We stayed here during a long holiday weekend. We paid for parking ahead of time through Spot Hero. $61 for 2 days as opposed to the valet fee at the hotel which is pretty high. We parked outside prior to check in. Check in was easy and quick. Took our bags to our room and then parked our car in the garage. The location of this hotel is great. About a 20 min walk anywhere. Everyone in the hotel was friendly. Service was outstanding. The room was fine. I read a lot of reviews that it was dated. It's not. Bed was comfortable. Nice window seat. Nespresso and fridge. Bathroom was large but please note there was a step down when getting out of the shower which was a little unusual. It wasn't a problem for us but people with health issues or injuries may have an issue. The restaurant was nice. The only thing I don't think was appropriate was the automatic 18% tip on all orders not just large parties. Because as a result the tax is added to the total amount including the tip, instead of the amount without the tip. There was a free breakfast credit for $30. Most meals from the menu were in the $20 range. The cold breakfast buffet was $30. Special shout to server Eligio. He was one of 3 servers in a busy room with many tables and he was doing a great job. I ordered the aloo paratha on one day and it was very good. The second day I got the masala omelet. Also good. Maybe needed a tad bit more salt and pepper. My husband got the crab Benedict and that was really outstanding. We didn't get the welcome chocolates the first night and we unashamedly asked for it because our sweet tooth really needed something. The chocolates were actually very good. I think this is a very nice hotel and would stay here again. read more

Front desk was not very friendly and tried to guilt me for having a toddler with me ("you only booked for two adults" - no other US hotels have done this and I know Asia hotels require specific number of guests). There was also no discussion about amex FHR benefits. Not impressed at all and won't be coming back. read more

Had a very nice staycation at the Taj Compton Place. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our check in process was seamless. The parking is fairly expensive here and we found a garage nearby for a fraction of the price, which ended up working out well for us. Our room was perfectly clean and spacious, particularly for a San Francisco hotel room. A few folks have noted that the hotel is a little dated. While the furniture and fixtures aren't brand new and you can see wear in some places, it did seem like they had made some effort to update and modernize it. I was not wowed by the decor, but I also thought it was nice enough. In the lobby, they offer coffee and pastries before 9 or 10 for guests, which I thought was a nice touch for folks who cannot stay for breakfast. We did book our stay through a credit card program that was supposed to offer certain amenities like a room upgrade, early check in and late check out, a welcome amenity, a property credit, and free breakfast. I found their service here a little disappointing because we didn't receive a room upgrade or late check out or the welcome amenity. And while we did receive the property credit and the breakfast credit, the hotel restaurant was so overpriced that the difference you end up paying ends up essentially being what you would pay for the meal at a non-hotel establishment. Don't get me wrong- the food was good. But in the end, I didn't ultimately feel like I got the upgraded experience I was hoping for. All in all though, we had a nice, pleasant stay here. read more

Stayed at the Taj Campton to use some of my Amex rewards. The hotel is well situated in downtown while also being steps away from Chinatown. Got a complimentary upgrade to a room on the 15th floor. The room was right next to the elevator, so you could hear the elevator sounds as it went up and down. The sound didn't bother us, but other reviewers have complained about it. Bed was comfortable with soft sheets and towels felt luxurious. I had to ask for turn down chocolates and someone brought them to our room. The food is terrible. Do not eat at the restaurant - the food is way overpriced for what it is. Go out into the city and treat yourself to something better. Service was good, except for the valet. There was no assistance in loading and unloading the car. Front desk employees were friendly and smiled often. read more

Solid 3 star for family stay Strong 3.5 star for couples or single staycation Soft 4.0 stars for people who don't know any better Located in SF Union Square area..very close walking distance to all the high end shopping. This is a boutique hotel positioned directly in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel. This matters because at this hotel, its fancy and more for like, couples or singles looking to staycation or do a getaway...or even rich guys who wanna rendezvous with their secretary. If you have a family and kids, this will not work, go to the hyatt. The Taj has a Mich' rated retaurant and cool but real small bar scene...like james bond kind vibes. The lobby is small but fancy decor. The service is exceptional. I enjoyed their breakfast buffet...simple selection of carbs, fruits, meats and cheeses along with carafe juice(s) but it all honestly tasted waaay better than the chain hotel 'free buffets'....the difference in quality. The seating guy was shocked i strolled into the restaurant while wearing my pajamas but whatever. Haha I mean, their website makes this place seem really upscale and it is but all the fancy schmancy does not make for more 'star' quality. The rooms are nice but not spacious at all. I say think of an old classy hotel that has deen upgarded but still keeps that classy san francisco charm read more

Had a great stay at the Taj Campton Place. Read online that the hotel is old and run down, but I thought it was charming and had a certain old school charm. I was in town to see my friends' bands and helped them all book rooms here with the FHC, so we kind of took over the hotel. The staff was super nice in helping us all out with our gear, many hotel bills, and all the credits everyone got. I got texts from many band members thanking me for helping them book this. Food in the restaurant was good and I got them to deliver breakfast room service on the last day and enjoyed the late checkout. Would definitely stay here again for the price we paid! read more

Nice hotel in a great location with good service. The restaurant and bar both have Indian food as well as American, a nice variety. Seems like a good place for business travelers. Hotel room was large and had many amenities like nespresso coffee and slippers. Bath is huge, and TV is nice and new too. Very easy to connect wifi, and they also offered breakfast pasties and coffee in the lobby. Location is amazing, right next to union square in a safe area. We had a nice stay here! read more

The hotel is in a prime area. You are close to a lot of shopping areas. The is cable car nearby so you can enjoy riding one, China Town is right around the corner, and etc. Hotel itself is fine, didn't feel like a 5 star hotel to me, but room was very clean and checking in and checking out was very easy. There are two restaurants on the first floor. I recommend the one with the bar, although smaller it is a better overall service. read more

Hotel is nice overall. Staff is so so. Rooms are great. There is a certain smell in the hallways. Stayed here for Christmas for a night. I'm a local. Paid 87 dollars for a burger and coke for room service. Ridiculous. That should be a crime. $10 charge to bring to room? Never again. No one should pay almost $90 for a burger and coke. Not sure how the bill amounted to that. I didn't want to even fully look at the check out bill. 30 for a burger few bucks for coke and tip. 87 should be criminal. That's absurd. Never again.

The location was fantastic. Right in the heart of downtown with walking distance to a lot of bars, restaurants, and shopping. The hotel does have valet parking for about $80 a night of there is a public parking deck they recommended which was about $43 a night with in and out privileges. Just ask the parking attendee should you need assistance. The hotel was not super luxurious. The floors were sectioned weird. We were on floor 7? I think and we got off the elevator and still had to climb up a flight of stairs just to get to the room. And upon entering, the room had this weird musty smell which bothered me. Overall, it was clean for the most part. The gym was nice for what they provided and it was on a terrace. Every time I walked back in I felt very welcomed. They provided coffee/tea in the nook every morning, and water bottles for each stay. read more

Staff is friendly and accommodating but the prices are crazy. Stayed here for a business trip and although my room + tax were prepaid by my work, I still walked out paying an ADDITIONAL $568 out of pocket due to: 1) daily fees per occupant (they charged a daily $36 per person in the room and since my husband joined, that was an unexpected $250 total for our 3 night stay), 2) pet fee (flat $105 for bringing our pup), 3) $80/day valet parking ($240 total). Pros: Excellent service/staff, in-hotel dining available including room service, clean rooms that have what you need, location is close to lots of great restaurants, pet friendly Cons: Price, a little dated and dark in the rooms, small rooms read more

From the moment we entered the hotel, we were greeted with warm smiles. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. We were even pleasantly surprised with a knock on the door and complimentary chocolates delivered to our room! The restaurant food was delicious. I really loved the elegant design and overall feel of the place. It made our stay truly special. read more

We recently stayed at the Taj Campton Place on a Saturday night to visit for a show at the Marines Memorial Theater which was walking distance. We found the hotel easily and were able to pull up in front to check in. We added valet parking as an add on when we booked the hotel with them and the valet was so friendly and ready to help us right away. They even held the door for us. The front desk staff was equally friendly and we were able to check in early to our room with no issues. The elevators need your room key to go up, so when you first check in make sure your room key is out before you head up. We were on the sixth floor and when we went up we ended up needing to walk up a few stairs to get to where our room was, which wasn't an issue BUT if you have someone with ADA needs make sure to let the front desk know when you book/check in. Our room was very cute and had a lot of little touches that you don't see often in hotels anymore. Some of those were complimentary bottles of water (2 per day), a sewing kit, shower cap, nail file, shoe mitt, robes in the bathroom and other small touches that I remember being in a lot of hotels growing up but that you don't see in a lot of hotels anymore. Our room also had a bathtub and shower which was a nice touch. The bed was really comfortable and they had a light switch next to the bed that would turn off the main lights. The gym was a covered outdoor gym, which was cool although some of the machines could use some maintenance. My husband used the peloton and it definitely needed a little love, but it was cool that they had one available. The staff was AMAZING though. We were in and out a lot and everytime we came or left they greeted us and made sure to open the door for us. When we asked for our car back they made sure to pull it right up and even opened the door for me. I would absolutely stay here again, it was such a great experience. read more

Stayed here for 3 nights for our Christmas vacation. Great location a block away from union square and close to all high the end shops in SF. Hotel is Dog friendly, it's all around clean, rooms are spacious and modern and sleek design. More so, the most amazing experience for staying here are the staff!! Everyone we have had interactions with are super friendly and very welcoming! Waiters, Doormen, Registration and Concierge are all so engaging! Love them all read more

Nice accommodations with a great location! The Taj Campton is located in Union Square and walking distance to Chinatown, Embarcadero, etc. I stayed in a deluxe King suite and the room was nice - not too flashy and no frills. The bathroom was spacious and looked new and polished. The hotel is rather compact, so there were only a few other rooms sharing the same hallway, which was great because I didn't hear a lot of foot traffic. The hotel provided everything I needed for the night, including a small water kettle, 2 complimentary water bottles, glasses, mugs, and soaps for the bath and shower. There was also a bathtub but no soap for the bath - bath salts would have been a nice addition here! In the morning, I did call for breakfast, and it took a while to reach anyone (I called room service and also the front desk) - this was something they did mention and apologized for during checkout. Once I put my order in, breakfast didn't take long for it to be delivered to my room. Overall, it was a good stay with a great location in San Francisco. read more

Terrible customer service. They allowed someone to charge multiple meals to my room that weren't mine, charged me for an extra day in the valet when I wasnt there. It was like pulling teeth to get my refunds and no apology. read more

The Taj Campton Place is not the Ritz, and it doesn't try to be. A smaller hotel with a very friendly staff, you get a much more personalized feel here. Nice, clean rooms. Nice amenities within the room. And the fitness center is super cool, it's screened in on a terrace. While The Taj Campton is not a budget hotel, if you're looking for a more affordable Union Square option, this is my pick on where to go. read more

Taj is known for its unmatched service and luxury delivery, you are surely made to feel like royalty. The location is dead center in Union Square and there is no dearth of options in terms of food, drinks and walkability. Since you are in the center of the city, you are close tovall the happening events. Hotel has valet optionsto choose from that helps to stay worry free. read more

Staff is great, from the doorman to receptionists to housekeeping. My room was made twice a day. The staff would even fold my clothes. Loved that. However, the rooms are dated and on the darker side. My room did not have a single usable electric outlet! Housekeeping arranged for a power strip so I could charge my laptop and other electronics. But nothing was available bedside. At least update the lamps to have USB/C outlets. The iron did not get warm enough to do anything on the highest setting. The room also did not have a warm and cozy feel. A tiny TV on a bare wall. No decor absolutely. No sauna, pool - none of the basics you would take for granted with over $500 per night hotel. I only found out on the last day that they had a gym after I asked. I don't think I would stay here again. read more

Very good hotel for the price. Booked via the Amex FHR program. While the Taj is not the best luxury hotel I've stayed at in San Francisco, it was the least expensive and the staff make up for what they lack in terms of amenities. While classified as high as a 5 star hotel (depending on where you look), I would say they are definitely a 4 star. As I arrived, I noticed there were workers on strike at the hotel across the way that were very noisy (they were outside of several hotels around the city). The lobby of the Taj was also under construction during my stay. Valet parking is $80/day, but they recommend a nearby garage they say is very safe for $45/day. I went with valet anyway because I didn't plan on using my car at all during my stay and (in my head) it's safer. The front desk staff was very professional and courteous. It was easy to check in, however the guests in front of me got the last upgrade available and I wasn't able to get a complimentary upgrade for my room. I got my room key and headed up the elevator. Wouldn't you know it- my room was right in the front of the building- facing the people across the street that were on strike. I thought, no big deal... but after 10 minutes in my room I realized I couldn't stay due to how loud they were. I called the front desk and they were very apologetic and said they'd be happy to put me in a new room. The new room was on the side of the building and I could still hear the people on strike, albeit not as loud. I know they can't control this, so I'm not going to dock any points. When I got to the new room, housekeeping knocked and immediately entered the room without waiting. She was quite frightened by me in the room and probably wasn't expecting anyone because they probably didn't have it scheduled for anyone to be inside. She probably should have waited just a few seconds before entering either way. Overall, the room was very clean, however I did notice that housekeeping overlooked some dirty spoons in the coffee cups in the room. Glad I looked before using them! There is decent sound insulation from neighboring rooms, but not the best. There's no full size dresser in the room, which I could see being an issue if you have someone else joining you in the room. They have free bottled water, a Nespresso machine, and a small fridge in the room. No mini bars or purchasable snacks in the rooms... which I was happy with because they are so tempting late night and always overpriced! I left the "do not disturb" sign on my door and the housekeeping staff texted me the next day around 1pm and said if I'd like my room serviced to let them know before 3pm and they would come back. Awesome service. I've never had that happen. They have a good room service menu available from 7am to 9pm. Wish it went a little bit later. They have two places to eat in the hotel and it looks like the breakfast menu is from their restaurant "Bombay Brasserie" and the lunch/dinner menu is from their smaller bar/dining area "Campton Place Bar and Bistro". Great food out of both, and I will describe my experience at each in separate reviews. Word of advice- the "Indian Breakfast" can be more expensive than ordering a la carte depending on what you choose, so pay attention! Check out was easy and while they say to give the valet 20-25 minutes, my car was pulled up in 10. Overall, a great experience, and maybe I should give 4 stars due to the dirty spoons, but as I said earlier the staff made up for every shortcoming. Best value in luxury hotels in SF! read more

Was very happy with my stay at Taj Campton Place. When I first checked in, there was some issue with my name on the reservation, a mistake from the travel company. They were able to figure it out and upgraded my room even though it wasn't their fault. The room I had was very nice, the bed was super comfortable. I appreciated the large bathroom. The room had a small refrigerator and a safe, both things I use. I didn't have much of a view, I was just looking at their laundry room. They really stressed "in room dining" so one night I ordered a steak from what I didn't know at the time was a Michelin rated restaurant. The food was absolutely wonderful. The staff are all very friendly and attentive, there's even the old fashioned doorman. There's a fitness room on the 9th floor, it's actually an open air terrace which makes for cool views and elyptical selfies! They had a few machines and weights along with towels, fruit and water. And it's open 24/7. One odd thing there are no ice machines. You have to call down and they will bring you ice, but they first come to get your ice bucket, and then come back with the ice. Might be better to just swap buckets than knock twice. The TV service has great information, you can even find all the amenities like towel and bedding listed and available for sale if you like them. Upon checkout, they gave me a 25% discount on my in room food order, a nice surprise, and emailed me my invoice. I'll be back for another conference next year, and will definitely stay at the Taj Campton Place! read more

This place was awesome! Not only is it close to the convention center but it also felt safe which right now in San Francisco let's face it safety is number one priority! They knew my face every day like I was family. I was welcomed with a warm towel and some credits for breakfast, etc. The room was also really nice. Very spacious for San Francisco. Bathtub was awesome! Breakfast was always great! Bernie was amazing especially when I was in a hurry one morning! I was also needing a refrigerator for my medication's at the time, and they were very good at bringing me one as soon as possible! Same with the ice! All very friendly staff and very clean place! I love the location as well! And my rooms view was amazing! If, and when I'm back in San Francisco, I will definitely stay here again. read more

I stayed her for a night on the first leg of a week long vacation. It is advertised as a 5 star hotel, but in my opinion it doesn't meet that standard.

I had a great stay, the staff went out of their way to be gracious and helpful from the moment I arrived. I was able to get a great rate and perks from Amex, including dining credit and a room upgrade. The food was exceptional, at the time of my stay they were renovating the on site restaurant, but the food credit was able to be applied to room service. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well. Valet was $80 but made parking hassle-free which is kind of priceless in SF. The hotel amenities included the usual toiletries like shampoo and lotion, but also available were a plush robe, sewing kit and shoe cloth and the room was comfortable and elegant. I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay. read more

I would consider this a semi-luxury hotel. It's not a true luxury hotel like the Ritz or St. Regis, but it's a step above your standard Marriott or Hilton. I got a good rate via hotels.com which included a food credit that I used for breakfast each day. The restaurant was perfectly fine for a hotel. The location of the hotel is excellent, close to Union Square and the convention center, and an easy walk to the BART station which takes you to the airport. Staff are helpful and pleasant. read more

I haven't stayed here before, but I stopped by to ask if I could use the restroom. The person at the front desk, Romi, was extremely nice and allowed my friend and me to come in.

Sadly, our time in San Francisco has ended and it is on to Pacific Grove. The family and I had stayed at several hotels in the San Francisco area and I have to say that the Taj Campton Place was one of the nicest we've stayed in. From the decor to the staff to the location, you can't beat it. The hotel is made up of two historic buildings that were built in 1909 and 1910 that are joined by an atrium. Given that history, the rooms differ in size, layout, and design. Our room was on the 7th floor and that floor is bifurcated by a small stairway. In many of these old buildings the placement of the floor was actually much lower than where it is presently. We were assigned room 720 which has two full size beds and a huge bathroom compete with a bathtub and walk-in shower. There is also a small fridge and a Nespresso machine. Storage is ample for your belongings so they don't get in your way. A surprisingly large tv is mounted on the wall and there is a desk should you be inspired to write a novel while you're in San Francisco. The Taj is the perfect base of operations for a San Francisco adventure. Located at the corner of Stockton and Sutter, Union Square is a short walk and Chinatown and North Beach are just a few blocks away. You can catch the cable car one block over on Powell street and you can access BART and MUNI trains from the Powell street station at Powell and Market. I recommend using public transportation to get around. It is a great way to explore the city and is clean and efficient. Uber and Lyft are also readily available. There is a small bar and Michelin Star rated restaurant located just off of the lobby. Unfortunately, we didn't get to try the either. The bar is open from 5 to 10. Obviously, there are a ton of other bars and restaurants to choose from in the area. If you choose to drive to San Francisco, you can valet park at the Taj for $52 a day or park across the street at the Sutter Stockton garage for a much more reasonable rate. And the walk to and from the garage is maybe 5 minutes. I usually try to find a public garage to park in because hotel parking can be expensive and you won't need your car in San Francisco. Parking at many of the tourist spots and restaurants can be difficult if not impossible. Being that we are still in a pandemic, masks must be worn while in the common areas if the hotel. Proof of vaccination wasn't required at check-in, however; you will have to show proof to dine at a bar or restaurant. Just giving a heads up to the many Richard Cranium anti-vaccers out there. Complimentary coffee and pastries are available in the lobby each day from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. or you can go next door Starbucks if you want something more exotic. Room service is available for breakfast only at this point. From what I can tell, many of the guests at the Taj are regulars. This is a testament to the incredibly friendly staff. See you next year San Francisco! read more
