Riu Plaza Fishermans Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

Virgin rating

The hotel

Just a pleasant stroll from the shops and entertainment at Pier 39, and the ferry to Alcatraz, the Riu Plaza Fisherman’s Wharf makes a stellar base to explore from. The hotel’s relaxed and friendly vibe is ideal after a day’s dim sum dining, cable car riding and selfie snapping. Your room is suitably airy and comfortable, you can kick back on the sun terrace by the outdoor heated pool, and, perhaps our favourite part, you can hangout by a crackling fire pit in the outdoor living area.

The first room I had was on the ground floor and was very comfortable. I did have only a restricted view as there were tall ornamental plants immediately in front of both windows. When a noisy pump started operating a few days into my stay the noise though intermittent was very intrusive. I was moved to a room at the top of the hotel. The door was damaged and the windows dirty. The view over air conditioning units was horrible and they were noisy. I only moved to escape a noisy room. It was disappointing to be told I was being upgraded only to be given an inferior room Read less
