    Easy to reach from the airport with the Bart train. Good starting point for tours in and out of San Francisco. Older hotel with charm. Good value for the money.

    Relatively small room and bad sound proofing (given the old building

    Best location you can wish for in a historic (and safe) area with the cable car running in front of the door. Lovely extras offered for free like coffee, popcorn and the famous bath duck. Cheap and safe parking a few minutes away. 100% recommend

    The heating in my room was on all the time, which made it quite hot. There was a thermostat, but it didn't seem to do anything. The front desk told me the heating was centrally regulated and I couldn't change it. So I opened the window to regulate the temperature, which was not ideal.

    The hotel is centrally located. Rooms are comfortable and well kept. I like that the windows can be opened; for me it avoids the feeling of being 'locked up' in a hotel room.

    Loved the Hotel, built in 1914 and apparently it use to be the tallest hotel in the city. It’s age reflex’s the rooms and bathrooms.

    TV reception wasn't reliable on the 15th floor and radiator didnt work.

    The Chancellor hotel was great and the staff helpful. We arrived at 9am after a long flight and were allowed to check in straight away as room was ready. Beds were super comfortable and room was great.

    The hotel is very old however from the price/performance point of view, it is not a huge issue. As I only used the hotel to sleep at nights, this didn’t bother me too much.

    The location is perfect, although the rooms are old, the room was clean. Staff are also lovely people.

    Incredible staff. I was allowed to check in early and check out late without a problem. When I complained about a smell in my first room, I was immediately moved to a different one. No fuss. Excellent location for wherever you want to go.

    The critique is on a high level. Nevertheless, the toilet flush is very loud and the beds are too soft. We were always rolling to the middle of the bed because it was so soft.

    Perfect location. Daily free selfmade cookies, tea and coffee in the lobby. Very nice and helpful staff. Good room size for the price we paid. All in all, perfect stay in San Francisco.

    The toilet door is broken and cannot be closed, and the room is not well ventilated

    We stayed at the hotel for three nights and the staff at the front desk were very friendly. The room is not large, but it is sufficient, ventilation is a little lacking, but the hygiene is not bad in my opinion, the bed is very soft, there are many pillows. The hotel already looks historic and has a great location, with Union Square downstairs, restaurants and shops opening at 6:30 next door, and plenty of dining options within easy reach of Chinatown.

    Wouldn’t be good with a car. There was a huge charge for garaging a car, not on site.

    The location was great, I was just in town for an overnight, so I was using a backpack. They had a good iron and board. I walked to North Beach and Chinatown for meals. It was a short walk from BART. The room was clean and the windows could be opened. I would stay again for the price, cleanliness and convince.
