see all hotels in San Francisco"Great Hotel"
Location is perfect. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are nice but small.
"Great Hotel"
Excellent location, very clean rooms, nice restaurant, free cookies and apples every day; the only drawback was the front desk service was a little dodgey. But overall it was a great stay!
"Great Hotel in an Outstanding location"
I loved the hotel. Great location, you can walk to everything. I took the BART in from the airport and never had to worry about transportation. Only a ten minute walk from the station to the hotel. Great staff and the room was better then expected. My only concern would be staying here during the warmer months since there was no AC. The windows opened […] and there was a ceiling fan. I would definately stay here again in the cooler months. Read more

"Great location!"
The staff was very nice and helpful.
"Great local, helpful staff."
I stayed one night at the Chancellor Hotel on Union Square and found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. I have been to San Francisco many times before and knew what to expect in terms of room size. Yes, the room was small, but that is to be expected with most older building in this city. The location, however, really can't be beat. If you are […] planning a short stay or weekend trip, this is a great place to stay. Read more
"Best bargain in Union Square"
I stay at the Chancellor whenever I get to SF (if it's available). It truly is Union Square's best kept secret--right on the cable car line, close to buses which take you to Chinatown and North Beach, within steps of the finest shopping SF has to offer, and within walking distance of amazing restaurants and theaters. The personnel there have been there […] for years--they remember you and welcome you by name. There is complimentary coffee, tea, water, cookies and apples 24/7. The rooms are a tad small--but typical for hotel rooms of classic hotels in SF. I love this hotel! Read more
"great hotel, great price and fantastic location"
We just finished a 5 night stay a the Chancellor Hotel. The room was great, location just opposite Union Square was fantastic. Cable car runs up and down powell street frequently, and you catch a bus almost anywhere within 2 minutes from the hotel. From airport catch the BART, as the Powell street station is a short walk from hotel. Overall the Chancellor […] Hotel for a city hotel is perfect. Rooms are relatively quiet, smallish but a great walk in robe which is good for your suitcases. We would stay again if in Sanfrancisco . WELL DONE CHANCELLOR HOTEL Read more
"Chancellor Hotel on Union Square"
Great location. Safe. Transportation easy with MUNI pass can get anywhere. Hotel clean and well maintained, and friendly.
"Good service, good location, good food"
The only complaint was the cold room – but that's a problem with overall city temperature, and most of the hotels don't have central heating. There was a small heater though, so this could be fixed somehow.
"Great Location"
Great Location. In the heart of Union Square. Easy Access to transportation. Great Staff; Very knowledgeable of restaurants/bars in surrounding area. Only negative-we were on the second floor and early morning street noise was heard in our room.
"Great Stay. In the heart of San Fran"
I'm a frequent traveler to San Francisco and every time I visit for work or leisure, I always stay here! The staff is helpful and the rooms and hotel are always clean and quiet! Members of the staff have worked at this hotel for decades, which helps explain why they are all professional and really care about the quality of your stay. It is a couple […] buildings down from Union Square and close to the trolley car stops. Prefect location! Read more

"J from Maryland"
The Chancellor Hotel was on of the best hotels I've ever stayed. It was better than expected. When I'm ready to book a hotel, I read the reviews and so forth. I'm glad I stayed at the Chancellor. Excellent location at Union Square.
"Chancellor Hotel In San Francisco...on Union SQ!!!"
Small hotel..intimate...two terrific women at front desk..mever a wait for service. They knew my name after 24 hrs. Union Sq is half a block away, very visible from the hotel. Rooms immaculate. great views. We visit a son in San Francisco and we'll ALWAYS stay at the Chancellor in our frequent visits.
"Price, service, and convenience: great!"
-Check-in & out was the easiest ever - Hotel has charm - Cute little rubber ducky in the bathroom: nice touch - Decent toiletries - Building must be old; some minor eyesores as far as moldings and things like that. Nothing major. - NO complaints whatsoever as far as service. Quite the contrary. - Small room, but really cozy. Bag caddy in the closet. - […] Can't beat having a place to park the car at all times (i chose the rate that included parking). - AWESOME location half a block from union square. Read more

"Good location."
It is very close to the Union Square, heart of SF. Building was very old but very clean. I guess interior was newly renovated. People in the hotel was very kind. One bad thing was breakfast...but you have many option for breakfast around.
"union square view/ hop on cable car at the corner"
staff was nice we arrived early so we went to the hotel to see if they would hold our bags but before we could ask they told us the room was ready this was at 12 three hours before check-in. free cookies coffee and apples in lobby was a nice touch. room was clean i liked the decor nice view of cable car and union square from the fire escape outside […] our window. pillows were very comfortable and they gave the option of ordering about 6 other pillows for free like real down or the audio pillow. i will be staying here again Read more
"Chancellor Hotel- a great Union Square spot!"
This hotel was right off of Union Square, walking distance to all of the downtown shopping, dinning and attractions. It was a nice, eclectic little spot. Our room was very clean, the staff friendly. Great alternative to staying in one of the high priced mega chain hotels.
"Mid week stay at the Chancellor Hotel"
Great people on staff! Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Had great communication with Kevin on packages arriving before I checked in so there were zero mess-ups. You need a larger bar area because the hotel is a nice place to relax before and after each day. Nice and cozy. Only complaint I and the others in my party mentioned was the height […] of the shower heads. Get some of the elevated extensions in there so us tall people don't need to hunch over to shower. A super stay. I'll be back. Read more

"Chancellor is a great hotel!"
We were very, very pleased with our stay at the Chancellor! Would recommend this to anyone planning to visit SF. The hotel was very cozy, clean and great service. The location was right in Union Square so it was very convenient for walking everywhere. Even the cablecar turnaround is very close. For anyone wanting to stay in the city this is a great […] choice!

"Chancellor Hotel on Union Square - great location"
Location was great, hotel was clean, staff was incredibly nice. Beds were tiny, but we had twin beds so that might not be an issue for couples.
The Chancellor is a small but well-appointed hotel in a prime location near Union Square. You are welcomed with cookies and apples upon your arrival. The rooms are small but very comfortable. The staff is courteous and very helpful. Its location is one of the best...you can walk to everything.

"Thought I could handle the small size but couldn't"
I read the reviews on this place before coming and thought the small size was no big deal (I've stayed in NYC a few times and it's also notorious for small rooms). Also, I'm the type of person who often stays in Motel 6 to save a buck. But, it's a really small room! We had double occupancy. Our room had 2 twin beds about 2 ft apart. If you have bed […] by window, you are either squished on one side b/c the other bed is so close or squished on window side b/c there's a chair and table too close. The other bed is almost against the room wall so no space. They wasted a ton of space on a walk-in closet. You could fit another twin bed in there - the closet was so big. My friend and I bumped into each other many times. The bed was also very uncomfortable. I think Motel 6 has a better mattress. Location is really good - right in Union Square and a trolley comes by regularly. Also very close to Chinatown. For location, great but this is a one night hotel at best. Read more
"Perfect for our stay"
Perfect location for our short stay. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Short walks to shopping, BART, restaurants and cabs. Love to stand out front and watch the daily activity plus the cable cars.

"For the right price, it's fine"
Like many hotels in downtown/Union Square area of San Francisco, the Chancellor has very small, dark rooms with some older fixtures. They are perfectly comfortable, though, with good beds. I recall the bathroom being slightly rundown, but acceptable. The lobby staff were very welcoming and the lobby has a fun, bustling environment. The location can't […] be beat--it's close to the Powell BART station, Union Square, and all the shops. Read more

"Satisfied, but would not return"
I stayed at this hotel at the recommendation of a colleague. I enjoy hotels with character, but the rooms I were put in had extremely small bathrooms (with very limited counter space. The first room I was placed in had a fire door that opened into my door, making the entryway not large enough and the second room (since I asked to be moved) had open […] windows onto a fire escape. Besides that, the location was great and the staff were very willing to help. I would recommend the hotel solely on that, but I wouldn't stay there again. Read more
"Great place however avoid inside rooms"
We’ve stayed at the Chancellor at least 10 times in the last 5 years. It’s a great place and much nicer than the other 3 star hotels in Union Square. We’ve always been satisfied both with the service and condition of the hotel, however this time we stayed in Room 304. It was an inside room with a window that opened to a concrete wall 10 feet away. We […] felt like we were living in a tunnel. Avoid the inside rooms, and lower floors can be a little noisy. Other than that, great family owned place. Read more

"Excellent value and service with great location"
This is a friendly small hotel with excellent service just off Union Square. It is not as updated or chic as some of its newly renovated, much costlier neighbors but it is very clean and attractive and extremely well located. It was our third stay and we will be back...highly recommended.
"Noisy environment"
Very noisy work in next door building. We got moved from 9th floor to 14th floor within minutes. Got upgraded to a suite in the process. Very professional handling of the situation.
"to much money"
This place is a dump the location is good but thats about it the rooms must of been made for midgets
"chancellor hotel"
We were in town for new years and wanted some place centrally located to bart, muni, shopping and restaurants. We lived in SF so we know our way around and I figured this was as good as it was going to get. The hotel and our room were clean and staff was pleasant. If you're more interested in the city than your hotel room than this is a good place. […] Next time I'll stay south of market so as not to deal with the powell crowds but overall not a bad experience at all. Read more

Had two different rooms-8th floor at the back very quiet and comfortable, 11th floor room at the front was a bit noisier and too hot. The staff was great and overall the hotel was extremely pleasant and convenient.
On check in, was given a room in the front of hotel. I then requested a quieter room (in the back of the hotel). They gave me a quiet room, but I had to wait 1 hour, as room wasn't ready. Overall, a great stay, as location convenient for tourists, beds were comfortable. Cons: no refrigerator or microwave in room, no breakfast included, still somewhat […] noisy from street noise, but they provided a white noise machine on request. Lobby had apples, coffee/tea and cookies, which was nice. Also there was a concierge in lobby that was very helpful with muni system (sold passes too), and we were able to store bags until our plane left (for a few hours). We didn't have a car, but if we did, they charge $29/day for self parking and more for valet parking. Read more
"Great Location, great little hotel, loud area"
I would stay here again and have no issues, but for those of you who wake up easily from loud exterior noises this is not a good choice. Being as close to union square as this is makes the outside noise level very high. Combine that with cable cars, taxis, and trucks and it makes for a loud environment. Other than the noise levels this hotel is in the […] best possible location, directly across from Saks 5th and the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Within 5 minutes walk to anything. Read more
"Very conveniently located"
The hotel is within working distance to good dinning, shopping area and transport. Staff are very courteous and helpful especially people at Tour Desk. Offer 24 hour free HotTea, Coffee and biscuit at Lobby which is fantastic for cold weather or if you are leaving early morning when the restaurants are not open yet.
"Chancellor Hotel Union Square"
Good location Service staff was good at suggesting restaurants.
"Chancellor Hotel Union Square SF"
2 night stay, 15th floor. Conveniently located, 10 seconds from Union Square and the main shopping venues. Room was clean and tidy, house-keeping was accommodating. Luques restaurant in the lobby makes an excellent eggs benedict.
"Chancellor on Union Square"
Great location, great pice. Overall the hotel was nice and I would recommend this to others.....
