Pros:

I booked this place because I believe that it would be a wonderful experience for me for my birthday weekend a few days before I was scheduled to be at the hotel. I received an email from management stating that they were doing some renovations and that the hotel would not have some amenities that I specifically Reserved it for I then said well I do not want to stay here and attempted to cancel my reservation, they still charged me after they told me that they would check to see if that was an option because of my reason in the end, they attempted to charge me and did not get their funds. Needless to say, but for this reason I am giving this review

Cons:

Lack of communication

Lovely hotel in a central location
Pros:

Close to the centre. Spacious room. Friendly, helpful staff

Cons:

It is currently undergoing renovation but this did not detract from our stay and the hotel have made adjustments. Breakfast is $40 per head if you have not booked a rate including breakfast.

Exceptional Service That Keeps Us Coming Back
Pros:

We absolutely love this hotel! It is, without a doubt, our favorite hotel in all of San Francisco. The rooms are wonderful, but what truly makes this property exceptional is the incredible staff.

From check-in, to our phone interactions with Espi, to the restaurant team, every experience is consistently outstanding. It's the little things that make all the difference. What impresses us most is that so many team members recognize us and remember our names, making every stay feel personal and welcoming.

When my partner and I checked in, Jenny greeted us with a warm smile and welcomed us back by name. Whenever we call the front desk, Espi is always gracious, kind, and genuinely happy to help. In the restaurant, Qi always recognizes us and makes us feel right at home, and our servers, Alvin and Jane, even remember exactly how I like my coffee. Magnolia is always accommodating, responsive, and quick to help with any questions we have.

This level of genuine hospitality is rare, and it's what keeps us coming back. Thank you to the entire team for making every stay feel so special. We can't wait for our next visit!

Outstanding Hospitality During a Major Renovation
Pros:

We recently stayed at the W San Francisco while celebrating our wedding anniversary, and despite the hotel undergoing significant renovations, we had a truly wonderful experience.

Before our arrival, there was a small communication hiccup, and our anniversary message didn't reach the right people. These things happen, and what impressed us most wasn't the mistake—it was how the team responded once they became aware of it.

The hotel is currently in the midst of a major renovation, which naturally comes with some inconveniences. However, the staff consistently went above and beyond to minimize any disruption and make up for it in every way they could. Their genuine care, generosity, and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout our stay.

Once they learned we were celebrating our anniversary, the team made us feel truly special. The thoughtful touches, warm hospitality, and exceptional professionalism transformed what could have been an ordinary stay into one we'll always remember. Rather than focusing on the temporary inconveniences of the renovation, we left remembering the outstanding people who made us feel so welcome.

The accommodations were comfortable, the service was exceptional, and every interaction with the staff reinforced that they are dedicated to creating memorable experiences—even while navigating a complex renovation project.

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who helped make our anniversary so special. You are a credit to the W San Francisco, and your efforts did not go unnoticed.

We left with wonderful memories, and we're excited to return once the renovation is complete to experience the hotel's next chapter. Until then, we can wholeheartedly recommend the W San Francisco to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality and a team that truly cares about its guests.
