The hotel itself is OK. Rooms are a bit small but perfectly adequate. It would have been nice to have an easy chair in the room. However, even the rooms on the side are subject to street noise. The worst thing, however, was a persistent intermittent humming noise from the heating/air conditioning. You could hear it all through the hotel,... More

Dear Don: Thank you for choosing the Baldwin hotel, we appreciate your business. We'd like to thank you for your comment as it's important for us to listen, correct, and improve.

We stayed here at the beginning of our visit to San Francisco before we went off on our travels. We then came back for a couple of night before flying home. The staff are very friendly, the rooms very clean and tidy and a new towel animal everyday on our bed, great touch. Close to everything, would stay here again... More

Not by any means a fancy hotel, but it's perfectly acceptable. The location is terrific, you step out into central San Francisco. Convenient very local transport links. Friendly helpful staff. Would have no hesitation about using this hotel again.

A really good value hotel at the heart of San Francisco. The location is just perfect, a few steps from the Chinatown gateway and a few blocks from Market street where all the happenings are. The hotel room that we stayed in was newly renovated, very clean bathroom and closet. The size of the room is not vegas-like-big but bigger... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Baldwin Hotel on our first visit to San Francisco. The location is excellent, within walking distance to the BART, bus stops, Chinatown, restaurants, and all of the shopping in Union Square. Our room was on the 5th floor, facing the street, which we really liked. At night on the weekend with... More

I stayed at the Baldwin Hotel during the first leg of my vacation to the West Coast in May. The hotel was easy to find and located in a good part of town with the entrance to Chinatown just up the street. I was very impressed with the amount of time it took for check-in and the friendliness of the... More

Stayed one night pre-cruise at this property and would definitely consider longer stay to take in sights of San Francisco, located right at "Dragon gate" chinatown and handy to transport to take in other attractions.Rooms are clean, comfortable and staff are friendly and helpful not for those who crave luxury but well worth the price.

Older hotel but quality service and very good quality rooms for cost - real value. Great location - easy access to all main attrations and shopping. Fisherman's Wharf an easy walk and cable cars close. BART system just down the road. Choose rooms with a 1 or 7 - larger. Would highly recommend.

There is so much to do in SF that decent accommodations at a good price is what I choose. According to the housekeeping, engineer and desk personnel, this hotel has been refurbished quite recently. I stayed in this hotel in November and was quite satisfied. Clean sheets, clean towels and adequate toiletries gives one the necessary essentials. On the 9th... More
