  • Overall: Rating of 4.5 out of 5

    "Overall it is a very nice hotel in a great location, quiet and accommodating." source Orbitz

    "My husband and I would recommend this hotel with two small caveats: first, the hotel is a block away from one of a seedy part of town, but you can avoid it when you're walking around Union Square, and second, the bathroom had barely any shelf space." source Hotels.com

    "\nI will absolutely stay there again and I will look for a Kimpton Hotel now wherever I go to ensure a great experience." source Travelocity

    "Rooms next to the elevators are not recommended if a peaceful evening is sought." source Expedia

    "The rooms are smallish (the bathroom more so); however, nicely decorated, very CLEAN, and the bed was comfy." source Travelocity

    "Comfort, clean and good service." source Expedia

  • Service: Rating of 4.6 out of 5

    "Convenient location (although close to a not so nice district of SF); friendly staff; small but very confortable rooms." source Hotels.com

    "Location was good for most activities, and close to public transportation, which is important in the city." source Orbitz

  • Value: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "Not the best solution you would expect for this price." source Hotels.com

    "If you can get a deal here and you are alone, I guess it would be fine, but this was not what would be considered comfortable." source Travelocity

    "Price, staff, cleanliness, rooms, atmosphere, and location make the Serrano a hotel I will return to and recommend to all." source Travelocity
