    The room was as pictured, clean with the essentials. The only downside is their air conditioning, it doesn’t do much so if you’re a hot sleeper it might be rough. We kept the windows open which helped.

    The rooms need desperate maintenance. Simply re-caulking the crown molding in the rooms would make a huge difference. The bathroom looked upgraded. The front desk area are nice. Self parking is awesome. You actually leave your car and keys with valet. It is expensive but worth it.

    The checkin staff were amazing, the room was huge comfortable and so glad we stayed, the Soma restaurant which was attached to the hotel, was an amazing place to ea Our room was close to the elevator which wasn't nice, and the room even though it was wonderful the view was yuck and I think you need more ability to ask if we wanted to be next to the elevator

    The room was poorly maintained and did not appear to ever be cleaned. There was visible red/orange/black mold on the shower, walls, and even the window curtains. The room had a strong, unpleasant odor, and the floors, tabletops, and dresser surfaces remained dirty throughout my entire stay. Housekeeping seemed to only empty the trash and make the bed. The air conditioning was broken. There was no way to control the temperature, and the room stayed uncomfortably warm. The unit also made a loud metallic banging noise every 15 minutes throughout the night, repeatedly waking me up. The bathroom was in rough condition. The shower contained a permanently attached bath mat that was dirty and unsanitary, and the bathroom door would not fully close or lock. Amenities were extremely limited. Water was not complimentary, there were very few hangers, and when I asked the front desk for a spoon, they didn't even have basic plastic utensils available. The surrounding area felt unsafe, with frequent screaming, aggravated fights, police, and disruptive noise outside the hotel at all hours. Opening the windows wasn't a realistic option to cool the room down because there were no screens, and bugs came in. Overall, the hotel felt neglected, dirty, and poorly maintained. Between the mold, cleanliness issues, lack of amenities, broken climate control, and constant noise, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had.

    The location is very convenient, with easy access to major public transport stops, supermarkets, and several restaurants nearby. Buses from the area provide direct access to popular attractions such as the Golden Gate Bridge. It is also possible to enjoy a pleasant walk to the Ferry Building and Chinatown. Since the property is located right next to the main roads, the area tends to be quite noisy and loud, even during the night.

    Close to Union Square. Easy walk Hotel was able to store our luggage from 10am. Rooms available after 3pm. Owing to flight change (from 6am Sunday to 11.30pm Saturday) we left at 7.30pm and didn't stay overnight as planned. We were able to shower and have a quick nap prior to leaving for a 15hr flight home so happy with what we got/used at the hotel. No USB ports in room for phone charging which meant we had to unpack suitcase to find power adaptors. Odd smell in room on arrival. We were ablevto open window for fresh air tho.

    Stayed here with some friends , stay was okay but rooms need some remodeling and new carpets. Italian restaurant attached was out of noodles and chicken two nights in a row. A/C didn’t work well at all was very hot in room thankfully I had brought a small fan in my suitcase that I was able to put in window to keep us cool at night. Windows are old and did not have any type of screens on them tho. Was woke up several times during the night by sirens and had to listen to loud noise from the bars across the street.

    The hotel does the job, but it doesn’t offer anything special. However, for the price in such an expensive city, it’s a decent option. I’d recommend it for 1–2 nights – the location is brilliant and the pay-and-display car park works well. The staff are, of course, friendly.

    Hotel looks nothing like the pictures. Do not stay here. The bathroom shower has paint peeling from the ceiling and the shower is stained with dirt. The window didn’t close properly so our room was very loud. Took a shower and the towel was stained with some type of body fluid. The room was just outright disgusting. Spoke to the hotel stay about moving us to another room and they did but it was just a lil less disgusting. Be honest with what your rooms look like today not 30 yrs ago.

    Staff was helpful, room was clean, room was close by the elevators and was quite noisy. At first I thought they were remodeling another room and using power tools. The as it got later and the noise continued that I realized it must be the elevator equipment. Also they are not completely transparent on parking charges say $52 per nite which is already pretty expensive.then add on extra fees and taxes what thought would be 104 for two nights ended up being 148 .

    The photos are misleading. Yes, this is a very old hotel, but it has not been updated to meet the standards that the photos convey. The carpet is uprooting from the floor, the baseboards are falling apart, there were stains on the bedding, hair in the “clean” sink, stains on the carpet, and was very rundown overall.

  • Daniel May 2026 · via expedia

    They charge you $50 to park your car in their garage per day. And if you show up two hours early before the 3 pm check-in time, don't worry, that's another $20. The room is tiny, the TV miniature (only 10 channels!), and the AC barely does anything. We were sweating all night while laying on a hard, uncomfortable bed. DO NOT STAY HERE!!

    This place was ok. I arrived to my room my bathroom wasn’t fully cleaned and our fridge was leaking water and didn’t work. So we asked for a new room the gave us a new one right away which I appreciated. The hotel itself charges 60$ to park in the garage which they said they can deduct from deposit but you can pay cash only 30$ which the front desk was upset about when we were leaving. Overall the stay wasn’t the best but not the worst either.

    The place is a bit noisy. Our A/C was rattling and making noise. We were close to the elevator so we could hear the ding every time it arrived. When neighbor's toilet flushed it made a lot of noise. Piping is old. But otherwise no issues. Room was clean. The bed and pillows were fine for me.

    This hotel is over 100 years old, but is very well kept, attractive, and comfortable. One elevator was out of order while I was there, but there were not long waits for the other. The adjacent restaurant is excellent, and the attached parking garage is incredibly convenient. I have read reviews that claim the hotel has no air conditioning, but it does (the windows also open if you prefer). I enjoyed my stay in this beautiful historic property.

    I would stay here again. The Pickwick’s nightly price was reasonable (unlike most of the other hotels in the area). Convenient location- walking distance to the Moscone Center and Chinatown. Although the building is (over 100 years?) old, it has been well maintained. My room on the 2nd floor was clean (although some permanent scratches on the bathtub made it look dirty at 1st). There were some smells an old building will have, but nothing bad. The mini fridge in the room was nice. Front desk and cleaning staff were very kind and helpful. It was great to be allowed to store luggage at the hotel after check out in order to explore the city. I recommend! :)

    This is an older property that has not been well maintained. There were several chips in paint and areas needing to be repainted. The walls are thin and we could clearly hear people in the next room. The bed was uncomfortable and hard to sleep in. I woke up in the middle of the night to a strong smell of Marijuana smoke. Not sure if it cane through the ventilation or from the adjoining room door, but it was as strong as someone smoking in the room. The room entry is cramped and getting in and out of the closet, bathroom, and main door were like a puzzle that made it difficult for two people to get ready to go out at the same time.

    This hotel is very close to all the big theaters for live production in the city. The streets do have some homeless people in spots, but I felt very comfortable walking around, day or night. It never felt dangerous. It's also close to a Bart Station, (Powell) which was convenient. I got a good rate, and feel it was a bargain. I would stay again.

    This is a solid option for being in the heart of SF without paying the exhorbitant prices of nearby chain hotels. I would stay here again. Safe, easy access, and friendly staff. It is smallish, older, but if you need a place to stay that won't break the bank. This is a place to consider.

    The hotel is very old and it is way overdue for an upgrade snd remodel. Carpets need cleaning tubs need replacing where enamel has been resurfaced and the resurfacing has reached its limit. There aren’t nearly enough places to charge your accessories and none next to your bed. The garage at the hotel charges more overnight than the parking garage across the street something is wrong with that fact. It’s just such a great location and it could be such a great hotel. But it takes money to make money. And I’m not sure ownership is ready for that kind of commitment to its customers.

    The room had a very musky, damp smell. The beds were comfortable. The bar and bar staff were very cool, but it was very expensive for cocktails. No microwave. No view from the window.

    I wanted to like this hotel for its charm and excellent location, but in my opinion the negatives outweigh the positives. The staff were helpful with dining and public transit info, and the location is great. Yes, the parking is pricy, but it’s SF so I was just happy there was parking. The hotel is old, but well maintained. However the non-functional AC was brutal. The rooms get hot, and there is little to no air movement making the rooms stuffy all day and night. Also, two of us were bitten by bedbugs the first night. Though I didn’t see any major infestation evidence, the mattresses don’t have protective covers and beneath the headboard is incredibly dusty and grimy. Once we realized the bedbug situation, we checked out immediately. We were offered to change rooms, but I wouldn’t have been able to sleep after being consumed the first night. Overall, great location and reasonable rates, but not worth the price of comfort and piece of mind.

    The biggest issue that I had there was my check-in time was 3:00 p.m. they didn't have my room ready until 5:00 p.m. and all they offered was a free breakfast. Plus The parking said it was only going to be $40. When I looked back at what I was charged, I was charged $59 for some reason.

    Unsure of the cleanliness of the sheets. Headboard and rug had stains. Dresser/ nightstands were obviously unwiped as there were water stains from previous patrons.

There was hair in the refrigerator. Asked to change sheets they did not. If given the choice to come back I would not.

    There was a huge power outage causing us to arrive to a dark hotel. Unable to check in. Had to climb over 7 flights of stairs to a room we had to wait to be let in. Unable to see or get work done due to no WiFi or ability to charge. Was told we would have in and out privileges from parking garage and was denied to leave. Had to pay extra money on Ubers we didn’t budget for. Whole night was a bust. I tried to talk to hotels.com and the manager at the Pickwick hotel and they didn’t give a refund or any accommodation. Super disappointed that I paid to get no work done and further injure my husbands knees on the walk up all the stairs. Horrible experience. Made us feel uncared for and we will not be back.

    The room itself was surprisingly noisy and folks in the neighboring room, talking in a normal volume. sounded as if they were in the same room with you. The room also had very poor ventilation/climate control. The thermostat didn’t seem to actually control anything and, to get any ventilation, we had to open the windows and the door to get fresh air movement. Having a vehicle in San Francisco is always a liability, but parking at The Pickwick was especially problematic. The property summary says "self-parking available", but that's not true. Yes, you can drive your car into the adjacent parking garage, but you then have to leave your key with the attendant so your vehicle can be jockeyed around and squeezed in a parking spot in the dirty, cramped garage. When you want to get your car, you give the attendant your key tag and they retrieve it for you. To me, that's not "self-parking"...and it'll cost you $59 a day for the inconvenience. Walking around at night, you get to enjoy watching the “Tenderloin zombies” stumbling around in their chemical-induced stupors. At 6’ 2”, 220 pounds, I found them amusing, but they made my wife (4’ 11”, 100 pounds) uncomfortable.

    The building was very old and it showed. The carpet looked like it was old but very clean. The carpet was loose on the floor and it moved as you walked and the windows were very old. I am not complaining because these things added character. The building was clean and quiet for my stay. The oldness made the stay better. It added character. I almost wanted it to be haunted because I found out it was built in 1926. The staff was beyond polite and I loved my stay. The location of the hotel was beyond convenient and I would for sure stay again. The only thing is I did not know about the parking fee. I don’t travel a lot and didn’t know parking was a thing to charge when you are staying at the hotel but that’s my fault for not researching. Brian the manager at the desk was amazing and I appreciate that. Love love loved my stay.

    The room smelled unpleasant upon arrival, so we aired it out. The heating never worked, and it was 10 degrees Celsius at night. The room had five windows, none of which were sealed. There were no extra blankets, and we found someone's clothes in the closet. The trash wasn't taken out daily, but housekeeping was done daily. No one spoke Spanish at reception. However, they did their best and provided good service at the counter. Breakfast is not included, as indicated. The facilities are quite old, although they appear to receive some maintenance. The Wi-Fi is 4G, very slow, but it works. Despite all this, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the room security was impeccable, even with the car parked. Recommended for milder weather!

Had to pitch a fit in the lobby to get the parking comped, they definitely weren’t inclined to do anything about it. Wanted me to come back after my checkout to talk to some manager who would be in after noon. Refused to move my check out back an hour til 1. Then just checked me out at 10:30 when I left to go do an errand, even though I told them I was coming back and would check out at noon. Pretty bush league

    my partner and were having intimacy around 9-9:30 nothing wild. not sure if the beds are due for a renovation, beds to close to the walls or simply picky neighbors. we were SURPRISED & SCARED with a big KNOCK on the wall like 3 times guessing the bed was making too much noise. we stopped but few mine later around 20-25 min the manager with no questions asked said " you need to keep it down or we will need to ask you to leave!" i was shocked and asked what had happened he said all your neighbors all complaining. i was shocked because were not laud or making a scene. My problem and mad at the property is that they didn't asked me any questions and directly accused of something without any investigation plus i mentioned if it was the next-door neighbor since they knocked on the wall very hard. he said no everyone i was very upset and was honestly forced by the situation to stay there was not going to look for a hotel at 10pm at night. but most definitely will never recommend or be back at that property if there was 0 start i wil give them that made the customer feel in a very hostile environment due to one complaint and no investigation that is very poor service!!! not sure of the managers name but he's a skinny African American guy at the front desk that's all i can remember that he was the one that checked us in our room.

    We enjoyed the deep soaking bathtub. Very comfortable and clean. Beds were soft and had an abundance of pillows. The breakfast was fantastic. Good selection, and everything was delicious. Restaurant staff were courteous and attentive. Hotel staff were kind and polite. It felt safe in the hotel. A key card is required to use the elevators. We stayed in an accessible room. The only changes we would recommend would be to also have a microwave in the room in addition to the fridge (which was nice and cold), and that the bathroom could use both some wall hooks and maybe a little table for toiletries. If you’re sensitive to sound, be aware that you do hear city noises, including sirens, and some noise from other rooms. It didn’t bother us. Great location to access Moscone, Yerba Buena, and UCSF. Thanks again, Pickwick Hotel! We will be back!

    I would definitely stay here again. The property was very clean and conveniently located near the Powell bart station. There was a ton of food options nearby, I recommend Central Cafe and Hinodeya Ramen. The AC unit and thin walls were my only issues. Definitely an old SF boutique style hotel which is what I have learned to expect and enjoy when visiting the city!

    Oh boy where to start. To begin with, you are in San Francisco which right now it's -100 stars. You are greeted with one way streets and homeless or better yet, the unhoused.... They have a small parking under the hotel that is super dangerous getting in and out and it's $50 a day to park there. So if you thought you were saving money, you are not. Now let's move to the inside. Every thing is old and the theme is loose. The most amazing thing is the shower. Yes, the shower. The waters comes in a never ending cycle of cold, warm, warmer, hot, warmer, warm, cold and so on. So you have to time what you are washing. There is a muggy old smell inside. First time and last time.

    Great location near the theater district and the moscone center. Great staff but aging building, super thin walls, and the bed/pillows were soft.

    The Pickwick is a good motel option for the price. It is a clean, well presented building and the rooms are good with clean, functional bathrooms. The location is a positive and a negative. It is very close to Union Square so trams are very easy and convenient. This also puts it 1.5 blocks from “The Tenderloin” which appears to be a ghetto with numerous drug addicts all over the sidewalk. Do not walk north east of Market and 5th street.

    So we wanted our refund due to incorrect description of services but they ignored the calls and when I spoke to the lady at the front desk, she immediately cut me off and gave me attitude, speaking in a rude tone. As far as the room, it’s a basic room, nothing special about it. It did smell like cigarettes and the smoke detector was pulled off. The morning staff did not acknowledge us as we walked out and back in during our morning walk. No hello, no eye contact, no smile. They don’t communicate you have to pay for the ‘valet’ service during check out, and we went down and up and back down with our luggage to pay for the garage parking. Overall hospitality was a big negative and will not be returning to this hotel.

    My main complaint was the breakfast tickets I paid for in advance. The restaurant next door is a separate business and clearly a little irritated by customers with these tickets and the service showed that compared to other guests despite tipping well. I’d encourage the hotel to reconsider this partnership if the restaurant staff are unhappy about honoring the coupon they agreed to. The breakfast was delicious but it might be a better value to just pay as a regular customer.

    Bed was comfy and amenities in room (fridge/AC/tv ect) were good. Area around the hotel is obviously out of their control, but the need for them to lock the entry door says it all. Much like all of San Fran there is a large homeless population around the area and at night several loiter at the building opposite. They caused us no issues but is worth considering. Good location next to trams and subway station however. Would I stay again? Yes. Would I choose somewhere else first? Yes.

    I stayed here for a work conference that inflated the nightly rate to $373, an almost criminal price for what’s essentially a museum exhibit on early 2000s hotel decor. The average is under $200, which still feels steep unless you have a nostalgic itch for cracked tiles and dusty carpet. The hotel itself felt fairly safe, but the block around it was rough. Let’s just say “street activity” was happening in broad daylight, and I don’t mean food trucks. Would not stay here again.

    After reading the prior guest reviews I expected the hotel to be old, but in good condition and clean. I was not prepared for this hotel and WILL NEVER stay here again. The AC "worked" but did not cool the room at all on an especially hot San Francisco weekend. We requested maintenance the morning after we checked in but it never got any better. The carpets were beyond filthy. I did not want to walk barefoot in our room. The paint in the hallways and our room looks like it was completed 30+ years ago. There were huge scuff marks all over the walls like no one cared and the paint was peeling all over. The toilet looked like a toilet you would see in a gas station not a "nice hotel". The hotel could be nice but needs a major overhaul. On a positive note, it was nice to be able to park in the basement under the hotel and the front desk and cleaning staff were very nice and helpful. Please also be advised that the hotel is near "The Tenderloin" and some routes take you thru less than desirable areas.

    This was a last-minute booking after our initial hotel fell through. I was looking for a place in the San Francisco area that was close to the tourist spots and affordable. I read the reviews and the price wasn't terrible. I thought it would be fine for one night. The staff were super helpful and attentive, but upon entering the room, I noticed how old the hotel looks and feels. The bathroom felt uninviting and the bathtub looked disgusting, to the point where I couldn't shower barefoot. The beds felt sunken in. The A/C didn't work. It served its purpose, but I wouldn't book again. I thought it would be of better quality for the price. I could've just stayed at a hotel chain and gotten a better experience.

    Absolutely loved this hotel. It is central to so many things. Right off Market Street with plenty to do and places to eat. The area around the hotel is a little run down but it’s because it’s downtown in a large city and right off of a major square. The outside of the hotel and lobby look a little tired but The rooms were more than expected. Modernized, quiet and comfy. The Kuerig and ceramic cups were an added treat for me - no drinking coffee out of a cheap paper cup. Hotel security is top notch Requiring your room key card to enter the hotel and scan to punch your floor number on the elevator. Definitely would choose this hotel again-it helped make our SF trip better!

    I was not informed about the additional parking fee until after I had already checked in and asked where to park. It was frustrating to find out I had to pay extra per night without any prior notice. The room was also not as advertised. I booked a room with two queen beds, but what we got were more like twin beds — definitely not what was promised. I wish this property was more upfront and transparent so that guests know what to expect. Unfortunately, this experience left a lot to be desired. Also, there was no one in the front lobby to let me in and I stayed outside for about 20 minutes waiting for someone to arrive and let me in.

    We had an idea that the hotel wouldn't be a 5 star resort, but the photos online are misleading. The "superior" rooms are not titled correctly, they are dated and things were broken and things that were repaired were done incorrectly. I would have seen past this if the management of the hotel would have called me back after the front desk attendant put in a claim "I assure you they will reach out" but that never happened. With a major investment and serious renovation this would be a nice place but in the current condition it isn't.

    Hotel room was clean and staff was kind and helpful. I would consider staying again as the surrounding area was convenient. There were nearby grocery stores and many restaurants. I traveled for the SF marathon so the location was perfect for the trip.

    AC needs upgrading but other than that the room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Dining options around there are pretty scarce.

    Our room was full of black, sooty dust and the windows did not lock. Really needs to be repainted with scuff marks and cracks. The service staff were very kind and helpful and the beds and bedding comfortable. A real mixed bag, but I would not return.

    Property was good, staff friendly. Area has some interesting folks around but overall good, central to a lot of things. Only downside was there was no parking available at the hotel but luckily there's a garage right across that's 24hrs

    Here for a couple romantic trip. Didn’t want to leave hotel due to sketchy area. Concert across the street until 10 pm every night. Gun shots. People screaming. Outside people doing visible drugs. Parking area very unwelcoming. Would not recommend here

    When we got to the property to check in, they informed us that there was no hot water in the building and that they didn’t know when it would be turned on. They said I could take a few moments and decide if we wanted to keep reservation or get a full refund. I decided to check out the room and quickly decided we would not be staying there. Dirty windows and sills and floors. After I let the front desk manager know that we would not be staying, she assured me it would be easy for Expedia to refund the stay due to the hotels lack of hot water, being the main issue. It was not easy to get the refund and a stressful process especially since I’m 8.5 months pregnant. It inconvenienced us majorly and on top of everything we had to find another hotel last minute. I’m not really impressed with Expedia or the staff at the hotel.

    The location was perfect. There is a Target and a park nearby. Stops for the bus, tram and trolley were close as well. Unfortunately, the hot water was not working nor was not communicated to guests in a timely manner. I called the front desk at 11pm to inquire about it and left the hotel by 7:30am the next day. A letter was distributed at later in day, but we didn't get back to the hotel until much later to find this out and were too exhausted to find other accommodations. This was night 2 of our stay. Except for this, the stay was good. The staff was very accomodating. The hotel is older; therefore, there are some cosmetic issues. However, our room was cleaned early each day. On the last day, our flight was late in the evening, and the hotel allowed us to leave our four bags until we came back before our flight. Also, we bought our hotel/flight to include breakfast through the hotel. It was a nice way to start our day with a sit down breakfast that was located at a restaurant next door. Coffee or juice was included, and we only left a tip each day. Overall, a good experience especially for the price.

    Secured parking. The pictures from the hotel's website looks very different than the actual hotel. The building is old and everything inside is outdated. Needs remodeling.

    At that point, I requested to cancel due to the health concerns and overall discomfort. This entire situation was incredibly inconvenient, especially while traveling with my kids. I had to scramble to find another hotel last minute, which ended up being an hour outside the city, forcing us to drive in the early morning hours past. To make matters worse, no manager was available at the time, and I was told I’d have to wait until Sunday to speak with someone regarding a refund. The lack of accountability and support made an already stressful situation even worse.

    Great location - one block from the Powell Street station, both the modern station and the historical cable car line, which I highly recommend taking to Fisherman's Wharf. Our primary purpose was to go to Oracle Park. This is a no frills and older boutique hotel, but it was a comfortable place to sleep.

    We stayed there for 3 nights. The room was good/ok. It wasn’t a bad stay. It was Quick trip! There’s a restaurant attached to the hotel for lunch and dinner. And another restaurant next-door for breakfast and lunch is available too. Very convenient! The only thing was the toilet, you have to flush it a few times.

    Staff was so nice but can do better in cleanliness. To my surprise parking is not added to hotel reservations so had to pay extra and thankfully they had a spot open when we got there or else we would of had to go look somewhere else to park. There parking garage is open to the public so it gets full fast.
