I have never written a review before but felt very strongly about sharing my experience with others. The rooms are darkly lit, the light bulb was out, the 19" TV was black and white with constant static on every channel. When I asked to be changed into another room, the front staff stated, "that I was a pain in the... more

We stayed at The Pickwick Hotel in August 2009. We found the hotel to be clean and defnitley served its purpose. We were in San Fran for three nights and spent little time in our room. The rooms are a little 'daggy' and the bathrooms small but all adequate. My only criticism would be the bathroom roof above the shower... more

Rooms are very small, but are ideal for a quick getaway to the City. Don’t think I’d want to pay full price; the Hotwire price was ideal (about half standard rate).The Pickwick is within spitting distance of the major shopping areas (boo!) and some interesting museums and galleries. It is also (most importantly) within staggering distance of many great bars... more

-Checking in was speedy -Rooms were on the smaller size because the Pickwick was a boutique-styled hotel -Comfortable beds -Cozy -Great location, adjacent to the HUGE Westfield shopping mall Overall, this hotel was pleasant.

The lobby and other common areas of this hotel are nothing to write home about. However, the rooms are very clean and well appointed. The rooms are modern and comfortable, a contrast from the lobby and hallways. The location of this hotel is great and you can easily access different areas of the city by foot or cab. We were... more

Good location, close to BART and MUNI and easy walk to shopping and Market St. Extremely comfy beds No drawer units in the room for stashing away clothes. Hotel's comment when we asked to get some drawers or move to a room that had them 'well it's a historic hotel'; what that had to do with drawers we never did... more

What a fabulous hotel! It is very conveniently located near the Powell St. Bart station and F-Line to the Wharf. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room was a little small, but is to be expected in an old, remodeled building. We would most definitely recommend and plan on staying here again when we return! more

I stayed at the Pickwick for business. The room I had was on the street side of the hotel and you could hear street noise all night. The walls were thin. My friend had to be relocated because the kids in the room next to her were so loud she couldn't stay in the room. The tub is really narrow... more
