Dumfries, Scotland Our week's stay at the Hotel Drisco at the end of October 2008 surpassed all our expectations! We were going on holiday with our son, his wife, and three "wee ones", aged 5,3, and 10 months and had been delegated the task of finding a hotel suited to all our needs, a tall order! After reading Tripadvisor's rating... more

We stayed at the Hotel Drisco in mid-November for 5 nights. This was our first trip to San Francisco and the staff was extremely helpful with maps and directions. We stayed in a 3rd floor suite which was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The decor of the hotel was charming - old fashioned and elegant but with all the modern... more

This is a repeat visit for us. Staff is exceptional, from front desk to maid service. Better location than staying in congested area with all the street people and noise. Breakfast and evening reception made it feel like we were in someone's home. Every guest we talked with felt like the Hotel Drisco was a "real find". Rooms were extremely... more

I traveled to SF on Oct 29, 2008 thru Nov 2, 2008 to get married. There were four of us in our party arriving early afternoon from the East coast. The staff was like no other I've experienced in my worldly travels - this staff genuinely showed care, and sincerity - which did not end at check-in. We weren't made... more

The Drisco and their staff never disappoint us. This is the only hotel we stay in when we visit our old home town. After having to cancel two previous stays due to illness we were so excited to return to our "home away from home". The staff was so amazing. Marti greeted us as if we were family. We really... more

I am often nervous when there are a few bad reviews, but I can only say our stay at the Drisco was fantastic. We were allocated a large, comfortable room on the top floor (409). It had no view, but we weren't there to look out the window anyway. We were not troubled by noise, although I would guess the... more

The hotel itself is beautiful with lovely grounds and fixtures. Old style but very warm and inviting. The hotel staff were friendly, however we stayed two nights and asked 4 times for a busted light to be fixed. We left with the light still not working. Service to the rooms and in reception was good. Its totally mind blowing. more

Just got around to checking this site and was surprised to read a couple of the recent uncomplimentary reviews. Our experience in late September on our first stay at the Drisco was beyond expectations. We felt the staff's warmth and friendliness from the moment we booked our reservation directly with the front desk, and later with a courtesy call to... more

My husband and I had previously stayed at the Hotel Drisco. As a result, when we were considering where to stay during our daughter's wedding weekend, which took place at the Presidio, the Drisco was our first choice. This little jewel of a hotel is reminiscent of some of the finest family run inns found in Europe, filled with lovely... more

Since it was this website and all of the Hotel Drisco's rave reviews which led me to book a long weekend here, I felt it was appropriate to write a review of my own. I have to say that I was disappointed and had a less than restful stay. On the positive side, the hotel staff was very friendly. The... more

Management response from
Gerard Lespinette, General Manager

We are delighted to read from this traveler how much they appreciated our accommodating staff, our excellence in service and our competitive rates especially when compared with downtown hotels. So we were especially disappointed to read that we had not met their expectations in every way they had hoped. We regret that their sleep was disturbed, since we certainly agree...
