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

I stayed here for 3 nights on our trip through California. Overall, was very impressed with the Hotel Whitcomb, a beautiful building - must have been a very grand hotel back in its day. Yes, it has aged but they have done a great job at keeping it maintained. Rooms are a little small but the beautiful high ceilings certainly... more

This was my second stay in Hotel Whitcomb and my experience is practically the same. If you are attending some event in San Francisco, you will most probably need to be close to Moscone Center. Well, I always choose Whitcomb because its is located just 4 blocks from the mentioned convention center. If going to the convention center it will... more

Booked the Whitcomb Hotel directly through their website because they had a great half-price special just when we needed it. $100/nite for a double-double room. The hotel is historical and old, BUT there is no peeling paint or worn carpeting or other signs of it's age. They keep it in tip-top shape! Taking the BART from SFO to Whitcomb Hotel... more

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking time to write about your stay at the Hotel Whitcomb. I am pleased that you found the hotel to be nice. I am sorry you did not like the area but the homeless situation does exist throughout the City as with most urban areas, including the Union Square area. Kind regards, Darin Sturgill

We love SFO. The hotel is very close to the trams/bus stop, in fact just 1 min walk away. I say that was a blessing(read on) and very convenient. What a brilliant idea to have Starbucks just next to the hotel. You could always grab a coffee and muffin to go. The car park service was extortion, each night we... more

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking time to write about your stay at the Hotel Whitcomb. I am glad that you found the hotel's central location to be so convenient. Regarding our valet parking service, our price is actually much lower than most valet services in San Francisco. As the hotel is in a major cosmopolitan area, the City does...
