The property is small but clean. The room and bathroom are petite. Large closet space. No AC so the room got stuffy. Thankfully they gave you a fan but it really wasn’t enough. The bed is okay not great. Convenient location . Walgreens close by for essentials.

Consistently refreshing

This is one of my favorite places to stay in SF. The rooms are small but that’s typical in a classic hotel. I love the attention to detail here. Beds are very comfortable. Darryl took great care of us at check-in, resolved a slight issue with professionalism and grace. Definitely will keep staying here.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel is right near the cable car pick up and a short walk to either Union Square or Chinatown. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the area was centrally located to several things we wanted to see in San Francisco. Nice stay!

The staff at the Chancellor were super friendly! Our room was always clean after we’d come back after a day of adventure. Housekeeping made it special for our daughter by keeping her stuffed toys safe as well. I would definitely recommend the Chancellor to friends and family based on the staffs friendliness and how convenient the hotel was for everything we wanted to do. Walking distance was perfect for the cable car, the cable car even stopped right outside our hotel. Perfect location and great hotel if you love the historic building vibes. Would definitely come back!

No AC, no way to open the window. The door lock is bad and can’t read the card. The elevators were next to my bedroom and I could eat the mechanism all night long. Cleaning staff is efficient and nice. Desk staff is not performant.
