The hotel anchors the east end of the landmark Japan Center, a fascination three-square block shopping, dinning and entertainment complex in the heart of the city. It is just minutes from the Financial District, as well as many of the city's leading attractions and cultural offerings including Chinatown, Nob Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, the Performing Arts Center, and Golden Gate Park. It is 13 miles from San Francisco International Airport. The Hotel Kabuki San Francisco opened in 1968 and was completely renovated in 2007.

What a pleasant surprise.We were upgraded and given a lovely Japanese suite with Shoji screens that opened out to a spacious sitting room facing a serene garden. The bathroom was equaly spacious with a large walkin shower and a Japanese soaking tub. The other room our family members stayed in was a regular sized Western type that was very comfortable but was next to room a filled with loud boisterous guests that partied late into the night. After conplaining to the front desk, they were moved to a suite at 2 AM. Our overall experience was very positive. The restaurant staff were extremely accomodating to our little grandchildren at breakfast. This was our first time to visit Japantown where the hotel is located and what a great location it is -quiet nieghborhood away from the hustle and bustle of the usual tourist areas and walking distance to the lovely shops and cafes in Pacific Heeights( Fillmore St up to Union St) Another plus was the abundance of Japanese restaurants just outside of the hotel-it was sushi heaven.

I live in San Francisco, we went here for our anniversary. Overall a good experience, but attention to some details would have made it even better. We were given a key to the honor bar, but it was not stocked. Traditional Japanese tea was supposedly provided, but there were only 2 tea bags in our room, no selection. I was surprised at the high price of simple breakfast of pancakes and French toast with juice and tea- $54 is a bit steep if you ask me. All in all, I have to say though, nice atmosphere, wonderful restaurant, polite staff.

We stayed at the Kabuki Hotel to experience Japan Town. We had so much fun staying here. The rooms are newly rennovated, nice size, clean with comfortable beds. The rooms are designed like a Japanese hotel room. The area around the hotel at night was very quite. Also, there are a lot of great restaurants near by. We went to Bushi Tei, which is right in front of the Kabuki Hotel, and we highly reccomend it. The hotel is close to everything, Fisherman's Wharf is about 5-10 minutes away. This is a fun and different hotel then the normal San Francisco hotel. I will be back soon!

In all of our travels I think this was the best hotel experience we have ever had. The staff was wonderful. The facility was simply beautiful. The room was spotless and beautifully decorated. And what a great location. We will only stay in the Kabuki Hotel San Francisco when we visit San Francisco again.

The main advantage of Hotel Kabuki is its location in Japantown, actually connected to one of the shopping malls. The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. The renovations to the hotel in general and to the guestrooms in particular could have been more thorough.

Japanese with a nod to the West. Deep tub but also with big beds. Newly remodeled, clean, quiet. Lots of Eastern touches everywhere like small Zen garden outside. Very good value. In middle of Japan Town so lots of restaurants nearby. Close to the Fillmore Auditorium.

Went to SF with my girlfriend for valentines and our anniversary. found the Kabuki Hotel San Francisco here on travelocity and got it for a good price. When we arrived at the hotel we were immediately greeted with smiles and hellos. staff was very kind and very personable and courteous. Our room was roomy. With a good view of the Japan center. Which by the way was the closest thing to Japan without having to leave the counrty. Every night my girlfriend and I had a different place to eat dinner as there were dozens of places to chose from. Not all sushi or raw fish, there were some teppan places. but you can't be there and not eat sushi as the sushi there is really fresh and delicious. the hotel is connected to a small mall where you can find eateries. I recommend the "Belly Good Crepe" place. It's what it claims to be. "Belly Good!" You may also find small gift shops for that last minute souvenier shopping you haven't done. The only "con" about the hotel's location, isn't even a con, is that it's located opposite the direction of where you want to be in SF (ie Union square, Fisherman's Wharf). But being in SF you want to make getting around the city part of your trip. We both loved taking the public transportation there. The MUNI and the classic trolly cars. It made our trip more fun and interesting. Do as the locals do. You could even walk and enjoy the sights. Try and blend in. You'll find that it'll be quite an experience. I recommend this hotel highly for those who want to be a local "San Franciscan" for a weekend.

The room are very noisy, both from street traffic and from the hotels own hallways. Don't expect to get good night's sleep here at all. While the ambiance and decorations of the public space is great, the rooms are slightly underwhelming. The extra sitting area consisted of exactly one chair, and the "balcony" was less than a foot wide and covered by astro turf.

Overall, we were satisfied with the hotel. The only negative thing is the limited overnight parking. Even if you paid the $25 fee, there's no guarantee a space will be available if you leave and return later in the evening.

Would not return or recommend to friends.

I enjoyed my stay at the Myakka. If you like exploring Japan town, this is the place to be! I enjoyed our room which looked out on the city. The room was clean, and the Japanese decor gave it a peaceful, yet romantic quality.
