Hotel Whitcomb San Francisco

We did enjoy ourselves during our stay at Hotel Whitcomb. We would suggest that there be more emphasis to the guest when booking that paying is an additional cost (and not a cheap one). Also, to let the guest know about all the means of public transportation, and that you really do not not neor want to have a vehicle during your stay.

Everything about it, was a great place to call home for a few days in a new city

Hotel Whitcomb is a decent hotel for the price. I would have expected a little more from it, like a pool or hot tub. You also have to pay $35/night to park there. My room faced Market Street, and I could hear all the traffic there, especially the 5 a.m. street sweepers. The curtains also did little to keep the sun out. The room itself was basic and offered nothing you wouldn't find anywhere else.

I would not recommend that anyone stay here. Walls were paper thin, I could hear everything in the hallway and next door. The hotel smelled, the sheets were stained, and I found a hair on a glass left in my room. Staff was not overly helpful. Location is so-so.

There was always a long line at the front desk and not more than two people working. The gift shop was rarely staffed (even in the middle of the day). The Wifi connection in the rooms was terrible (I actually switched rooms but it didn't help). Mostly, it is in the absolute worst area of San Francisco, known as "the tenderloin." It would be safe to say that it was an outright dangerous neighborhood (I witnessed one arrest and saw many other situations in which there should have been one). It was really bad. I wish I had been able to see THAT on the site when I booked.

it was very good ans friendly. room services was very good and the hotel staff.

Location on Market Street couldn't be better. Easy access to all public transportation or easy walking to so many San Francisco sights. Staff at the hotel couldn't be better. Rooms are beautiful. Loved the old world feel to the hotel. Can't wait to return.

I loved the location of this hotel, located inbetween the aiport, fishermans wharf, union square, Ghirardelli square, shopping and dining all around, starbucks in the hotel, whats not to like......Carpet smelled a little musty, but a beautiful old fashioned hotel. Beds were comfortable and the room was quiet.

We found the staff at Whitcomb to be very friendly and the rooms pretty much what we expected for an older building but the area is what killed it for us. On the first night we got in late form the airport so we went straight to bed only to lay there listening to people fighting and yelling out the front. The next morning we got up to go for a walk to get some breakfast and within 5 minutes we saw one guy vomiting in the middle of the road and then another guy urinating on the sidewalk! The whole area is full of homeless people and people on drugs (apparently its ok to smoke crack pipes in broad daylight in SF) We where in NYC only the week before and we felt a lot safer walking around there even at night time. There are some beautiful areas around SF but unfortunately you need to walk trough so much filth to get to them from Whitcomb that we ened up just getting taxis out the front to get out of the area, so in the end with all the money we spent on taxis we could have just stayed at a place in a nice area.

Hotel Whitcomb is a historic hotel with comfortable accomodations in the heart of the city. With the Bart/Muni station steps from the door the entire city is footsteps away. The hotel offers a lot of character, although the rooms are a bit dingy. Particularly, the bathrooms. However, the bed are quite comfortable and that's what's most important. And the staff is pleasant.
