I booked the Chancellor for my first trip to San Francisco, based on the price for the location and on the trip advisor reviews. On subsequent conversations with people about where I would be staying, I discovered that 2 or 3 people I knew had previously stayed there and they raved about the hotel so I was really looking forward... more

This was actually my boyfriend's favourite hotel we stayed at for our whole 3 week holiday! To be honest, we didn't like San Francisco all that much but were thrilled with this hotel. As everyone has said, it is RIGHT in the middle of everything you need - shopping, restaturants, BART and you can walk anywhere. We ended up doing... more

My friend and I stayed here after researching heaps of hotels in San Fran. We wanted somewhere central for the four days that had some character and soul. Step up The Chancellor Hotel complete with superb service and favourable rates. After sending an enquiry about the rooms, a helpful chap called Kevin got straight back to me and offered me... more

34 years ago we stayed for 10 days at the Chancellor on our honeymoon. The property has been updated since then but it has not lost any of it's charm. I advised the General Manager it was our anniversary and the first time back, and we were greeted by a nice gift and a bottle of Sparkling wine in our... more

A fab location if you want to be in the buzz zone of San Francisco. Staff very friendly + helped play along with a 'surprise' visit. Room fine for our 3 nights + suited us fine - may be small for a longer stay. Walk everywhere - shops, restaurants, BART, taxis at the door if you want. We were on... more

Stayed one night on way to HNL via SFO. Room comfortable but smaller than anticipated. Would not try to swing a cat with a long tail in there. (Hard to get a sense of the size from on line pics) Very handy to Union Square & the cable car system. Lots of good eating down the side streets. H more

If our small rooms discourage people from swinging a cat by its tail in them, I am very glad we have small rooms. Swinging a cat by its tail is not enjoyed by the cat and a screaming animal in the room will disturb other guests. Thanks for staying with us!

I've been visiting San Francisco for around 13 years now and all but one of my stays (except the first time as I didnt know this hotel existed) have been at the Chancellor. The hotel was first recommended to me by my travel company and I have never felt the need to even consider another hotel when visiting San Francisco.... more

This was our fourth visit to San Francisco and we've previously stayed in the bigger, business hotels that you can book through Trailfinders in the UK. However, on this trip we were bringing my sister and mother - who have never been to the USA before - so decided on the Chancellor because it is more central, the positive reviews... more

I recently had my second stay at the Chancellor. I liked it very well on my first stay, and I'm happy to say that it has actually improved over time. The bedroom was recently refurbished with new furniture and a flat-screen TV. As before, both bedroom and bathroom were compact, but everything was immaculate, well functioning, comfortable and cozy. Amenities... more
