There was a slight problem with my room rate per night. I made the reservation over a year ago but I had to modify my dates when it got closer to the trip. The internet special rate was lower when I made my initial reservation and their website gave me the same rate when I modified the dates online but... More

Great location being situated off the main shopping area and next to China Town. Great location for public transport as it was in walking distance of Powell St and Montgomery St stations. I felt safe walking around the main road areas around the hotel. The room was good size and had a ceiling fan to keep the air moving. As... More

There are a lot of good things about the Baldwin Hotel, but nothing supersedes the excitement of returning to the room to find a terry cloth mollusk waiting (with special pipe cleaners for antennae). This was a special touch necessary to highlight, as it made our experience memorable. It was more than a room cleaning. It was art. To get... More

The staff was simply above and beyond, deserving all the praise in the world. After all, where else do you get animals made out of towels on your bed every evening (we got a snail and two kissing swans)? Further, came early to the hotel (took four more days vacation after the conference I had attended in SF was over,... More

Perfect location for walking to sights, shopping, convention center, financial district and to public transit. Staff is friendly & accommodating. Room and bathroom were & clean, beds comfortable. Our room was decently-sized, with a large closet.

This place was clean and quiet. Staff was friendly. Location was great and so was the price. I was worried about noise from the street but it wasnt a problem. I would recommend a room on an upper level for this reason. I paln to stay here again. Big claw foot bathtub! Room was a little small but nothing to... More

Visiting from Seattle for a conference. I was looking for a good hotel within a comfortable walk of the Moscone Center and convenient to public transportation. I definitely found it in the Baldwin Hotel. The room is clean, quiet, more than large enough, and comfortable, with a bed, desk, roomy closet, and decent bathroom. No AC but the ceiling fan... More

This unpretentious property is in an excellent location--walking distance to many of the city's important attractions (and the Hilton Convention Center) and with good transportation options to those that are not. The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms spotlessly clean. There is a spacious closest (with an iron and and board) in which to store luggage and hang clothing. The... More
