Hotel Whitcomb
San Francisco, 1231 Market Street 🧭 Map
Very fancy and historic. No longer runs as a Hotel though. It's now A SIP Shelter for the homeless
He's extremely talented and sweet, and on our anniversary, he even gave us a free late check-out! The hotel was in a good place, had a large number of rooms, and had very comfortable bedding. Our concierge, particularly the person who checked us in, was fantastic. The halls were spotless and silent. I'm sure we'll come back the next time. This hotel has received a lot of positive reviews.
I have been a guest at The Whitcomb hotel since the on set of covid-19. This hotel is closed to the public so my review will not encompass services. I instead would like to address the ghost in The Whitcomb Hotel rumors.
Are there ghosts in The Whitcomb Hotel?
There are indeed Spirit Souls here in the Whitcomb Hotel. I'm certain they are everywhere in the hotel I see them regularly walking through...
We stayed here December of 2019.
The Hotel was Clean and tidy.
Staff was friendly.
The Hotel is older, and out of Date.
It’s situated in a good area, for tourist. Within walking distance to union square. And on the big red bus tour rout.
The room was clean, the bathroom was very dated.
The cost was very affordable for this time of year in comparison To other Hotel in the Area.
My family truly adores this amazing place. A good place to chill with family and relax. Trust me! You will never be disappointed for sure! They strive to provide us the best service that exceeds our expectations. We need to come back because it's a good one. A five-stars satisfaction rating all the way for this hotel. Nice!
Beautiful building. Great location. Super nice staff. Fabulous pricing. I loved my little one person room. Definitely recommend Hotel Whitcomb.

BEI Hotel
San Francisco, 50 Eighth Street 🧭 Map
The area isn't the best but the hotel itself, the service and the staff were all excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. I wish there was a channel guide in the room for the TV but if that's literally the only negative thing I can think of, that means I had a pretty good stay.
The rooms themselves were clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was top notch, Livia, who checked me in was fantastic. But the floor I was on had a door that looked like it had been busted in, with a gaping whole covered by tape. Which made it feel unsafe. The room was also very bare. I would stay here again. Just not my first choice in the area.
Pic was my view.
Room is small but clean. My room doesn't have a desk, but it may be because it is a handicap accessible room. A/C works well. Convenient location and the staff has been great. The restaurant is not bad as well.
The rooms are nice and I was very happy with the staff and the services. The location is convenient to the sights and public transportation. The only downside is not the fault of.the hotel. The area outside the hotel is blighted with drug activity and drug zombies. The hotel has guards in the lobby and you need a room key to use the elevator so I did.not feel unsafe. Overall, I thought it was a...

Lobby is really nice and looks recently renovated. Rooms are a bit small but comfortable, and front desk staff were very friendly. Immediate surroundings were somewhat crowded by SF’s homeless, which made walking near the hotel feel unsafe at times.
The homeless immediately surrounding the hotel make it very uncomfortable to get in and out of the hotel. The staff I imagine so their best to clear as much as possible, but it's still extremely off-putting and makes it feel unsafe.
The staff is polite, but don't listen. They like to repeat themselves over and over despite providing a response the first time. This happened several times during the...

San Francisco, 2775 Van Ness Avenue 🧭 Map
Not bad, it is easy to find, but the breakfast is simple and almost the same everyday
The room is OK, similar to domestic express hotels. But the environment is very good, 15 minutes walk to the beach, very comfortable for a walk. It's also 15/20 minutes walk to the lively neighborhood for dinner. I'm quite satisfied
Good location, good breakfast, parking a bit tight, water with lemon 24/7 available.
Great location, friendly staff. Rooms are roomy and clean. The windows are a bit old and not so well insulated (build up moisture), but other than that everything is good. Definitely great value for the price and amenities in such a central location. Would recommend to families and for short stays to see the city or business travel.
Good location, safe area, walking distance to Fishermans warf.
Excellent location, very suitable for families to live and play

San Francisco, 1590 Sutter Street 🧭 Map
the big size of the bed and the decoration of the room
About as affordable as you may find in the given area. The hotel itself has a deep history and the communal areas reflect all of that. Plenty of character in the lobby and halls! That said, the rooms show all of the age - peeling paint, creaking floorboards, etc. The furniture has all of the consistency in each room and from one room to next of multiple combined garage sales. And although the daytime...
Great hotel with very helpful and knowledgeable staff within walking distance of Union Square and very close to Japan Town. The interior design is very unique wich can both be a plus or a minus depending on your taste, I found it very nice. The WiFi worked well and we were able to stream movies with no interruptions.
The interior is decorated in a Victorian style, which was very interesting and cool to see. The parking situation requires a permit for a specific lot, but it is pretty good for San Francisco.
The Queen Ann Hotel is beautiful with a misterious feel to it. The gorgeous furniture and the amazing breakfast are the icing on the cake. You will surely think you've been transported back in time. Great experience.
This place is amazing. Built in 1889, this is a Victorian Masterpiece. It's not only beautiful to look at, it's wonderfully comfortable. The furniture, the artwork and the friendly staff make this place fun and exciting for anyone who loves history.

Adante Hotel
San Francisco, 610 Geary Street 🧭 Map
Nice hotel in the heart of Union Square rooms are a bit small and the front desk is helpful
Not a 4 star hotel. But for the price, it was conveniently located. Rooms were clean and bigger than the one i had at the sir Francis Drake. Staff was friendly. And there is a parking garage RIGHT next door.
Enjoyed the hotel overall. Building was rather old but decently renovated, and had a certain charm to it. Everything seemed relatively clean. Nice modern lobby with plenty of seating to eat and relax. Free continental breakfast in the morning, and coffee, tea, and oatmeal are available 24/7, which is nice. One small complaint is that I was not able to get cell service in my room, and the hotel wi-fi...
Basic rooms, but reasonable and location very central. Breakfast very simple and breakfast room crowded. Would only recommend if nothing else available

San Francisco, 610 Polk Street 🧭 Map
My kids enjoyed their stay. So clean and the beds are so comfortable.
Our first time staying there. We will be back there again for our next trip.
No deposit required, the front desk was very friendly
Good location, affordable price in the peak seasons
Great room. Not far from the nearest BART station (10 minutes walk) and not a far walk from shopping district either. Staff very polite and friendly. Their king sized bed is the most comfortable bed I've ever been in.
Building and furniture is old but clean. Just basics. Only two towels initially provided. No fridge or microwave or air conditioning. Slept with the window open but the nights were cool enough. Hotel was very quiet. If you don't mind street noise you'll be fine. Not sure if I could have found better for the price but I did feel safe.

Nob Hill Hotel
San Francisco, 835 Hyde Street 🧭 Map
It is home feel.. there is NO claw foot bath tub, NO control of ur heat, Love the antique furniture but doesn't match. It could use a small face lift, and could use a bell boy concierge to take luggage upstairs.
I was passing by to play Pokemon at this hotel. By playing this game here actually met new friends that had the same interest as myself. It was a great place to hang out and have conversations with people with similar interest. I don't mind coming back to this hotel again because there's a lot of wild Pokemons to catch. Thank you for reading this.
Charming boutique hotel, with good prices. Wonderful neighborhood, incredibly kind staff. The linens were rather impressive and the pillows we're equally pleasing. We were only here for a quick stay but it was rather delightful.

Washington Square Inn
San Francisco, 1660 Stockton Street 🧭 Map
The location in North Beach was great. I liked the non-contact check-in, key code app for the entrance and room. The bed was very comfortable and room was relatively quiet (it's downtown San Francisco after all).
Parking at the North Beach Parking garage was a good stroke - just be ready to walk a few blocks to and from the Washington Square.
Lots of restaurants and coffee shops/bakeries within...
Lovely and beautiful hotel. Nice breakfast.
We stayed at Washinton Square inn last week. It was a wonderful experience. When we arrived at the hotel, we were greedted by Gavi. She checked us in and informed us of hotel amanties, neighbourhood and parking options. She was very helpful. As we entered the room , we were immediately pleased with the fine decor and a canopy style king size bed.
room was well cleaned and it has large bay windows...
Great location, very easy access to everywhere. Room is okay, but it can be noisy sometimes. Breakfast is included in the price, which is great. However the choice is very limited and basic.
Awesome little b&b in the heart of SF. Just be aware that there is only one handicap accessible room.

Handlery Union Square Hotel

The hotel is old but clean and classy. Rooms are small and beds need replacing but you can not beat the location and price. The staff were wonderfully friendly.
Well located within Union Square, the hotel is within walking distance from the BART station, bus and cable car stops. The front desk was very accommodating when we arrived at the hotel in the morning. They provided us options for rooms available before the standard 3 PM check in time. Our room wasn't available right away. We checked in after 3 PM, but we were pleasantly surprised to see a spacious...
The location of this hotel was great. We were in walking distance to everything we had planned during our visit. The staff were super friendly. If it wasn't for the lady at the front desk (cannot remember her name) we would have been completely lost. She provided us with a map and gave us directions including bus routes to everywhere we were going. Although I have zero intentions of returning to San...
A nice hotel centrally located and walking distance to the BART and trolly. Rooms are clean and some of nice city views. There's a heated swimming pool in the center of the courtyard. Fresh infused water available every morning in the lobby. Make sure to check out the Secret Art of Dr Seuss exhibit.
Travel Agent Review **** I booked for a stay in March 2018 for my brother and his family which had included my nephew's birthday. They stayed in the newly renovated rooms which are very spacious for a family of 4. Service with the front counter was exceptional. Ordered late room service to their room after their late arrival which they loved and arrived promptly.

We had 4 nights here last month. The hotel is very central for shop, trams, buses and sightseeing. We received very good service, staff could not have been more helpful and polite. The room was very nice, there was a safe, tea making facilities, WiFi , TV and no local tax to pay. Breakfast was included in our trip and it was in the lovely restaurant attached to the hotel. There was a choice of 3 different...

The Pickwick Hotel
San Francisco, 85 Fifth Street 🧭 Map
Great staff and perfect location in the city. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.
Normal wear and tear on hotel rooms and halls that could be fixed, but I’d stay again.
All compliments are given to the staff (including maintenance person and front desk), very friendly and helpful.
Hotel itself is too old. There are stains on the bathtub which seem unlikely to be removed. There’s even a big hole on the curtain. Location is great though.
The only plus to this hotel is it’s location. Otherwise the staff is unfriendly, walls are paper thin, chipping paint and worn-down rooms, no working phones or thermostats.
The hotel is ok. Nothing that sets it apart from other hotels. Was fun showering and then the water just stopped running. Elevators have a mind of their own. AC in the room is just a set of knobs that do nothing. No sound isolation from the hallway. Room was nice for a SF hotel (Most SF hotel rooms are old and rough, simply how it is in an old City). Ads all over the hotel for happy hour at the bar...
The Pickwick is conveniently located one block away from the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The rates are quite reasonable compared to other hotels in a similar location, if you don't mind missing out on certain amenities. The rooms are a strange mix of modern (remodeled bathrooms, for example) and 'historic' appointments--the carpets are of poor quality throughout, paint is cracking, and both the...
The hotel was conveniently located, one block away from Market St and the iconic cable car turnaround. All the best shopping is literally steps away, and there is a huge parking garage directly across the street. Our room left something to be desired, but it was one of the last available. I got the impression the others were probably in a little better shape. Still, it was clean and all appliances...

Would go back anytime loved it great receptionist Filipino lady
The Cp value is quite high. It has everything you need, the toilets and bathrooms are clean. It is also very close to the bus and other places.
This American retro hotel is located in a prime location, with Union Square Center just outside and a **Uncle Supermarket next to it. The sanitary facilities are average, but the price is cheap.
I do like Mosser hotel, it is very convenient, just 5 minutes walk to the Moscone Center, and outside is bus station and 1~ 2 minutes to BART . Thanks very much for arranging the check-in promptly upon my arrival,and room is very clean and comfortable. There was a private bathroom, a hairdryer, and heating. I felt safe and comfortable during the few days I stayed alone in San Francisco as a female
Great location near Powell Station. The staff was friendly and the morning coffee was great. I'd like to use this again.
The second time that we stayed here wasn’t as good as the first time- the staff had a bit of a colder attitude and the smaller room wasn’t as good. If you’re going to stay here, try and book the premium room instead as there was a big difference with the comfort compared to the smaller room

King George Mini-hotel
San Francisco, 334 Mason Street 🧭 Map
This place sure looks different in the pictures versus how it actually is. The main lobby is nice but when you get up to your room everything is jammed in with little walking space. Our bathroom is microscopic with the door hitting the toilet and the shower set up makes water get all over the ground. But, the hotel is clean and is in a good location. Just don't plan to be living up luxury while here
I found the place had a charming and comfortable feel. Nicely themed without going overboard and while old, it is well maintained. The staff I met were friendly and seemed oddly "at home". My room (queen bed) was pretty small and definitely nothing fancy. But it was comfortable, clean and definitely serviceable.
Overall, I have put this one on my short list of places to stay when in the area
Room was ok but small, bed comfortable. Although the staff was nice, we had to wait for our room to be ready until after 4 p.m. Second day, no coffee in our room, had to contact front desk twice, an hour later they bring two coffees... really! Just enough for each of us to have one cup in the morning. Elevator is extremely small and takes a long time. I would not suggest this hotel if you would like...
The location is good. Couple blocks away from union square. The hotel is in old style but can see it just got remodel with London style. The lobby is fancy, comfortable. Room is comfort and big enough in SF. Bathroom are clean. Staffs are very poliet and helpful
Awesome location, we walked around union square and roamed around on foot freely. Loved the lobby, game, and bar area. Clean rooms, perfect for our quick trip. We had dinner delivered and only wish we would've brought our dinner downstairs to enjoy the lovely dining table. Didn't give 5 star stay only because we love a spacious room with a view and that's although it's not something we expected, we...
I've been to San Francisco a couple of times and walked past here. We came for a professional meet up at the bar and were well looked after. It's a nice clean bar with good facilities and friendly staff. They also have bar games if that's what you're into!

Clean rooms, a great location, good water pressure in the shower, friendly and polite staff, super comfortable mattress and pillows.
Went to the Phoenix hotel for a happy hour at the bar on the main floor. Kitschy and fun, the decor is mostly record sleeves and the cocktails were okay. Nothing too crazy.
This place is such an oasis! You can easily forget that the city is bustling all around you as this friendly staff welcomes you with kindness and consideration. The atmosphere is authintic rock star in nature and the food is always on point. The pool is always sparkling and they keep it warm in the colder months. I’ve stayed here almost a dozen times and I’ve never had a single complaint. Good work...
Great hotel! Very clean and the attendants are very helpful and kind. It was my best choice for San Francisco! I loved here
We were looking for an affordable hotel that had a pool for our trip to San Francisco. We ended up deciding to stay at the Phoenix. This hotel definitely has some good qualities and then a few not so good.
First, the not so good. The Neighbourhood this hotel is located in is pretty sketchy. We wanted to walk to the cable car station and it was a very rough neighborhood. My husband took a walk one...
This sweet and cozy hotel is like an oasis in a kinda freaky neighborhood (Tenderloin). Cool crew which shares recommendations for nice nearby spots (Jane cafe). They serve complementary coffee and sweets (non vegan) every morning next to the heated pool outside. WiFi was very sluggish so keep that in mind, but they got nice USB charges next to the beds ?

Old-fashioned ambience, location near all the major downtown sites, price was very good (although it was off-season), and the room was very clean and comfortable.
Great hotel. Really enjoyed our stay. Room was comfortable and spacious. Great location, very central for touring San Francisco. Staff were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Perfect. Cheese and wine. Nicely situated regarding fisherman's wharf. Good the restaurant opposite. Good car service and very clean rooms. No street people at the door.
Hotel looks very posh for a 3 star hotel. Room is big and prices are affordable (for San Francisco). Location is good too.
Rooms were fantastic if basic and staff really helpful, bed comfortable and good night's sleep. The windows are only single glazed so if you get a room facing a road it is quite noisy, especially as it's down the road from the fire station. Breakfast is ok but could do with more additions food wise pastries and fruit are your only choice, croissants also served but nothing to put on them and only tea...
Excellent valua, especially when compared with other hotel in town. The location is great if you want to explore the city or have meetings in town. The rooms look fine and are properly cleaned. Water pressure was really good, what made for a refreshing shower. The staff is a bit uninterested and not very helpful.

Had a nice stay there last week. Staff helpful. Good location in walking distance to public transportation and city points.
Small, but clean rooms in a historic hotel. They partner with a parking garage right around the block to get guests a discounted daily rate on parking. It's within walking distance for union square, China town, grace cathedral, MOMA, and a trolley car pick up. Right across the street from Honey Honey, it makes for a great base of operations to explore what down town San Francisco has to offer
Excellent experience big shout out to a Mike and the rest of the staff what a great lot of people very cosy comfortable foom great price great location would highly recommend
Location is great, close to Union Square. The service was wonderful as well as my room. It is small but clean, has an upgraded bathroom, there is also refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker in the room. Breakfast was not great, that's the only complaint, otherwise I liked the hotel very much.
