fruit and vegatables. You have the trolley in front of this hotel to ride down to Fisherman's Ward. The Bay Bridge is a beautiful sight! The staff are all wonderful and helpful with your stay and sightseeing. We would get fresh coffee and watch the ferries come in across the […] street. Rooms were very nice and roomy. Only have great comments about our trip! Lees meer

Rooms very comfortable, well appointed and quiet. Location could not be better for things to see and do, as well has walking to great restaurants. Hotel staff unusually helpful and friendly. My new favorite S.F. hotel.

Complimentary in-room wireless internet access is nice, but there was a paid upsell to "higher speed" wireless. The in-room wireless was fine for checking and responding to email, but it wouldn't be up to the task of streaming music or video. Still, a nice touch when so many hotels have ala cart offerings. However, bottled water was not complimentary […] and should be. Everything in the room had a price tag, from the bottled water to a book called "Slow Food Guide to San Francisco" and the music CD's set out by the player. Location is very convenient, just over a block to BART/Muni station and next to the waterfront. Bed was reasonable but not quite as comfortable as competitors. Staff was pleasant without being overbearing. I could hear conversations quite clearly from the hall, but those were infrequent and did not notice any noise from adjoining rooms. Towels were wonderful! Bed linens and mattress not quite up to 4 star standards. If I could make improvements, it would be to provide complimentary bottled water in the room and higher quality bed linens. Everything else was as expected in this price range in San Francisco.

Exactly what we were looking for! Perfect place for a romantic getaway. Great restaurants within walking distance. Parking fee is steep... but it's SF.

Gecontroleerde Expedia gastenbeoordeling

Had a pleasant three night stay; the location was ideal, equidistant from AT&T park, Union Square, and Pier 39. Just across the street from the Ferry Building and its shops and restaurants (and ferries). Cheek by jowl with the Occupy SF encampment, but that was no issue. Friendly staff. Stylish, not super large rooms. Very quiet.

Here is what I loved about this hotel. Beautiful rooftop access with lounge chairs and garden atmosphere. Overlooking the waterfront across from the Ferry Building, the Bay Bridge was also within our amazing view. Lively street market, close shopping, in the city but on the edge so things were peaceful and never felt boxed in. Relaxing, and hip with […] a Westcoast vibe. Everything was about an 8 min. taxi ride away. Loved this hotel, bonus jellyfish in the elevators. Lees meer

A must-stay hotel when in San Francisco. Staff were incredibly attentive. Hotel was clean, comfortable, luxurious. Great location with wonderful view of the bay. Not so large that it takes great effort to get to your room. Tasteful, understated decorations with much thought to the comfort of guests.

Good things: - Very nice hotel with modern and very comfortable rooms, clean and well kept. - The massages in the spa are excellent and reasonably priced. - Free wi-fi - Location: just opposit to the Ferry building Not so good things: - pity it does not have a swimming pool. - gym is VERY basic, not very new machines. - parking charges are very high. - […] breakfast is not included (although this seems to be common in the US) Lees meer

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

very average hotel trying to be stylish. I was "upgraded" to a city view room, which looked out on a major bus/tram stop and construction site, so was very noisy. Throughout the hotel lights were kept at a very dim level, but when you turned them on you could see how dirty the carpets and walls were. Parking alternatives, even in a pay lot, were non-existant, […] so guests are forced to pay a very hefty valet parking fee. Lees meer

The room was clean and quiet; we were in an interior room. I was initially disappointed with the lack of "view", but I quickly changed my mind. I've never slept as well as I did during this 6 day stay and I've stayed in a few other SF hotels. The bed was just to my liking. The roof top terraces were adjacent to our room. Great area to look out over […] the bay and drink hot chocolate after a busy day sight seeing. If you decide to see a baseball game like we did, the ballpark is a 20 min. walk. A safe is provided and it will hold a 15 in laptop,full size camera, and other common electronics. Pier 39 was an easy 20 minute walk away. Most of my stays in SF have been about a week; get a City Pass.It pays for itself if you use the buses, cable cars and F train. These are all 3-4 minutes away. The desk staff were friendly and accommodating. The door men were great; friendly and helpful. Ferry building is across the street. Restaurants in every direction. Great location if you are an active person. Lees meer

We've stated at the Hotel Vitale before and will stay again. One feels safe walking in that neighborhood (we walked to a Giants game) and there are closeby restaurants. Breakfast at the hotel's restaurant is very good, and, unlike many other S.F. hotels, the Hotel Vitale is very quiet.

Gecontroleerde Hotels.com gastenbeoordeling

We stayed at Hotel Vitale for four nights. We got a good deal with Expedia, but had to upgrade our room and pay extra on arrival in order to get a decent room. Our original room had old, worn carpeting, banged up furniture and a view of a wall! Not what we expect of a 4-star hotel. The staff didn't wow us in any way and the service in the expensive […] Americano restaurant was slow and impersonal. It is much better to take advantage of the Ferry building across from the hotel and go out for meals there. Over all, the room we did end up in was comfortable, but nothing special. We were expecting a very nice, upscale hotel and were a little disappointed! Lees meer

My sister and I took a quick 3-day getaway to San Francisco. I like to stay in the Embarcadero, because it's quieter and cleaner than the Union Square area, while still being within walking distance of everything, though the hotels I had stayed at in the area left something to be desired (tiny rooms, no gym, etc.) Hotel Vitale turned out to be the only […] hotel I researched that had a room with two beds, so we booked it. What a lovely surprise! The hotel is extremely quiet, with a focus on a serene and soothing experience. Our room had real pillows (not those foam slabs) and a beautiful view of the Ferry Terminal and the Bay Bridge. The furniture is comfortable and well-chosen. The building is relatively new, but what it lacks in funk it makes up in function (for instance: the hotel was full, but we could not hear a thing from any adjoining rooms). The decor is spare and natural, with a lot of wood and tile. The lobby is spacious and uncluttered, with low calming lighting -- and no junky brochure racks! The desk staff are helpful and good-natured (though a little vague on a few public transportation details -- a promised free shuttle from the ocean beaches through Golden Gate Park to the de Young turns out to only run on weekends.) We had a terrific time, and the hotel was a big element in that. Lees meer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a very comfortable room. We felt it was just a little on the pricey side - but other than that we had no complaints. The staff from the Valet to the Bell service, Concierge, front desk, housekeeping and RESTAURANT were friendly, cheerful, fun and most of all helpful. It seemed that they all enjoyed their job. We would […] return. It's a very convenient location and yet away from the crowds found further toward Fisherman's Wharf. All in all a pleasure. Lees meer

This is the second time we stayed at the Vitale and again we have enjoyed it thoroughly. We did end up getting a suite, though really did not need it, given we only slept in the room. Everything was superb, though it is unclear to me why one cannot open windows in a hotel in SF - clearly, air outside is way better than the air conditioned one.

Great Location to start with. New, modern & comfortable hotel with friendly & kind staff. Unfortunately, our room didn't have a view, so I can't say much about that. Cleanliness was fair enough, but the bathroom was not being cleaned good enough (I kept seeing my hair on the bathroom floor for 3 consecutive days!) But overall, I would recommend Vitale […] to others :-) Lees meer

Everyone is so friendly and helpful, the restaurant, Americano, while pricey is excellent. Can't get any closer to the Financial District, steps away from the Ferry Building and all the fun of the Embarcardero. Would stay again and recommend to friends and colleagues.

We had a wonderful week long stay and the staff was extremly friendly. The staff greated us at the lobby door on each outing. The room was clean and they even left us a note on one occasion stating they were replacing all the mattresses the following day. We had a very pleasant stay.

This was our first trip to San Fran, and this hotel was ideally situated -- close to transit and walking distance to several key locations such as Fisherman's Wharf. Room was lovely -- accurately shown on the website. Turndown service with chocolates and bottled water was a very nice touch!

GREAT location... amazing view! The staff are super accommodating! This hotel has a bar on the 1st floor accessible to everyone, met some interesting people there. I did not enjoy the whole oriental accent of the place, the colours seem a bit pale to me, and at times cheap. I must admit the highlight of my stay was the king size bed with the most comfortable […] bedding EVER!!! It was like sleeping on the clouds! And there was no lint sticking to my clothes if I sat down (or lied down) in my formal wear on the bed. Oh! and the bathing products... from soaps to body lotions... the smell was captivating and oh so refreshing, I did take what was left home:) It was a good one time experience! Lees meer

Our room had a nice view of the Ferry Building, Embarcadero, and Bay Bridge. We liked the jellyfish on the elevator monitors. Although the restaurant was very busy in the evenings, the rest of the hotel was very quiet. (The restaurant's breakfast was excellent.) The neighborhood is great with lots of high-quality restaurants within walking distance. […] The decor in the room was very classy with a modern touch with lots of home-like touches (like the throw on the bed and spa products in the bathroom, and a very comfortable bed). The concierge was able to secure reservations for us at an upscale fusion restaurant for a Friday night on short notice, which we really appreciated. Definitely very hospitable. We loved our stay and we can't find anything to complain about! Lees meer

My recent stay at Hotel Vitale was prompted by a great rate on Expedia. Normally this hotel is in the upper dollar per night range and the sale rate was around half. Service was okay, not spectacular, no one was overly eager to assist, more of an afterthought. You've heard the phrase "Don't judge a book by it's cover?" In this case, the cover is beautiful […] but the contents so-so. On the plus side, nice linens and great location convenient to financial district, good restaurants, and waterfront. For the sale price it was worth the stay but wouldn't stay at full rates compared with other area hotels. Guests are paying more for the "20something shine and spa service menu," than actual value compared to other area boutique hotels. Lees meer

This hotel was awesome! Fantastic service, great attention to quality, and eco-friendly. This is the first hotel I've stayed in where the front desk called my room about 15 minutes after I checked in to see if I needed anything. The room was luxurious with a very comfortable king size bed and great bedding. Robes are provided - nice touch! I loved […] the location - it was great to be across the street from the Ferry Building because I could access great coffee and gourmet food from a large variety of shops inside the building. My room didn't have coffee/tea, but it had snacks and a well-stocked mini bar (everything is available for purchase, but the prices are rather high). I purchased items from the Ferry Building and brought them to my room. I was fortunate to be able to experience the Farmer's Market outside the Ferry Building, which is held on Saturdays (and I think a couple of other weekdays). Numerous gourmet food vendors, fresh produce, and lots of arts and crafts vendors. A long walk to Fisherman's Wharf (about 1/2 an hr), but easy access to the trolleys. It was easy to use the BART from the San Francisco airport to get to and from this hotel. You get off at the Embarcadero stop and then you just walk a few blocks to the hotel. Lees meer
