Was delightfully surprised by how nice this hotel is. Right across from Chinatown, nice cafes across the street, and good shopping and nightlife nearby. More

This hotel is right outside the gates to china town and a short walk to cable cars (5 mins) also right but a BART station although we never used this. Its easy enough to walk to union square and market from here too. The hotel is nice and clean staff seemed nice too. Beds were quite small though and the... More

Inexpensive, clean, good location, nicely decorated. Rooms were small by US standards but Europeans wouldn't call them small. Very good value for money. You'd have to have very high standards or be very rich to feel uncomfortable or unhappy with this hotel. More

I booked this hotel based on the feedback rating on Expedia and various other sites and wasn't disappointed in what I got, based on the reviews. It very much reminded me of some old fashioned British hotels I have stayed in at seaside resorts. The door system is still operated by keys as opposed to a modern card system. There... More

This hotel is a very easy walk from BART and bus system that will take you just about anywhere. It is also possible to walk 'FLAT' no hills to Fishermans wharf it takes about 20 minutes, but is a safe and scenic walk. Some of the best shopping I have have ever experiences on the same street and surrounding streets.... More

The Baldwin Hotel offered a great value for a clean, quiet, and ample sized room near the Union Square and Chinatown areas in downtown San Francisco. There weren't many frills, but the service was very friendly, there was free coffee in the lobby, and you can't beat the location for $73/night in late December! We had stayed across the street...

Fantastic hotel for exploring San Francisco, the Baldwin is excellently located for exploring China Town, Nob hill and Union Square. The rooms are a little dated but spotlessly clean and different towel arrangements on the bed each day which are great fun. TV channel selection was excellent and we would dedinately return and use again if exploring the city. More

I recently tried to book a hotel in the financial district of San Francisco. Due to a conference, all the major hotels were booked, but the Baldwin had a room for $129 / night. I was coming for business without a family, so I booked the room. Upon arriving, I was disappointed. The hotel is clearly quite old, and while... More
