Good stay in San Francisco

Pros: The old world charm and history make it a great hotel.
Cons: The room was clean and tidy , however could do with a refurb especially the bathroom.
Location: The area has a large homeless population which makes you aware of your surroundings when walking around but don't let this affect you staying there.
The holiday was booked at last minute, although the hotel is out of reach of most of the tourist destinations, everywhere was easily accessible via the trams and buses. There is a great walk to Chrissy Field and this was made even better by the unseasonably warm weather giving a great view of The Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz , there is way more to San Francisco than just Pier 39 if you are willing to take a good look.

Tired historic hotel that's past its best

Pros: Comfy bed
Cons: Practically everything in the room
Location: Handy location on Market Street. Public transport nearby. On main Bart route from the airport. Civic Centre and City Hall nearby
Historic hotel with elegant lobby, restaurant and other public areas but room was old, worn and shabby. Lighting was very poor, insufficient to read by and table lamp switch was broken. TV picture blurred and couldnt be tuned any better. No coffee machine or bottled water. Toiletries weren't replaced during a 3 night stay. Over priced for what was provided

Mood over Matter

Very direct and unmannerly front off house staff, checking in was a laugh and thought I was getting arrested with the bad mannered male receptionist on duty. Nice hotel with no personality and lacking the american flare I would expect. Wifi was slow like the hot water. Previous comments on the homelessness was putting me off but found them more polite and mannerly than some of the staff.

A Blast from the past

We enjoyed our stay at the Whitcomb Hotel. Loved the ambience of this place which looks to be virtually unchanged since the 30s The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The hotel was very busy, and one slight downside was the lifts are extremely slow in spite of 4 in the main lobby, only 1 ever seems to turn up. There some huge crystal chandeliers, which looked a bit dull, these would look stunning if they were cleaned up.

In die jahre gekommenes nobelhotel.

Uraltes, dunkles, ehemaliges nobelhotel. Wie ein geisterschloss. Zimmer sind sehr klein aber sauber. Vorteil: starbucks gleich im hotel integriert.

Good day Anonymous, Thank you for your comments Kevin V/DOO

you get what you pay

the internet is a nightmare! For somebody traveling a working wifi is essential. I always had to go to the lobby to use internet which is very inconvenient. The rooms are quite dirty. The sink has not been washed once during my 4 night stay! It was rather dirty. the location is amazing if you don't mind some bums (which I don't mind!). I would not stay again. There are a lot nicer places in San Fran!
