Welcome to San Francisco's historic Hotel Whitcomb, an early 20th-century masterpiece that is a favorite among travelers. When you walk through the front doors of the landmark Hotel Whitcomb from bustling Market Street, you'll discover an elegant boutique hotel with high cathedral ceilings and lovely interiors recalling turn-of-the-century architecture.

The opulent lobby featuring Austrian crystal chandeliers, Tiffany glass, polished Italian marble columns and floors, Janesero wood paneling, polished brass fixtures, and fresh flowers accentuates the hotel's Victorian style that is sublimely refreshing to the soul.

A good value and good location - I'll come back here

Great historic old building. Market Street is the boundary btwn gentrified Civic Center area to the north and the scruffy Mission district to the south. Very convenient location due to all the bus, streetcar and BART lines right on Market Street. Staff were very nice and helpful and the room very comfortable. There is no heat in the hotel - typical in SF - and it would have been nice to warm up the room at night when the outside temp was 40 deg.

a place to sleep at night

if you're looking for a spacious, super comfortable, spotless, quiet and inexpensive place to stay while in san francisco... keep looking. if you just need a place to crash and watch bad cable tv in a central but disgusting neighborhood of SF than you'll probably be fine with this.

as expected...

The Hotel Whitcomb is a nice hotel in a not-so-nice part of town. Our cab driver from the airport suggested not going outside alone at night. The hotel staff was very nice and accomodating. We didn't spend much time in the room but it waa comfortable and the easy access to the Muni transportation system was great. I would stay again for the price.

Beware - Location is deceiving

As a frequent traveler for business and leisure, I was shocked at this hotel. Location is fine. However, the rooms are unclean, bathrooms are tiny, Internet = a cafe with dial-up, Room Service...? I arrived late in the evening for a business trip and took one look at the room - the old Ac Unit, Ancient TV, Unkept sheets, and musty smell before heading straight back to check-in to check out! IF you choose to stay here, just know that it is 'historic' in the worst ways possible.

A bed & a shower

If all you need is a clean room, a bed & a shower close to your point of interest, then this is the place. Luxury or comfort is not Hotel Whitcomb's strong point.

Hotel Whitcomb

Pros: located very close to public transportation Cons: The bed was extremely uncomfortable, probably the worst I've ever slept on. The room was not clean (particularly the bathroom). We were woken up each night around 0230 after the bars closed by drunk people yelling in the halls. All in all, very overpriced for what you got. I've stayed in hostels nicer than this.
