The location is right on the beach and lovely bar/restaurant directly across, which were all lovely.
The only thing I think could be improved is the breakfast.

Hotel was perfect for our stay. All staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfast was good, one of our party was coeliac and this was catered for very well. Ideal location for beach, restaurants and shops. Rail station not too far away for day trips to Lucca and Pisa. Would highly recommend a stay at Hotel San Francisco.

I got a single room on the second floor with breakfast. My bathroom, the loo, was not cleaned prior to my checking in. Smells like a public toilet! It looks like it was wiped with a dry towel. This gave me a headache! There was nothing like a fresh smell when it was used something like a flash or a bleach. My room was facing so-calledd sea view. Opposite of it, on the street there are restaurants on the pavement, where they play super loud music after 10.00 pm till midnight! Actually there are a proper concerts like on the stadium. The restaurant's name is Fanatico.. I have been waiting for a long time to get the room key. The receptionist was explaining something to the newly arrived couple.
Breakfast, there is no plain yoghurt. No tomatoes! How can you not serve tomatoes in Italy!!!?? I just got my tomatoes and a yoghurt from the supermarket for tomorrow breakfast. However, in the price £100 per night, the breakfast is included!
And more to it. The beach is mostly private. To put the towel on the sand, they want to charge you. The sea is very shallow. It's impossible to swim. People are just standing in the sea.
I booked the hotel via booking.com and chosen for great reviews. How it is possible the hotel has so many good reviews? I guess most people were accommodated from the quiet side? My experience was not good at all. And I will be requesting money back.

Great location right by the sea in Viareggio, my room was very comfortable and I had a balcony with a lovely sea view. I was only staying for one night, it was very enjoyable though and the breakfast being included was a nice touch. The staff were all lovely, especially Davide who welcomed me on arrival. I would recommend it for a short stay in Viareggio. 😊
It was all great!

The very reasonably priced room had a birds eye view of the boardwalk, beach, and ocean… with a balcony too! The listing said sea view, and I took that with a grain of salt. But when I arrived i found it was about as good a sea view as anyone could ask for. It wasn’t just from the balcony itself, but from inside as well since the door and window to the balcony are all glass. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was very good, with staff on hand to make coffee drinks or provide whatever. The hotel itself is well maintained and on the modern side, which I liked. They also rent bicycles, which was great. What a great value!
The room was very narrow, but I was really happy with it regardless. I was traveling solo, so didn’t need much. The bathroom faucet sticks out oddly close to the edge of the sink, so it splashes on the floor when you wash hands. No bid deal, just kind of funny.

The location is perfect, it’s directly across from the beach. Ample places to eat and relax. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The hotel was clean.
Nothing that we did not like, but sound proof rooms would have been a bonus.

San Francisco is a cozy hotel in a strategic location. The beach is just across the street. It is extremely clean and offers a good breakfast. It doesn’t have a parking space but you can park on the street for seven euro per day and they organize everything for you at the arrival. Our room didn’t have a balcony but there is a terrace where guest can hang their clothes to dry after a day at the beach. The staff is extremely nice and helpful
I liked everything

The hotel couldn't be closer to the sea, you just cross the street and you're at the promenade. The stay was amazing, starting from the super clean, air-conditioned, nicely smelling room to the delicious breakfasts served at the rooftop terrace... The staff was so welcoming, helpful and polite, we really felt welcome.. Thank you! I hope to be staying there again in the future.
I loved everything!

Viareggio is a beautiful location and we had a sea facing balcony (albeit a very small balcony) and were able to enjoy the last of the sun each day, with beautiful sunsets and great to people watch. The hotel itself is in a prime spot in the middle of the long stretch of beach. Great restaurant with live music just over the road called Fantastik and the nicest people running the private beach area at Amore (note - it costs 30 euro (minimum) for a parasol and a couple of beds. We never found out how much the cabanas were!!! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was served on the beautiful outdoor terrace on the top floor which was just wonderful sitting looking out to the sea.
The balcony was very small but this can be overlooked as the views made up for it! The bedroom as quite small and the bed a bit too firm for my liking. The air con could have been better but if left on (which I don't really like to do) it cooled the room down enough especially as the sun shone in all day. There were metal shutters that were great for keeping out the suns rays during the day and keeping the room dark in the morning. The breakfast set up was very strange -it was like Covid still existed - you could not pick your own from the buffet, you had to point to everything and it was put onto plates and brought to your table. At busy times during breakfast service, you could be standing for a while and you almost felt rushed when it was your turn to pick what you wanted rather than mulling over what was available. I also thought this gave staff unnecessary work to do and they were stressed most of the time.

Perfect location situated centrally on the strip. Sea views Breakfast on terrace was good, food not overloaded but enough for breakfast.
Charged for water in the mini bar. I didn't read the notice and had assumed the water was complimentary was it wasn't.

property was ok and reception staff lovely but buffet breakfast not! it’s not self serve and told to sit down and they will get it despite it being there to see. ordered cornflakes and a big light coloured hair on top so left it and walked out. Found the male waiter rude in his attitude.
Buffet breakfast not much variety. No toast. Nothing hot or fresh cooked. croissants long life and nasty so one bite was enough.

Came for two nights during Carnavale at Viareggio. The hotel is located inside the area of the parade (at the somewhat quieter edge) and that was super, I could pop into the room for a few minutes in the middle of carnaval, and also had a balcony view to carnival! Staff really friendly and professional, hotel design to my taste, very clean room, pleasant showeroom, good wi-fi, quiet at night. Room was small but I liked it and it fit my needs. Great value for money. Happy to recommend.

For a first stay at this hotel, it has been a positive surprise. We are frequent travellers to Tuscany and know the area quite well. This hotel is extremely well located and is absolutely great value for money compared to other far more expensive (!) competitors located close by. Beach front, with balcony and full sea view. Good bedding and air conditioning in each room. Friendly and professional staff, excellent breakfast. We will be returning soon.

Staff were excellent. Housekeeping staff were meticulous with cleaning. Great location.
Big rug in the lobby looks grubby. Decor could do with a bit of updating.
