I recently visited San Francisco for the first time. When trying to find a place to stay I found out about Hotel Whitcomb due to online reviews and searching Google. What a pleasant surprise. Great location, access to BART right out the front door. Great spot for the Market and Wharves Streetcar Line as well. The room was comfy and... More

My girlfriend and I spent five nights at the Hotel Whitcomb on Market street. We really didn't mind the noise and traffic on the busy street. Union Square and the nearby shopping district is a pleasant fifteen to twenty minute walk. Sometime we took a bus or street car that runs in front of the hotel. The ambiance of the... More

When I checked-in to the hotel last Friday night, I was extremely pleased to see that I had a manager assisting me. Manisha’s professional, polite, and expeditious manor was truly appreciated. Her cordial and friendly nature also added to my very pleasant check-in. I would also like to comment on Manisha going “above and beyond” in locating a room with... More

It's a great location to get to everything you want to in San Francisco. It's a great value for what you get in San Francisco. The staff bend over backwards to help you with anything you may need at anytime, no matter how busy they may be. If I had to hire a team of employees it would be the... More

The grand lobby is like walking into a painting. This historic hotel in the heart of San Fran's Civic Center district is beautifully appointed with custom mahogany trim, marble columns and crystal chandeliers. The rooms, while small, as most historic hotel rooms are, are very comfortable, clean and charmingly decorated. The staff, especially Kazi Ahmed, Director of Guest Services, are... More

After getting this Hotel allocated through Hotwire we were pleasantly surprised on arrival. It is central, charming and above all the service was outstanding. If you are lucky enough to get Harvey on reception you won't be disappointed. He was so helpful and obliging. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very tidy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Whitcomb. Staff were extremely helpful and happy and I really enjoyed the old style character of the hotel. It is reasonably priced and our room was very functional and comfortable - although naturally dated as it is an old hotel. The bed in particular was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. I... More

Ever seen The Shining? Picture long corridors and candelabras. Once upon a time this was probably a beautiful hotel, but, alas, those days are long gone. So scary. I kept thinking someone in the room next to me was typing away, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." It''s never a good thing when your cab driver... More

From the outset, this is a beautiful looking classic hotel. The staff were very helpful (especially the concierge) with transport and restaurant options. However, there never seemed to be enough people at front desk, and I often saw long lines during peak check-in periods, first thing in the morning etc. Our room was reasonable clean, but it did feel a...
