Hotel Zoe Fishermans Wharf

Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco

Star rating

The hotel

It’s said that life in San Francisco is best lived on the waterfront. Where better to sample it than at Hotel Zoe, a stroll from Pier 39 and the bay. Wander out and you’ll stumble upon many fabulous shops and eateries, or pop into the hotel’s Italian trattoria for homemade crab ravioli or roasted sea bass. They serve a delicious breakfast too - why not grab a table on the sidewalk and watch as Mason Street comes to life?

When I first got there, I was disappointed because the room was very small for a deluxe king. Within the next four days, the place did grow on me… It is a cute boutique hotel but like I said, my room was very small and the bathroom fan runs continuously, you could not turn it off.

When I first got there, I was disappointed because the room was very small for a deluxe king. Within the next four days, the place did grow on me… It is a cute boutique hotel but like I said, my room was very small and the bathroom fan runs continuously, you could not turn it off. I even had maintenance come up and they said I would just have to close the bathroom door. They also charge $100 a day for incidentals which should be refunded, if you do not use them. I did not use any of the amenities while I was there… i.e a one hour bike rental, $15 in room food credit, etc. but when I checked out, they would not wave any of the resort fees… They charged me an additional $164٫80 for a four night stay in fees… I believe the other hotels do it as well so it is what it is but be prepared…beforehand, I also looked at staying at the Riu and the Zephyr, those two hotels looked really dumpy plus a lot closer to the wharf… If you don’t mind the fees, the location is excellent…close enough, but far enough away from all the crowds.

Clean, comfortable and convenient to tourist area of the wharf. Adriel the Bellman started our visit in a friendly and helpful way. He continued to make us feel like we were friends visiting the whole time. His warmth made our experience even more comfortable.

We had a fantastic stay. Roy took great care of us and was highly professional! We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. The complimentary coffee in the morning was a great touch that we enjoyed. Would recommend visiting hotel Zoe during your stay!

Azriel the doorman/porter, greeted me and my partner as we got out of an Uber, I was distressed as the drive from the airport in my first Uber had been very unpleasant. He was calm, and reassuring, and above all kind, just what I needed at that time.
