A great, fun hotel in the middle of Union Square in San Francisco. Definitely recommend it!

Good Hotel in the center of downtown at reasonable money. If you need best comfort and ready to pay - not right choice.

We checked in on Christmas night around 9:30pm. The first room we were given was very very tiny - the TV was on a side wall so you had to lie sideways on the bed to watch it - literally 2 feet between end of bed and the wall. Luckily for us, the heat wasn't working - we came back from dinner in Chinatown and the room was freezing cold so we requested  a move. A few minutes passed and we were given a key to another room - we moved our bags down and, while the room was more spacious, there was an annoyingly loud exhaust fan noise coming from the bathroom which couldn't be turned off so we requested another move. Bellman appeared and moved us across the hall - lo an behold, the window in this room would not close! Finally, on our 4th try, we were given a room that was large, comfortable, and everything worked properly. The hotel also graciously granted us a generous room credit toward our stay which we were able to use in their restaurant, Scala's Bistro - which is pretty awesome. We love staying at the Sir Francis Drake and were happy the rest of our stay.

Great place in a superb location. Since parking and taxes for parking alone run $57 a night, it might be worth taking a cab if you will be there for a few nights.

We spent 2 nights in San Francisco. The drake is in a great spot, right in the middle of he shopping district. The hotel is obviously quite old but very charming. Doorman wears the old beefeater costume. Room a bit small but very cozy. Staff all very helpful.

This hotel is very convenient to Union Square. The noise was the factor I rated this hotel a bit low. The street noise was very loud at night, but the noise from the maids outside my room at 7:30am was even worse. This hotel needs better soundproofing.

Service was outstanding and the room was comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone looking to blend old SF tradition with new SF style.
