This hotel is walking distance from the Bush entrance to Chinatown. It's not far from it's sister hotel. Booking was super easy and the room requested was to my specifications (we were placed on the fifth floor, away from the elevator). The room was decent and very spacious, the bathroom as well. Note there was no tub in our bathroom. The whole area was tidy. There was the typical large t.v., mini fridge, Keurig, large table with chairs, plenty of fresh towels and hair dryer. We really appreciate the large glass bottle and the where plenty of water filling stations.

The small sorry      The small dirty room They tried to pawn off on us !!! Terrible customer service and hospitality

Well they made us move rooms at 11PM after a all day concert because of a "plumbing problem" well there was no problem in our room I actually believe that they were trying to move us from a upgraded room to which we checked in on Friday 8/1 to a MUCH smaller, old smelly dirty room with stained carpet and bedding and no tub. After complaining they moved us again a second time I believe this was because it was the first weekend in a year that SF was sold out due to the Grateful Dead concerts! I think they were trying to move us to rent our room from the 254.00 rate we had at Booking.com to a rate of 850.00 on a sold out weekend ! Sleezey tactics, in addition my girlfriend lost her e wallet with all the ridiculous moving at 12am and they made zero effort to help find it ... we called numerous times as her location on her phone said it was there ... no effort was made to help also she left her vanity mirror and backpack behind and no one bothers to tell us about it ...so great service ... not !! Not to mention when we asked to talk to a manger on Saturday night during the move we were told he was "sleeping!" Gee I wish we were ! In the room we rented ! Nice customer service... lastly no one ever ... not once offered a discount or a room up grade because if the "plumbing problem" one would think that would be standard, ?? unless I'm right about the switch a roo due to the room rates! Makes sense... I never once saw any plumber or maintenance worker trying to fix Anything at all !!! I also saw NO ONE else moving rooms .... Not one !!! I made sure to walk around and check for both !!! also saw NO ONE else moving rooms .... Not one !!! I made sure to walk around and check for both !!! Got such weird vibes and questions from the front desk clerks upon returning to our room ?!?! Very very strange behavior as if they expected us to call them out on thier lies ? Just plan strange and not hospitable at all. Way to make your guests feel creepy !!! Just spend a few bucks more to stay at the St Francis Fairmont or Mark Hopkins where they value you your business and privacy!! Stay away from this hotel and their game playing lies !

This is a very quaint charming hotel centrally located in Union Square. Check in was very simple. Given a very nice room with a great view. The room was a decent, bed was very comfortable, sheets nice and soft and bathroom was huge. Hotel staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with the typical tourist questions. Very helpful about everything frombgetting transportation, holding luggage in the storage. Maid staff also just as helpful and friendly. True a gem of a hotel in San Francisco. Steve was a pleasure to talk to from check in to check out !

The Orchard Hotel is a not-so-hidden gem in San Francisco. I had never heard of it prior to researching boutique hotels near Union Square, but it quickly rose to the top of the list for ticking all the boxes on my list of must-haves, including a convenient location, comfortable and spacious rooms, and walking distance to a variety of restaurants. The king suites (600 sq ft) are large by San Francisco standards and priced competitively; check them out if your budget allows. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the front desk staff were all kind and super helpful--even checking in via text message during our stay to be sure that we were happy with our room and to inquire whether we might need anything. I look forward to returning to the Orchard for another stay whenever an opportunity arises--and will definitely recommend it to my friends as well.

The Orchard Hotel is located on the south side of Bush Street just east of Powell. Not to be confused with the Orchard Garden Hotel which is also on Bush but east of Grant, this place is located just east of Powell and the cable car line. When reading about the Orchard they may seem to call themselves a boutique hotel it's always a terminology that eludes me because there is no real definite definition of that. When I think boutique I think small. This hotel isn't that small. The rooms certainly are nowhere near small considering the location, the cost and the ambiance. Well I guess it's arguable because it's like calling your restaurant a gastropub instead of just a bar and grill. Something by a different name implies something else? I really do not care. What I do care about is that the Orchard Hotel is one of the best places I've ever stayed at in the city of San Francisco. I've never stayed at the Mark Hopkins, Fairmont or Ritz or anything like that in San Francisco but I've been to places that are considered classy(er) and fancy(er) but relatively speaking those places tend to be a bit more expensive. Sure I've stayed in SoHo in NYC in what I can only call a boutique hotel experience and it wasn't as great. There was hardly any room to move around and it seemed so minimalist. If the Orchard Hotel wants to call themselves boutique be my guest but seriously this place is nice and an amazing bang for the buck considering the quality of the rooms, furnishings and most of all the location. I booked the Orchard Hotel through Expedia and used my points to pay for most of it. 200ish USD for a particular week in late August in this location of San Francisco for a hotel of this quality in my opinion is an amazing deal. The rooms are very clean, very well furnished, well lit and the space... Let's just say I wasn't expecting the room to be this spacious. Even the bathroom is probably closer to triple the size I've seen in normal 3-4 star hotels all around the country but when you have a city where space is an absolute premium, the bathroom felt like the Grand Canyon. The room is one of the most comfortable rooms I've had the pleasure of staying in. The furnishings from the bed, night stands, desk etc all seemed in pristine condition and the feel of the room had a familiar warm feeling. Even the walls seemed less stark because of the textured wallpaper. As far as the staff they were quite friendly but only staying a single night I didn't have that much interaction. What I can say is that checking in was a charm, the room was pretty much perfect and it was so comfortable and quiet. The overall value of the Orchard to me is spot on. The location is pretty much neutral to many hot spots or at least makes them accessible. This location of San Francisco is close to Union Square and Market Street for shopping. Chinatown Gate at Grant is just a couple blocks east. The Powell cable cars are a few hundred feet away and the California cable cars are up two blocks. I really can't say much more about the Orchard but to say I was completely satisfied with our stay and I'd stay there again.

This place is totally great!!

Very very nice. Super welcoming staff when we arrived after 10 pm. Greeted me by name and with hot towels. Room was a good size, bigger than most in SF. Location was fine. Room was very clean, hallways the same. Lobby and bar / restaurant are much nicer than what is shown in pictures. Prices are a little excessive for what is offered. Really enjoyed our short stay at The Orchard and would highly recommend as well as consider again for my next day in SF.

See all

The proximity to the ballpark is second to none. We previously stayed at the Hotel Via, which is also close to the ballpark, but the AC at Hotel Via did not work and the room was very tight, and the elevator was overimpacted with guests trying to get to the rooftop bar. That was not an issue at the Luma Hotel, as they have a dedicated elevator to the rooftop bar/restaurant, and the inside elevators are for guests use only. Moreover, the AC worked great. Best of all, the staff at Luma Hotel went above and beyond for us to ensure my entire family, my wife and our two kids, had an amazing stay. I cannot say enough good things about Eddy Prieto, who on several occassions made sure we had everything we needed, from providing water bottles, explaining how to get around, where the ice machine was located, how to use the ice machine (which took some skills) how to get on the wifi, to helping us plan our next trip to San Francisco Eddie really made us feel welcome and taken care. Any questions we had, Eddie made sure and gave us friendly and reliable advice. Kevin, the desk manager, also assisted in making sure my Electric Vehicle was fully charged by the time we checked out. Finally, Mazzin, the valet supervisor, assisted loading and unloading my truck which made things that much simpler in getting settled in and packing up. I am looking forward to my next trip to the Luma Hotel which will be coming up soon. I am attaching a few pictures from our stay. What a great view! Thank you again for an amazing stay.

It's really close to late night shows at the Midway but it's also perfectly quiet after a late night in the city. While there aren't a ton of options for late night food nearby, the location is really easy to get to via public transportation. My wife recently stayed here in January for her 40th bday and the concierge who checked us in was kind enough to upgrade our room as a free birthday present. It was a super kind gesture and an example of why we keep coming back to this hotel. I'd highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the city or just looking for a getaway for a night or two.

The hotel has two restaurants, one for breakfast and one for bar and dinner. But there are so many good restaurants nearby as well. Convenient. I checked in late in the evening during a holiday weekend, and it was busy. The front lobby had two people checking in guests. When it was my turn at the counter, we were checked in pretty quickly and given a run down of the layout and weekend activities. Fresh water is provided right by the elevators so you can fill water bottles before heading to your rooms. And in the morning, hot coffee is provided right before you head out for the day. Pretty thoughtful. My stay was two nights, and the first night the street music and sounds came thru loud and clear. But the second night, it was quiet outside. So it's unpredictable if my stay would be relaxing or nerve racking. The room for 3 was a good size with a large bathroom, large windows of street view, and sizable writing desk, and arm chair. I got to use the gym once and it had all the general equipment and fairly large room. Upon check out, we received the kid welcome gift which was supposed to be at check in, but check in was chaotic so it was better late than never. And the staff were all very nice and friendly during our stay. We would come back to this location if we get the chance again.

The ~$200, when I called well in advance of check in, was worth more to them than the customer. I've spoken to them employees at the hotel who expressed dissatisfaction with the management; I can see why. In a moment of distress for my family, the GM personally declined the refund. I learned a valuable lesson about booking non-refundable and will be looking for a new hotel.

They are always so friendly and accommodating. And It has been the same staff over the 3 years. I see the same friendly, familiar faces when I arrive and they greet me by name. They always remember that I love to have a tea kettle for my evening hot tea, So they have it sent to my room as soon as I arrive. I always get a king room and I've stayed on so many floors, The rooms are consistently clean and well maintained. I've never had a bad room experience in all of my stays. That has a lot to do with the amazing housekeeping crew. They come in daily to refresh and reset the room, So when I come in, the bed is made, the bathroom is refreshed everything is in place and reset. Not once have I ever had to ask for anything to be sent up to my room. It's all already taken care of. And let's talk about the breakfast setup! Because this is one of the best hotel breakfast I've ever had in my life. There's a hot bar with bacon, sausage and potatoes and eggs and it rotates daily. There's a yogurt bar with fresh fruit and even hard boiled eggs, there's always oatmeal with toppings. There's a center island filled with all of the carbs you can think of even tortillas. The bananas are always just ripe and that's rare. And there are two coffee stations one by the breakfast area and one by the front entry. I love the coffee! I really like the walkability of this hotel too! It's only a block from my office and very close to Oracle stadium as well as being close to the embarcadero walkway. I cannot say enough great things about this hotel and the crew. I love staying here and will always highly recommend this location. Tell them that I sent you! I want to say kudos to the leadership team because whatever you're doing, It's working and it should be duplicated in other hotels. See y'all next month!

(the rest of the staff was very nice, fwiw) This place is very low integrity. They don't care about the quality of the rooms or service, just how much they can exploit you for on the way out.

However, from the very beginning to end ranged from confusion, annoyance, to plain nightmare. The check in process was confusing and and cumbersome. I was given no check in information, and there was no front desk. The intercom at the front door did not even work, and I had to call their actual "front desk" who apparently said they did not have my information on file and made me go through these annoying steps just to find my hotel room key in a lock box. The most frustrating and nightmarish experience came the next day when I lost the hotel room key (a physical key). I called the "front desk" several times but received no answer then finally got one after about 10 minutes. When I told the man at the "front desk," he told that he would have to speak to the housekeeper. After waiting for another 10 minutes, he informed me that I would be getting fined $200 for the lost room key, which is plain ridiculous, since they didn't have a replacement key (other than the housekeeper's key). I understand a $25 or $50 fee for a lost key but $200 for a freaking key???! After waiting for about 40 minutes total, he finally walked over with my replacement key and begged me not to lose it since that would mean the housekeeper can't even get in (how laughable). What's worse was that the other guests were able to use their phone or a passcode to get in since all the room had e-locks. When I asked the man at the "front desk" why I needed a physical key, he said that not all of the e-locks were working--including the one for my room. What a load BS. A horribly dingy hotel that can't even get its most basic sh*t together. Stay at this incompetently run hotel at your own risk or better yet find much better options.

The hotel used to be quite a few other properties, so while they may have decorated it, it's not the luxurious experience we've had at other hotels. The views are to die for, we had a room that spanned windows from Golden Gate to Bay Bridge, it was amazing being on the 45th floor and seeing the night sky and morning sunrise. The property doesn't really have a real lobby, spa, and the restaurant is average, as in the quality of the food was just not top notch, and they have access to the best ingredients. They only have two elevators and are quite slow, at a busy time this can be quite annoying. The room itself was small, no real furniture, would have been nice to have a sofa and table with two chairs. There was no dresser. The bathroom was great for one, but small for two. The shower didn't have a bench, no his or her's sinks. The bed when we got into it was super soft and not supportive, when we called they did something really odd and put a board on the mattress and then a topper. I guess they have a guest that asks for this. Why didn't the service people know they have a firm version of the mattress topper they could have switched for us. We didn't have the best sleep. Again, usually the Four Seasons beds are amazing. While this property doesn't charge regular Four Seasons prices, it also doesn't deliver the experience and it would be a shame if the brand started doing this.
