Our recent stay at the Orchard Garden Hotel was simply superb! What a gem. A truly beautiful hotel with an European flair, a super friendly staff, and at a great location to boot!

The room was pure heaven with a super comfortable bed and a stunning bathroom. Loved the cushiony robes too! In fact, We meant to buy a set.

The only word of warning would be that the rooms are rather small - some more than others - so be sure to ask to see the room in case you wish an upgrade. Since this was my wife's first time in San Francisco I did request a bigger room, also with a much better view -- and to our amazement, Jim, the manager at the time, made sure we were not charged for the upgrade! How great is that? Thanks Jim! (I hope this doesn't get you in trouble).

All in all, a super delightful experience at the Orchard Garden Hotel. Needless to say...WAY highly recommended!

Fantastic location and friendly staff. The hotel is right near the gates of Chinatown and a couple of blocks from the shopping at Market Street. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in SF. The big breakfast and environmental consciousness were a plus, too.

This is a great find. It is in a perfect location, but that is not the best thing about this hotel. It is beautiful, the staff is amazing, the appointments and furnishings are lovely, the Leed Certification is the way of the future and all for an unbelievable value.

This is a beautiful, clean and comfortable hotel. But here's the problem: the climate inside the room is too dry and stuffy. I chose this hotel because of the "green" atmosphere. The rooms are powered by placing the keys inside a slot near the door. The hotel is also new and allows no smoking in any of the rooms This is a plus because you can often smell cigarette smoke through the air conditioning system.

Because it's a new hotel, apparently the building codes do not permit any windows to open. So this place is sealed shut. I was assured that the new "state-of-the-art " AC system was able to adjust and even allow for some outside air circulation. This was certainly not the case. I had to buy a cheap humidifier at Walgreen's in an attempt to get so moisture in the room. It helped a bit. I guess I'm confused about the description of "green" and this overall phobia of outside air. Here's a green tip: you can also cut your energy costs by shutting off the AC and opening a window!
