What a lovely room with a massive bed which was so comfy. This was our first hotel when we arrived in the US and it was perfect to acclimatise to a new time zone with black-out blinds and super soft bedding. Staff were very welcoming, we didn't drink in the bar but the decor of the whole place was very trendy. Loved the water fountain on the main floor of our room so we could top up our bottles and I was obsessed with the white noise speaker built into the bed side table, if this isn't for you there is a dial to turn it up, down or off completely. Location was great for all public transport including the cable car and BART. Please ignore all our belongings and stuff in the photos, I forgot to take pictures before we got comfortable.

Nothing, it was all perfect and I felt very good value for money.

This hotel has a very cool vibe. It is extremely clean and the decor is well appointed. Bed linens, pillows, mattress and towels were all top quality and very comfortable. Housekeeping was great and very friendly staff all around. I would highly recommend a stay at Hotel Emblem. The location is central for convenient access to all areas of interest. We felt safe walking in the area.

This hotel is exactly what I was looking for to stay in San Francisco - a lovely boutique hotel with every little detail well thought out. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom was modern and clean. As a solo traveller I felt very safe here too which was fundamental to an enjoyable trip. The extra touches were so lovely - the welcome drink on arrival, the free water fountain and ice at the end of the corridor to help ourselves to. The location is perfect - up the street from BART if you arrive to the city by train from the airport, and also close to the start of the tram line and Union Square. I couldn’t recommend it enough, it’s such a great base for exploring the city!

Nothing.

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this property and this is now going to be my go to hotel for San Francisco. Staff was so kind, helpful and accommodating. They literally bend over backwards for their guests. From having a typewriter delivered to your room so you can write a letter to a friend for them to mail off for you, to being brought a book cart to your room for you to check out and if you like the book, you can buy it for 10$ or maybe even just give it to you for free! They will literally bring you anything to your room if they have it. You can even borrow a bike and helmet! This hotel is so incredibly unique! Each room is just amazing with different details and cute additions, while also following their book theme throughout. I would know because I slept in two different types of rooms; both were different and a delight.

Absolutely nothing. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Location was great - very close to Union Square and downtown. Front desk staff were excellent and very responsive. We had an issue with the first room we were allocated. Room was changed immediately. I particularly want to mention Orion on Front Desk and the night staff Panda and Mark who were excellent. The other front desk staff (sorry I don't have names) were also very attentive. They went to great lengths to try and locate a pair of eye glasses that my wife thought she had mislaid in the bedroom.

The fact that the bar closed at 10pm was disappointing.

The hotel was wonderful. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The room was large and wonderfully quirky as I had hoped. Books in the room, quotes and art on the walls and ceiling, soft lighting, comfortable beds, great coffee and sangria upon arrival!. There are lots of unique items that you can borrow, tarot cards, yoga mats, ceiling lighting. dishes.....The location was better than I had expected, we enjoyed walking the neighborhood and found lots of great dining options within minutes of the hotel. We walked down Sutter street around 11pm and found it well lit, clean and felt safe. Seriously, stop looking online, stay here, book the room.

The location was perfect and close to everything. They offered valet so we were able to keep our vehicle safe and use Uber to get around. Made everything so much easier since parking is pricey in San Fran. The hotel was probably the most unique I have ever stayed in. The customer service was exceptional and the amenities were by far best we have ever been offered. My daughter was able to play with a typewriter and we requested the star light that lit up the whole room. They offer bath bombs and have a book butler or you can just check out one of their record players and relax the night away. We definitely will stay here again in the future.

There’s nothing to complain about our stay was perfect!

The hotel was very old but quaint and in great condition, totally renovated. The rooms were very comfortable, and the location was awesome. Great restaurants close by! The staff we're amazing and definitely went out of their way to help and inform us of the most interesting attractions in San Francisco. We had a fabulous time in San Francisco and especially lucked into our stay at The Emblem Hotel. We definitely would stay at The Emblem on future trips to San Francisco!

Elevator is small but still could hold two people and their luggage!

Modern, really nice aesthetic and all the extra amenities make it feel super unique. Bar really nice downstairs as well. All the staff were lovely and helpful. Great location for exploring San Francisco super close to great transport links.

Windows are quite thin and we were at the front of the property so street noise was quite loud - not a problem for us as city folk we slept fine but worth baring in mind if noise bothers your sleep!

As you enter the staff are so welcoming. The location is great for a base,close to union square,chinatown and trams to get around .but a few roads away so not so hectic which is nice.the rooms were a good size with modern decor and really comfy beds. Had everything you needed amenity wise. Would definitely recommend it as a base for san francisco. There is a handy 7/11 store across the road and a nice American diner a few doors down . And a cool bar in the hotel itself. Great choice!

Nothing at all. There is some street /car noise during the day but you are in the middle of a city, so to be expected. It was quiet at night.you could ask for an internal room if that were to bother you.but it honestly didn't impact our stay
