Great location. Building is bit old and the lift broke down during my stay and I had to carry my luggage down the stairs. The sound proofing is also rather poor and I can hear people talking in the other rooms and luggage being dragged along the walkway outside my room. The room rate is much cheaper than other hotels in the same location, so it is still value for money overall.

Okay for the price point. Wifi didn’t work in room, but was fine in lobby. Overhead lights were controlled by a remote and turned off and on randomly, maybe due to the remotes in other rooms. Super annoying in the middle of the night. Room was clean and staff was helpful, great bar and cafe. Fine if you’re on a budget but wouldn’t stay here again

Wonderful hospitality and a spotless interior! The staff at the Tilden Hotel are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they do an amazing job maintaining the property. The rooms and lobby are kept exceptionally clean and feel like a safe, comfortable haven. The bathroom is on the smaller side, but having your own private space is still much better than certain alternative hotels in this immediate area that rely on shared bathrooms. There was a bit of noise at night—possibly coming from the bar—but it stopped a bit past midnight. It is important for travelers to know that the hotel is located in an intense urban neighborhood with a highly visible unhoused population right outside. While the street dynamics can be challenging, the hotel team works incredibly hard to ensure your stay inside is pleasant and well-kept. If you are comfortable navigating a gritty city environment, the excellent service, private amenities, and cleanliness here make it a great value.

Run down hotel that attempts to have a few modern upgrades. My room had a light/ wiring issue where the lights didn’t turn off. The bathtub was soft or mushy under your feet in the shower. The shower head was broken off the wall and at chest height. Furniture was stained. It was disgusting and I was offered a new room. The second room was maintained a bit better. Cleaning staff are wonderful however and the bedding was clean and well kept. Important to note that the Hotel is also in a terrible location. Candidly, not an area any tourists should be walking solo, or after hours. I wouldn’t stay again.

5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at the Tilden Hotel while waiting to move into our new apartment, and the experience absolutely deserves five stars. The front desk clerk who checked us in was incredibly kind and welcoming—she truly provided exceptional customer service and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our king room was extremely comfortable, clean, and exactly what we needed during this transitional time. After a long and stressful moving process, it was such a relief to stay somewhere that felt relaxing and well-run. Thank you to the staff at the Tilden Hotel for making our stay so pleasant. We truly appreciated the hospitality!

This is a very cheap place to stay and its quality is absolutely reflected in the price. It is in the heart of the tenderloin so expect open air drug use and human excrement on the front steps. Fine if you’re an adult but no place for kids. The walls are paper thin so expect to hear EVERYTHING going on in the rooms around you at all hours of the day. There is no climate control in the room so be ready to be hot at night. Rooms are clean enough. Photos are prettt missleading and everything is deffinately older than you might think from looking at the pics. What you pay is what you get with this one.

Overall, I’d rate my stay an 8/10. The room was generally clean, though there were a few stains on the carpet that could use some attention. The bed was very comfortable, the sheets were clean, and the towels were soft. The chairs in the room felt a bit worn and could probably be upgraded. The gym was solid for its size. I was pleasantly surprised to see a commercial-grade bike and rowing machine, which was a nice bonus. The only real downside was that the WiFi in the room was out during my stay. The internet was working in the lobby, so I was able to work there, but otherwise had to rely on phone data. That said, the staff were great, the hotel was quiet, and the bed made for a really comfortable sleep. Having a restaurant and café attached was also super convenient perfect for late-night food and an easy coffee and pastry in the morning. Would definitely consider staying again.

The hotel was not really as it was pictured. Significantly older and did not really give a “boutique” feel. Minor upgrades would make a major impact here. Check in was tough as I waited outside for 10 minutes. The front desk attendant was sitting on the couches with his feet up in the dark and didn’t see me trying to get in. The elevator was is very slow and small. The last night of my stay, my TV did not work. Also, they should consider giving their guests water… The daytime staff members were nice upon entering and exiting the lobby. The housekeeping staff did great with room refreshing.

A rather bad stay

Pros: - Comfortable bed, for the most part. - Staff were nice and worked to resolve issues as best they could. Cons: - The bathroom has seen better days. - Noisy. I was woken up by garbage trucks knocking out the contents of dumpsters at probably 100 dB (as heard inside the room) at 30 minutes past midnight. Also, my room had shared door to the adjoining room which was not soundproofed at all. I could hear the conversations happening in the next room clearly, and what seemed to be the husband's nasty cough was distracting at times. - There were 2 ice machines in total, on different floors. The 3rd floor ice machine did not dispense ice, and leaked water onto the ground when it tried (see picture). Though I reported this to the staff at the start of my stay, it was not fixed by the time I checked out. - The front of the side table's drawer was falling off when I checked in (see picture). I complained to the staff and they sent a handyman to fix it fairly promptly, though the smell of the resin that he used kept me out of the room for the rest of the day. - The "refrigerator" in the room is really just a cooler. It did not seem to actively cool the contents, and anything cold I put in there was close to room temperature within 12 hours. It's not suitable for food, and in my mind, false advertising.
