The Whitcomb is in a great location, right on Market Street with direct access to SF public transportation and only a few minutes' walk from the Union Square area. The public facilities (lobby, ballroom and meeting rooms) are nice and well-maintained. However, the guest room I was in was quite small, with just enough room for the two double beds... more

We spent only 5 days in San Francisco and a business colleague recommended staying at the Whitcomb. We were told it's not a modern hotel but everything was kept well and staff were friendly and courteous so we booked via our agent who recommended somewhere else but still booked for us. We decided to fore go a taxi and see... more

The hotel itsel was nice enough. Having a Starbucks in the lobby and a breakfast place (or 2) right across the street helps. The parking is a bit pricey at $28, but I guess it is SF. A couple other reviewers also mentioned this but, at check in the desk clerk basically told me that I probably paid too much... more

It's an enjoyable time staying at Hotel Whilcomb. The staffs (lobby check in, the house keeper, etc.) were very helpful and friendly. The hotel location was convenient to go to citvic hall, shopping center, and commuting to all tourist locations. We actually can enyor the July 4th firework from our room. The starbucks provides convenience to have breakfast and/or coffee... more

It would not impress anyone, not a "sizzle" place, but the steak of it is... basic and OK, great for the price. For a hundred bucks more you can have the sizzle at a more upscale place. For good sleep, convenient location, reasonable price; perfect. The good: Great bed, nice linnens, comfy, great pillows, nice friendly staff, convined location on... more

So I went with my mom, dad, 2 cousins, 2 sets of aunts/uncles, and 3 grandparents. As u can imagine, a relatively big group. So we went to San Francisco for the 4th of July celebration, and might I add, San Francisco has some sweet fireworks. So more about the hotel, parking is 20 dollars a car per night, with... more

I had a very enjoyable stay at the Hotel Whitcomb this week. My room was in good condition, the maid service was friendly and thorough, and check in and check out went smoothly. I especially appreciated the care of the agent at check in who consolidated my two reservations, so that I would not have to move rooms. While the... more

Let's keep this one short. Great hotel for its price. Location kind of out of the centre is no bother at all as you are one step away from public transporation and convenient shops around (such as the F-line, Starbucks, Walgreens, BK, Subway). Rooms are not that large but serve their purpose just fine if you're not going to be... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights with my friend when I was visiting SFO in Dec 2008. I found it to be one of the most affordable hotels with a fairly good rating on tripadvisor. The hotel has comfortable rooms, very friendly staff and an old world feel to it. Once you are inside you feel that time... more

This hotel is located in front of Civic Center Station. From this hotel, you can easily access everywhere in San Francisco. Because the room was so large and the closet was also very large, we could easily put away our baggages and open the baggages. The staffs were so kind that they taught us how to go to the Golden... more
