This review is written for fellow WWDC or tech conference people. Avoid this hotel if you want reliable, or halfway quick wifi. I wasn't able to do any work from the hotel room because the wifi was far too slow to stream video content. This may not be an issue to some people, but to fellow WWDC attendees this is... More

San Francisco's Pickwick Hotel is a reasonably priced botique hotel in the heart of the Mission district providing easy access to most of San Francisco's famed shopping, dining, and attractions. Moscone Center, Union Square, Museum of Modern Art, all within a short walk. We booked through Expedia, and, as usual with 3rd party online booking, guests are positioned at the... More

This hotel shocked me a little. I've walked by many times thinking, "this place is a dump". I was pleasantly surprised by how big my room was, how clean it was, and how comfortable it was. It's very conveniently located. SF Center is right next door, Soma to the South and the Theatre district is just 3t o 4 blocks... More

Don't understand some of the negative reviews! Stayed here in August 2012 for a week and loved our stay! We were initially put off by the location when we arrived in the train station, but this is a clean and safe hotel in a super handy spot next to Westfield. All the facilities you want in a room. We arrived... More

Staff is almost extorting tips. Initially, we as a foreigners were not aware that tips is a part of everyday life in America, so we did not leave money in the hotel room. They stopped putting toilet paper, replacing soap, etc. Only way to get soap replaced, new shampoo or get a toilet paper was to start leaving tips on... More

NOT A 3-STAR! This hotel is what you call a "pig with lipstick!" There's no other way to describe an 87 year old building that's been repainted numerous times with new carpet and lots of trim to freshen it up. The chipping paint, student-grade micro-apartment in a 1926 building that still features original steel frame exterior windows (broken latches in... More

This hotel was booked for me by someone at my office. The hotel that held the conference I was attending was full, and this was just a 5-minute walk away. I stayed in one of the Executive King rooms on the 8th floor for two nights. They charged $239 for a Tuesday night and $179 for a Wednesday night. I... More

The hotel was fine. We wanted something close to the Metreon NCLR event we attended, and the Pickwick was an easy stroll. It is also very easily accessible to public transit, so we left the car in the garage until checking out. On that note, $40 for parking from 3pm until 1pm the next day is ridiculous - even in...
