I had a wonderful stay at The Chancellor Hotel. From my first interaction with Daniel at the front dest, the bellman helping me with our luggage, and cocktails at the bar with our fabulous bartender, Alicia. The room was clean and comfortable and the property was convenient to everything we chose to do. I highly recommend this outstanding hotel. (See my photos for the only things I pilfered.) 😀 I should also add the the parking is very close to the hotel and it’s a safe and secure garage.
I didn’t have the opportunity to use the bath salts in the gorgeous deep bathtub so I brought them home.
The Chancellor Hotel is over 100 years old and I loved the look of their paper coasters. So I snagged 3 of them. Don’t tell.

The room wasn’t thrilling, but it did the trick. The front desk staff was dismissive and did nothing to go beyond the bare minimum. It’s a great central location and you can get a direct view of union square through the fire escape, but

Rooms a little small but adequate. Bed linens crisp and clean, good hot water supply. Beds comfy. TV dish did not connect, but we could login to our personal Netflix account. Would go back, as it’s central, there is no restaurant but breakfast available at Sears next door.

This is a charming, old-fashioned hotel in a perfect location. My room had a view of the Union Square Christmas lights. It is not slick or modern: think of it as European and you will see its charms. The room was comfortable with everything you need. They warn you in advance that there's no air conditioning but most of the time in SF you don't need it, and there's a ceiling fan and the windows can be opened. There is always coffee and cookies available in the lobby and the tiny bar was popular, thanks to a two-for-one coupon for guests. The neighborhood seems to be making a comeback after some rough years. It was a lot cleaner than I remembered, and I went to two great restaurants that were new to the area.

Clean room, great location, tremendous value, great employees. It feels like a family-run operation, not some big corporate feeling. I judge hotels also how they handle problems and my room was not receiving very strong Wifi so they gave me some options, had me check wifi coverage near a room being cleaned and let me move to that room and wifi was very fast. I was there 4 nights and I am very satisfied.
