Really, anyone looking for a great hotel, well located, with rooms and adequate infrastructure, you will find the Chancellor. The price was negotiated diretamento with the hotel manager, who made a "small difference". While not offering breakfast offer is not lacking. Do not think that this is an old hotel. It is very well furnished and clean. We were happy... More

Just spent weekend in SF attending conference. Recommended by friend about quality of rooms exceeded expectations. Location in proximity to Moscone Convention Center, public transportation, great restaurants, and shopping made this an excellent choice at a reasonable cost.

Spent June 6th and 7th at this hotel as was very pleased with it. The staff were extremely friendly, the room was perfect, the location was next to union square and transportation right outside the door. Restaurants including sears diner, lori's and the Cheesecake Factory steps away. We did take a front facing room and noise was never a problem... More

Return trip to the Chancellor was just as great as my first stay there last July. You really can't beat the location, and the value is unparalleled. This time around, we had room 1406, which is a corner room on the next-to-highest floor. Really loved the room, which was quiet and had everything we needed. Complimentary WiFi, a nice mini-fridge,... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms were quirky (not dated just not ultra modern)and always clean, had all the necessities. Bathroom wasnt luxurious but absolutely fine for the money paid. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Fan worked well and in our opinion air con not needed as not hot enough!! Didn't get chance to eat there but daily... More

Stayed here for a few nights early May as part of our honeymoon. A small, family run hotel in a fantastic location, couldn't wish for a more central position in the heart of the shopping district. There is also a tram stop across the road (but be warned, pretty expensive at 6 dollars per person for a short journey! More... More

I would like to offer a few counter-points to their comments. Not great, but not too bad is what a 3 star hotel is. If great is a 5 star hotel and bad is the other end of the spectrum, then we are right in the middle at 3 stars. If you want a great hotel, pay more and go... More

A very well positioned hotel with warm & helpful staff. Room coffee maker was superb. Many places to purchase meals nearby and a great coffee in Union Square. Walk to Market Square at the bottom of Powell to find excellent transport and stores of all kinds. Use the Lori's Share Shuttle from airport to keep costs down to $17 per... More

This is a nicely renovated old hotel with no A/C. I stayed in room 504, which had no view, but otherwise was well-appointed. The temperature of the room was perfect this early week of June. Noise was not a problem, despite being on such a low floor. I stayed alone in this one king bed room. Some may consider it... More

This hotel has it all. Great location at Union Square, excellent service all around (desk, tour desk, restaurant staff, general staff) and "feels like home". Restaurant food is excellent (we had breakfast only) and restaurant staff is EXCELLENT. I cannot say enough good about this hotel. Definitely added to my first trip to San Francisco. Rooms are smallish, but more... More

Great location at union square but very small rooms and bathrooms. It's ok for a 2 nights stay but not more. Had a hard time to find space for our luggage in the room. Was able to open the fridge while in bed. If you are tall it will be hard for you to take a shower because of Ask... More
