University Club of San Francisco

The building is what it is. What do I mean by that? The building is old. In the separate building which housed the gym and squash courts, the water had not worked for several days. Which meant the toilets had not been flushed for several days. The front desk staff does nothing to help with luggage. Now I understand that it is a private club, and that is not their role. But they could hold the door open. The continental breakfast is pathetic. You can find better hotels cheaper.

Surprised is 4 star. Woke up from noise. Can’t cook in room and very small. Stressed me out a lot. Won’t return. But does have nice city view.

One of the oldest hotels in the city, with great ambience, wood panelling, lots of historic photographs and paintings on all the walls. The bar and restaurant on the top floor is a great place to relax, with a good selection of cocktaols and panoramic views across to the impressive skyline of the Financial District. The rooms are comfortable but are only fan cooled, so ca get a little hot at night. The location at the top of Nob Hill, next to two cable car lines is unbeatable.

Positive: "" Negative: This experience was awful. I arrived and waited over an hour for a front desk staff member, arrived in my room where there had been a window left open (no screen) that opened up to downtown San Francisco streets this also happened on day two when I rm Negative: ""

I’d read a lot of mixed reviews about this place so was feeling a bit apprehensive, but it was a fantastic hotel!||It’s an old building but tastefully decorated. The bed was super comfortable and our room was lovely and quiet considering how central the hotel is located. The shower had incredible pressure and the bathroom was lovely. ||The staff were fantastic, particularly the guys in the restaurant. The cable car stop is right outside the hotel and there are plenty of bus stops nearby. ||Overall a fantastic stay and would definitely come again.

The staff is great and very helpful! Nice location at the top of the hill behind Union Square (if you have some disability plan to get there by car since the hill side is pretty steep!). The building is really nice and well kept. Nice views from the breakfast hall. Selection of breakfast food is extremely limited.

I've had the privilege of capturing unforgettable moments at various San Francisco venues, but my recent experience at the University Club of San Francisco surpassed all expectations.

If you're seeking an iconic setting to tie the knot in the city, the University Club of San Francisco should undoubtedly be at the top of your list.

The University Club was a wonderful venue for our wedding due to its amazing staff, unique space and location, and high-quality menu. As many reviewers have rightfully mentioned, Yvonne was such a wonderful partner in helping plan and execute our wedding there, and our wedding planning process was comparatively stress-free due in no small part to her. The rest of the staff, such as the office and catering staff, are also super friendly and professional. The space itself very much fits the Nob Hill aesthetic, and has multiple spaces for guests to mingle after dinner, such as the dance floor, bar, and balcony, creating a very dynamic environment. As big eaters, we wanted to ensure our guests left dinner heartily satisfied, and the University Club really knocked it out of the park. We served the rack of lamb and half chicken, and folks still remember and rave about the food. As an all-inclusive venue, the University Club ticked off all of our boxes - space/location, food, and price point - and still managed to surprise us by the high level of coordination and execution by their staff.
