    Excellent hotel in a prime location

    The room was clean and generously spacious. The staff were very professional, making everything smooth and enjoyable. Additionally, the hotel is at prime location, within walking distance to Pier 39.

    It's suppose to be a 4 star. I wouldn't give it a 3

    Had to leave a deposit of $500. Never received it back.Even after numerous emails. They don't respond. If you don't want to loose money avoid this hotel. I have stayed in a lot of hotels in America. But this was nothing like I expected. Small swimming pool, the gym is minimal.

    A 2 night stay

    San Francisco was the start of our three-week trip across the states for our honeymoon; we were booked at the RIU for two nights on a bed and breakfast board. LOCATION Excellent - around the corner from fisherman’s wharf and close to the first stop of the big bus hop on hop off tour (an activity I would recommend). ROOM We were placed in the annex, on the ground floor - our room faced a busy road with the pavement being right outside. This made the room quite noisy but as we were there for only two nights we didn’t feel the need to be moved. If you are there for longer I would suggest a different room! The annex feels quite dated compared to the rest of the complex - however, the room itself was clean, comfortable and spacious. FOOD Breakfast was a decent spread of hot* and cold food (*hot food wasn’t exactly hot) but there was more than enough for all; drinks were quite weak with the apple juice on both mornings being heavily watered down. Breakfast gets very busy even at opening. STAFF All were very warm and welcoming, with a complimentary bottle of water on arrival. While there is a pool, and other facilities as we did not use these we cannot comment on them. Overall, we would return.

    Great location!

    The location, free breakfast buffet and staff were incredible! The value for our money was great ans it was very affordable. Our only complaint was the noise level was LOUD so it made sleeping difficult. We would definitely stay here again if we came back.

    Riu Plaza

    Very nice hotel, staff were excellent from arrival to departure and the breakfast staff made my daughters 16th birthday start in a fantastic way, thank you. Hotel location is fantastic for seeing the area, transport links very close by with street cars going right past the hotel. The room was comfortable and facilities were good, breakfast was hot and cold buffet with plenty of choices, we didn't eat there at other times. The is a CVS and 7/11 just around the corner for bits you may need, as well as IHOP for something sweet. Overall a very nice place to stay.
