We’ve stayed here twice now. The price is great for San Francisco. It is an older hotel. It’s a good location, close to public transportation and feels safe. The staff was helpful when our heater wasn’t working and fixed it right away. We’ll continue to stay here for the price and location.

The room we had was not updated in any way. The heater made a loud banging noise every time it kicked in. The bed was alright, but only one chair in the room. The staff was friendly though and the hotel was safe.

Small 2 bedroom room. We thought we would get queen beds but found only standard -- maybe our fault. Staff was excellent, restaurant food was very good, room was clean. We would recommend, at the price.

Overall, a really poor experience and I do not recommend staying at The Pickwick. The room itself was surprisingly noisy and folks in the neighboring room, talking in a normal volume. sounded as if they were in the same room with you. The room also had very poor ventilation/climate control. The thermostat didn’t seem to actually control anything and, to get any ventilation, we had to open the windows and the door to get fresh air movement. Having a vehicle in San Francisco is always a liability, but parking at The Pickwick was especially problematic. The property summary says "self-parking available", but that's not true. Yes, you can drive your car into the adjacent parking garage, but you then have to leave your key with the attendant so your vehicle can be jockeyed around and squeezed in a parking spot in the dirty, cramped garage. When you want to get your car, you give the attendant your key tag and they retrieve it for you. To me, that's not "self-parking"...and it'll cost you $59 a day for the inconvenience. Walking around at night, you get to enjoy watching the “Tenderloin zombies” stumbling around in their chemical-induced stupors. At 6’ 2”, 220 pounds, I found them amusing, but they made my wife (4’ 11”, 100 pounds) uncomfortable.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived a little early and they were able to accommodate us. Room was small but cozy, quiet, and tidy. Bed was comfy. Conveniently located near access to BART and Cable cars, shops, Union Square, and Chinatown. Cons: No usb A or C outlets/ports, so be sure to bring your blocks to plug in and fridge wasn’t cold. These weren’t a big deal for us. Unfortunately there’s a lot of homeless in the city, but we (3 women) never felt threatened. We love San Francisco and would stay here again.

Staff were all very kind, thank you especially to the valet and the cleaning staff :) close to union square and convenient safe parking, room and hotel are older (est. 1926 i believe) but we were comfortable and cozy. We do wish the heat went up a bit more but that’s because we like to be toasty.
