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...

Stayed for a recent event nearby at the Moscone centre, and wow the prices were driven up. This is *not* a £180/night (no breakfast included) hotel - and that reflects in my given rating. For half that price, it would be fine. I've stayed in some of the best hotels in the world for that price, so the Pickwick was... More

A nice Hotel with even nicer personel very near to Powell Street and all the shopping there and a end turn for the famous cable cars. The personel at the hotel are all invited here to a mid summer celebration at our place in Sweden! And next to the lobby there's a nice restaurant with a mediterrian theme. Yummie!

I spent the weekend in San Francisco and picked this hotel off Priceline. I had read the reviews about how friendly the staff was and it is true. In every encounter with the staff they were unfailingly friendly and helpful. We actually arrived about 4 hours before check in time and assumed we would leave our bags with the bellman... More

Stayed at The Pickwick for a week with my husband and had a very nice stay. The hotel is older with a lot of character and is in a great location! The rooms were very very small with it being difficult to get around the bed. The cabinet door that held the mini fridge could not even be opened but... More

I stayed at the Pickwick hotel with my boyfriend and I for 3 nights. It was small and quaint but cute & cozy at the same time. Very clean and no real complaints. Good location relative to Market street where all the shops are and can grab a cab to anywhere in San Francisco. Nothing grandiose but perfect for the... More

Had a 9 night stay at the Pickwick Hotel. Location of course is its best feature being a number of metres from downtown and the Westfield Mall. The room quality can vary markedly from one room to the next. I had some issues with the room heater which stopped so had to do a room change. Also the hot water... More

My husband and I stayed at the Pickwick for a full week and couldn’t have been happier. The price for such an amazing location was terrific, the bed was very comfortable, and though very small, the room was lovely. The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant unless you’re just tired and don’t... More

The Good: Cant beat the location of this hotel. It's in the city (Union square), close to pretty much everything. Nordstrom and Bloomingdale is right next door. Great restaurants nearby. The hotel has its own parking garage. The cost is $40 per night. Very clean rooms, decent internet speed. The bad: Room is small. Small bathroom, but don't let it... More
