Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Stay at the playful, tech-savvy Hotel Zetta, well situated downtown in SoMa and near the Powell Street BART station; it’s Viceroy Hotels’ first San Francisco property and home to the Cavalier, a modern British-style gastro pub by the local restaurateur-chef team Anna Weinberg and Jennifer Puccio.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in San Francisco.

Fodors review:

“With a playful lobby lounge, the lively Cavalier restaurant, and slick-yet-homey tech-friendly rooms, this trendy redo behind a stately 1913 neoclassical facade is a leader in the SoMa hotel scene.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in San Francisco.

Telegraph review:

“This millennial-leaning hotel is all about fun: just look at the split-level lobby, where guests can play shuffleboard and virtual reality video-games. Though guestrooms’ techie design cues aren’t particularly cosy, the central location and ample space make boutiquey Zetta a bargain.”

A boutique hotel with a touch of class.

The hotel is located near many attractions and right on the BART line which is great for getting around town and to SFO airport! The rooms were comfortable with soft beds. I especially liked the walk-in shower! Staff was warm and friendly and always willing to help. Great stay!

Due mostly to COVID they didn't have much to offer for breakfast but there are a number of places nearby to grab a bite to eat.

Fabulous

Great decor, security and staff was very friendly. Needed a place close to SF Theater district that we felt safe and valet parking. ZETTA met all our needs!

Prices were a little high for weekend we went, I think there was a special event going on that we didn't know about.

A safe haven in what is now a very rough city.

The location was convenient for getting around San Francisco. The room size and cleanliness was good. The design was funky which we enjoyed.

It's so sad to see San Francisco on its knees with filthy streets and so many people having to sleep rough. It's not the city we remember. The hotel was like Fort Knox with locked front doors that you had to ring a bell for and wait to be let in - not just this hotel - they all seemed to be like this. The hotel is in what used to be a really good area, but it seems that all Downtown San Francisco has sunk to a new low.

Very good

Nice location, a few minutes walk from Powell station and easy to get to the airport. I like the decor and the gym provided.

Limited breakfast option with the same muffins everyday. There are some additional costs to things like coffee in the room which luckily was included in booking.com but confusing when we saw the prices in the room.

Overall good but the quality seems to be going down since i first stayed here. And why arent we doing the naughty drawer

Stayed here many times. Always good. This time not so much

The first room we stayed in was fine but there was no shower mat and there was no bag for the ice bin. We decided to stay another night but our room wasn’t available. Not the hotels fault. We moved to another room but this floor didnt have an ice machine on it so i had to go to a different floor. Or maybe i just couldnt find it. User error. Maybe. But this room smelled like BO in one corner. I dont know what it was but there was just an odor coming from somewhere.

Disappointing

Some of the staff displayed rudeness during our stay. Additionally, there were issues with our room being prematurely checked out, which the front desk employee initially questioned. Moreover, our card keys malfunctioned on three separate occasions. The staff member on duty at the time insisted it was our fault, despite the keys allowing us access to the elevator, clearly indicating an issue on their end. This experience has left me with no intention of returning, and I cannot recommend this place to others.

Way better than expected

I loved how nice and helpful every person that works there was from the man at the door after hours to the valet, front desk, and the cleaning crew. Literally above and beyond.

I wish there was just a normal coffee machine in the room and not the espresso thing we had. I don't drink coffee but listening to my roommates whine about it was a nightmare for me.

The best hotel in SF

The staff goes well above and beyond to take care of guests - without even needing to be asked. Needed to store my bikes, valet my vehicle, steam my clothes and grab dinner before the ballet. All was taken care of with no stress and full smiles. This is my second stay and I'm beyond impressed with the cleanliness, hospitality and luxe accommodations. I don't think there's a better value in the city than Zetta.

This hotel is the best and I plan to return.

I love everything about this Hotel. There were so many fine touches. the staff was beyond wonderful for example walking me out to show me the location of a great restaurant, personal wake-up call with advice that is was colder than usual. Down comforter…yea. So many hotels have gone to cheaper blankets that are cold and far less comfortable. Finally the two head shower and a scale in the immaculate bathroom.

nothing at all
