We absolutely love staying at The Chancellor! This is our hotel of choice when visiting SF. The location is very convenient, and the hotel itself is lovely. It is charming with beautiful architecture and the rooms have everything you need. Everything is clean and the staff is extremely friendly. My favorite part is the amenities! Complimentary cookies, coffee, and fruit in the lobby and candy and a cute rubber duck in the room. They also have different pillows you can order to make your stay even more cozy. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

I've stayed here a number of times whilst attending a conference at the Moscone Centre. Staff are friendly and it is a very convenient location, less than 10 minutes walk from the nearest BART station. Area is safe. WiFi works well. Constant coffee in reception saves me a lot of money and there are also free cookies and a microwave. Rooms have a small fridge.

Great place and great location!

Very cute boutique hotel. The room was updated and very clean. Lots of charm and pretty furnishings. Nice onsite full bar. I’m a bit claustrophobic though and the elevators are very small. I should have asked for a lower floor. :) would definitely recommend and would go again for sure
