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.

Great hotel ! Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful. Clean and presentable room , Ofelia who serviced our room was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble. Would have liked a kettle in the room, not everyone drinks coffee.

The hotel was clean and the staff was very professional. The breakfast was extraordinary and has an excellent variety of fresh food. The room was clean, but the bathroom was tiny. It was by no means quiet as you could hear a lot of trucks in the early morning.

Great hotel, nicely updated. Opt in for the huge breakfast buffet, very good. Very well located to all fishermans wharf attractions. DO NOT park in this area, $40-$80/day, including this hotel as a guest. Use Waymo self driving cabs, good as an Uber but with no tip required. Had a great time!
