Despite the poor reviews I read recently about the hotel, my experience was very good; it was relatively clean and very cozy, and the staff were very attentive. It is true that soundproofing is an issue, but overall I’d give it a 3 -4, fair for the price

This property is clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. Staff are friendly and helpful. I also liked that stairs are a carpeted option to the elevator, rather than just an emergency exit stairwell.

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

The Tilden is a good place to stay, nice rooms and good location. The only problem is that they had loud music playing one night, from 10 pm until after 2 am and again the next morning. Not sure why, but it made what was an otherwise pleasant stay quite the opposite.

Liked: Staff & service
Overall it wasn't THAT bad for a quick low cost option. However, it wasn't as close to Union Square as I thought and def some scary folks hanging out side at night in the area (but thats more of an SF thing now a days). Staff was friendly and room itself was clean. hallways and walls looked dated but again, this is what I paid for.

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.

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!

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.
