Ulasan Hotel Riu San Francisco - Adults Only

This hotel is very nice. Clean, friendly staffs. Foods were delicious and lots of varieties. Location is very near to the beach, just right behind the hotel. There’s bus stop 2min away from the hotel so quite convenient. But it’s far from downtown. You have to take the bus to get around. It costs only €2 per trip so still ok. You can also take the airport bus from the same station. Overall, this hotel is worth the money. Would recommend it.

Location was great.

Overall, it was an okay stay. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Any questions we had, they were always there to help. As far as location, this hotel is basically in Little Germany. Every single store, restaurant, and bar was in German and/or catered to Germans. If you’re looking for a local flare or spot, you will not find it here. The resort is beachfront but Playa de Arenal is SUPER crowded. When we booked our stay, we selected sea view. However, when we arrived, our room was on floor 1 and our “sea view” was blocked by the pool and cabanas. We should have had a room on the higher floors. My room had ants, which stayed in a small corner of the room. Room itself was clean, bathroom shower could have been scrubbed a bit more, and bedding was somewhat comfortable. Room also seemed outdated and could have used a refresh. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet that was included but always ventured out to explore the island during the day and evening, so dinner was never on property. The hotel is 15 min from the airport, which is nice plus as well. For my next Mallorca adventure, I’ll be staying somewhere else that has more of the local vibe and flare.

This hotel location is so easy to walk everywhere. The full breakfast every morning was so good. Eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, lots of fresh fruit. They know how to accommodate so many at one time. The pool area was nice and relaxing. Saltwater pool too. Our room was very nice and clean. Perfect for our vacation thy was didn’t have a car rental.

Wanted a good quality hotel for a summer break, and a little nightlife close by. Didn’t disappoint. The hotel is mainly frequented by German & European guests, as is the immediate area. Food was excellent with good variations. Reception, bar and restaurant staff all very friendly and helpful. Good facilities although pool is small. Close to the main beer halls and bars but never encountered any trouble or bad behaviour. Not for everyone but we really enjoyed it.

Excellent hotel,super clean staff so friendly,love RIU hotels, We where only there 2 nights and the staff straight away new our drinks and our room number,lovely personal touch, The food was very good as well, Only 4 star rating because I wanted to pick the hotel up and move it to a nicer area,out side is just awful German drunk young people everywhere, But this didn’t stop us enjoying the hotel,thanks for a nice ending to our holidays.

Excellent stay at this Majorca hotel. Is right on the beach, near party area which is full of Germans, but a nice place. Didn’t have any noise issues as per other reviews. Food in hotel was brilliant, catered for all and I had something different every day.

Highly recommended for a vacation stay in San Francisco. You want to stay in Fisherman's when in San Fran for vacay as it has lots to do and one of the safer places to be. While most things shut-down by 8 pm and the homeless are noticable it isn't too bad at all (nothing compared to much of the rest of the city) and it helps there is an In-N-Out Burger that is always packed and open late that draws some people onto the streets in the evening. The hotel was very clean and includes a very good buffet breakfast. While brekfast is busy I was VERY IMPRESSED at how quickly they cleaned-up tables so the wait times were never that long. Almost every example where people wait in line for a long time is due to staff being slow to cleanup tables. Not here - a total "bang-up job" (big Kudos). The price was also quite low - though that could be that tourism recovery still lagging due to the city's safety and "unpleasantness" issues. But I still would recommend people come vacy in San Fran, especially is hotel rates can be this low. Fisherman's Wharf a fun place and during the day when busy homeless really not an issue. The shoreline also very good. The bus crossing on Golden Gate bridge is awe inspiring.

A nice hotel, central, with fantastic views and service. Food is also very good, but their best asset are their associates. Front desk experience was very good, they were fast, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Servers were also friendly and helpful. I celebrated my birthday during our stay and the staff gifted me a nice detail and card.

Great hotel but not great location near all night bars and night clubs we and another couple only Brits in the Hotel.

To start, many of the reviews for the Riu Hotel San Francisco Mallorca are actually for a hotel in the city of San Fransisco, so be wary when booking this hotel that some reviews are not for the correct location. I stayed at the Riu Hotel San Francisco in May 2024 and it was not a great experience. To begin with, the hotel is right on the main party ***** for this part of the island (frequented by German tourists) and is therefore noisy day and night. We arrived around 5pm and it was already buzzing. Our room overlooked this street, we called reception and asked for another room, we were told this wasn't possible but to check the next day, however there would be a 59 euro charge if we changed. Given that we were only staying for 3 nights, we decided not to bother. I will say that even with the balcony doors closed and all the curtains pulled, it was still extremely noisy well into the small hours (5am at least) so we didn't get much sleep. After the first night I asked reception for an extra pillow which never arrived. Breakfast and dinner were OK but again, as this is a German resort, most of the food is catered towards that clientele. The rooms are very basic with only shower gel and hand wash in the bathroom. The fridge is full of minibar items which makes it difficult to store anything else. Reception tried to charge us for items used from the minibar which we didn't take, although this was rectified. The staff were friendly enough but I think because of the poor location of the hotel, their friendliness will only go so far. Hotel states it has a spa, this is really only a jacuzzi that has to be booked prior to wanting to use it so we never bothered. Location is roughly 40mins by bus into Plama but beware that during peak season, buses are packed and you may have to wait for a few to pass before getting on, this also goes for a return from Palma. Definitely would not return to this hotel and probably won't ever stay at another Riu as this has not been a great experience.

This was a curveball booking for us, based on price mainly as we were looking to have a good value stay in the city, and to be honest that’s what we got. The hotel is a little dated and absolutely packed full of tourists, this is 100% a place for people coming from all over the world to enjoy San Francisco. This it not a business hotel for business travellers, for example. The rooms are pretty spacious and everything is clean and functional, nothing to complain about. It’s well located with helpful parking and easy to walk to various eateries and areas without facing any challenging hills. The most intriguing thing about this hotel is the breakfast, people go crazy for it. It’s not very high quality but there is certainly quality and it’ll save you a lot of hassle and cash to eat here for free as part of your package. The only trade off is the queue that can form (all the Europeans are very happily up at 4am with their jet lag waiting as soon as it opens!!) so you might be waiting a while, plus it is VERY busy.

Great vacation:) Nice hotel, delicious food, very friendly and always smiling staff:) We especially liked Señor Pedro at the reception:) I want to thank him for his charming smile, warm welcome and room with a sea view. I recommend this hotel!5
