Staff were nice. Good location, short drive to popular locations.

Jenan, Australia

The location was ok for transportation connection.

_amon_, Japan

We loved the meals and staff. We had breakfast and dinner several times.

Richard, United States of America

Just 2 min walk from Civic Center BART station. However, BART train service rather poor, long Q for ticketing at airport, train always delay, not operating on Sunday till 8 am. Walking distance to Powell Cable Car Station, worth taking a ride though again long Q. Best view point for Golden Gate Bridge at Battery Spencer. Uber there to watch sunset, you won't be disappointed.

Ho, Singapore

Convenient location near opera, symphony, and civic center. Historic hotel.

Jk, United States of America

Hotel was within walking distance of the theatre. Met friends and we dined in the hotel's dining room, which was good. Unfortunately, the bar and restaurant closes at 10 pm. and the neighborhood is too scary to look for other bars or restaurants.

Christi, United States of America

The hotel was lovely and furnishings were nice, the bed was comfy and it was quiet.

Stephanie, United Kingdom

Room was nicely decorated and the staff was fairly welcoming. Great walking distance from the Civic Center, bar/restaurant staff was incredibly accommodating. Very beautiful lobby with a vintage feel. If this site didn't have its own rating calculator I'd probably give it about a 6.5/10

Dachshundlover2017, United States of America

If you exit the hotel to the left and head towards Hayes Street, you'll find nice restaurants and bars as well as the beautiful Civic Center with the Opera, Symphony, and Ballett in 10 minutes walking distance. Beds are comfortable and rooms are clean.

Annabelle, United States of America

The hotel was very clean, beds were comfortable and the shower was hot.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“Extremely comfortable bed.”

Brenda

United States of America

“Despite recent reviews I have read I would say this is a great location and the homeless are really not a problem; and yes San Francisco has many of them. Dinner in the Market street grill is always excellent; we have been there many times. This is a real classic hotel and feels very comfortable to me. I found our room was reall very quiet.”

John

United States of America

“All staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly I lost the name of the person who checked me in when I arrived. I told him it was my birthday the next day and could he give me a nice room so I could sleep in and also have a nice view. He couldn't find one right then but since I had to wait for a room anyway, he said he would find me a room he hoped I would enjoy. He did and the room location was great, despite construction across the street. I appreciated his help very much! Small room, tiny bathroom but workable for one if there were blinds to close on the window. Location great for walking and to get to hotel from the airport & around the City and the East Bay.”

눉When you first pull into the Whitcomb hotel you pull to the side of the hotel into an alley to park your car. Along side the intire building is drug dealers and tweakers. When you step out of he vehicle the smell of uren clogs your snostrels. Let's just say this was just the beginning. They described this hotel to have restraunts and shopping near by we didn't find much. If you like a comfy bed and a hot shower I'd say go somewhere else. We paid over $300 for our room and felt that we should of gotton a lot more out of our money. DONT GO!!!

눉Glad it was only a one night stay. The bathroom was the size of a small closet. One of the lights had to be unplugged to shut it off as the switch was broken. Lots of street noise. If you're into historic maybe it's for you, but not for us.

눇We booked from Sun.-Fri. morning. When we checked out we paid the price given to us by booking.com. At no time did we get a bill that was broken down, upon returning home we were billed for an addition time, saying we did not book the whole trip?????? My bad, for not completely reviewing the confirmation. In addition they billed us two days at a low price and the rest of the time at a higher price??????
