Other than being on the edge of union square and the tenderloin, this is a great choice. We got the suite which had a nice small fridge, microwave, sink, dishwasher, and actual silverware and dishes. Staff was super nice, and everything just worked. Free coffee and teas up on the roof. Not super expensive. Recommend

The Donatello is a favorite stay for us when we visit San Francisco … it is conveniently located. It’s an easy walk from the BART/Muni station. The rooms are spacious and clean. But the reason why we keep coming back and back is because of the outstanding staff. They are friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to accommodate and assist.

We had a great stay at Donatello in their remodeled rooms. They offered a lot of space, were clean and staff was friendly as well. The gym was small and the building is too small to provide breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace but this was not an issue for us

The hotel was clean & we felt very safe staying there. The night staff were fantastic. Very friendly & helpful. Bob was very patient & kind letting my nephew help with the luggage. I feel he went the extra mile for us. We appreciated his kindness. The day staff could take some tips from the night staff.
