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.

The building was very old and it showed. The carpet looked like it was old but very clean. The carpet was loose on the floor and it moved as you walked and the windows were very old. I am not complaining because these things added character. The building was clean and quiet for my stay. The oldness made the stay better. It added character. I almost wanted it to be haunted because I found out it was built in 1926. The staff was beyond polite and I loved my stay. The location of the hotel was beyond convenient and I would for sure stay again. The only thing is I did not know about the parking fee. I don’t travel a lot and didn’t know parking was a thing to charge when you are staying at the hotel but that’s my fault for not researching. Brian the manager at the desk was amazing and I appreciate that. Love love loved my stay.

The room smelled unpleasant upon arrival, so we aired it out. The heating never worked, and it was 10 degrees Celsius at night. The room had five windows, none of which were sealed. There were no extra blankets, and we found someone's clothes in the closet. The trash wasn't taken out daily, but housekeeping was done daily. No one spoke Spanish at reception. However, they did their best and provided good service at the counter. Breakfast is not included, as indicated. The facilities are quite old, although they appear to receive some maintenance. The Wi-Fi is 4G, very slow, but it works. Despite all this, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the room security was impeccable, even with the car parked. Recommended for milder weather!

Room was clean, comfy bed, great bathroom and shower, also. The little fridge worked great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff, including Brian the manager who was on-site, were all very professional, kind and hospitable. They definitely make each customer feel valued from check-in to check-out. On top of all that, getting to stay in a well- maintained 100 year old hotel is all definitely worth it.
