Tilden Hotel

Rooms were old and basic. No mirrors in room. Just bathroom. Tiny uncomfortable sink. Shower clogged. Carpet dirty and uneven. No air conditioning. Very basic furniture. Not worth it. Good coffee shop and restaurant.

It is a little run down, no aircon

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. One of the noisiest hotels I've ever been in with a combination of water pipe noise and street noise kept me up all night. Rooms also do not have climate control so you're left with a choice of leaving a window open which seems outrageous given the street noise or be subject to a hot room.

It was what I expected

This hotel isn’t fancy but clean. It’s a typical old San Francisco hotel that they’ve tried to update as best they can. This gives it a nice vibe though. It was a bit overpriced, because they add on $33 resort fee and then parking is $50, so take that into consideration when you’re comparing prices. Although most hotels charge for parking. The sink in our room was very small and had a big crack in it, but everything was newly painted and linens felt clean. The valet was very nice and helpful. The location was great, near Union Square, Chinatown and about a mile from North Beach. You could walk to the ferry building as well. Probably about 2 miles to fisherman‘s wharf and Ghirardelli Square. We love to walk when we are in the city so this hotel was perfect, in a safe part of town and close enough to everything if you like to walk.

Great place to stay. Friendly sraff

Room felt stuffy as the windows are small, wifi is unusable, and there is additional surcharge of $33/night not included in the final bill. If I would have known about that surcharge, I definitely would have stayed somewhere else. I travel to SF frequently and I know I will never stay here.

Don't let the pictures fool you, these rooms are extremely small. The bathroom was similar to the size of one on a cruise ship. Also not enough lighting. No entryway lighting even though there was a full size mirror there. The walk in closet had no lighting so I couldn't see into my luggage. And there were these shelves directly over the bathroom sink making it impossible to wash my face in the sink without getting water all over the floor. Bad design and no AC.

wow, if I wanted to move back in time I would have rented a delorean and drive at 88 miles an hour. this place is just a from the 20's, oh, wait the 20's? that's retro right? imagine more like 1929, the great depression! this place is just old and rotten. the rooms have no amenities, NO AC!!!! am sorry let me correct that, windows are stuck and NO AC!!!! enjoy your sweat lodge.... the reception people were just unpleasant, no real care if you are ok or feel safe. but wait!!!! if you book in the next few months of summer you get a free apocalyptic experience where every homeless in the city of san francisco will show up to ask you for some change on your way in or out of the lobby. its pretty gnarly! people sleeping on the sidewalks, every intersection has at least 30 people staring at you or trying to ask you for somthing, not the most safe or secure surrounding for a 4 star hotel. this is not a 4 star hotel, it is nearly a 2.5 and I am being generous. I would never stay or recommend this place to anyone, anywhere, at any time, not even if it was 1929.

Staff are friendly and caring. Check in was fast and you check out at noon, which gives people time to get ready to leave.
