Orchard Garden Hotel sits in Downtown San Francisco, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. Downtown San Francisco is doing some of the heavy lifting here: it's barely a stroll from the centre of San Francisco, and that proximity does change the trip. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, around 900 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €169 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. The honest read on Orchard Garden Hotel is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger San Francisco names rather than a headline of its own.
