What a great hotel! Before we travelled I e-mailed the manager (Wes Tyler) with a request and also mentioned that we were there for a special occasion. He organised my request and also arranged a surprise gift for us! Where else would you get service like that? From the time we arrived we felt welcome and the staff were very... more

This hotel was perfect for us. We stayed 4 nights with our two teenagers on 15th floor. The location, the service, the value and the atmosphere were just perfect. We didn't need air con and loved hearing the city wake up and go to sleep. Even though you are right next to Union Square we did not find it noisy.... more

In early June of this year my wife and I stayed at the Chancellor Hotel, Union Square, San Fran. Our stay was quite comfortable notwithstanding that the room was a little "tight" compared with other hotels that we had been staying at during our holidays in Canada and the USA. This minor issue was more than compensated for by the... more

Just return from a 2 weeks stay in San Francisco and Canada.We stayed 3 nights in SF, thank you Les Tyler from the Chancellor for the great hotel rate and all the advices about the city.

The Chancellor Hotel is the best in San Francisco! I stayed there for 3 days at the end of June, and absolutely loved it! The location is perfect, right on Union Square with great transport links to everywhere else in the city. We had the corner room on the 13th floor, so I am not sure if it was a... more

We started our 2 week tour of California at the Chancellor. Obtained a good rate on the web site and was very impressed from the start. I was travelling with 2 teenage kids and had asked for adjoining rooms, 1 double and 2 singles. We got it, no problems. Yes the rooms are smaller than the average American hotel but... more

Wes Tyler, General Manager

That's great! I am very glad these folks made the right the choice. We really would rather have an empty room than a room occupied by someone that is not happy. The money is not worth it. I am sorry about the view, but I agree, you are not here to look out the window. You are here to be...

This hotel is just excellent!! Location is perfect, the rooms were nice and clean. And the hotel staff is so friendly and helpful. I was really impressed about how service minded they were! My friends and I stayed for 4 nights and had nothing to complain about. I will definately book Chancellor for my next stay in SF!:) more

A pretty good location but hotel is quite small - a narrow yet tall building with no real view except from a corner of Union Sq. The room was quite small but it was a nice, bright & clean. The breakfast was quite good. Often the problem in SF hotels is the parking and we had to not only unload... more

Management response from
Wes Tyler, General Manager

i really don't understand why we received a mediocre rating from these folks. Was it about the room size? It was small when they booked it and it was small when they stayed. They got exactly what they booked. I am glad they recognized the rooms were nice, bright and clean, though. Was it about the parking? We have valet...

Returned to the Chancellor, bringing friends this time, so 'repeat business' says it all really. Delighted with the tasteful refurbishments since our first visit. Same with the friendly service by ALL staff at the hotel. The location ensures you are a tourist 'in the thick of it' but the management style makes sure you are treated as a valued guest.... more

We had a great 3 days at this hotel at the start of our holiday. When we checked in (very efficient) we were told we had the best room - we did!! Top floor with a view of Union Square. The room was excellent, the staff were so friendly and helpful and nothing was any trouble. Coffee and cookies on... more
