The room was very clean and modern (i.e. large flat screen TV, Nespresso with complementary pods, very fast and free wifi, modern bathroom furnishings and temperature control). Great water pressure, no issues with noise, and a Bluestone Lane right downstairs made morning coffee extra convenient.

The location is convenient but downtown SF is not the cleanest or the most charming.

Very good location. Great value for money. Staff was very friendly.

Room amenities could be better. The toiletries could be better and there was no dental kit provided. I had to ask for it and then the staff provided it. For a property that's listed as 4 star these are some basic stuff that you expect.

When there was a restaurant that turned into a night club on Friday and Saturday night that our room shared a wall with, the staff accommodated our request to move to a quieter room. The bathroom had a nice shower with good pressure. The bed was comfortable in the 2 bed room.

Hotel Emblem is in an old building built in 1907 with one small elevator. The lobby is more of a reception desk with a bar behind it and a small seating area beyond that. There is no food available in the hotel. There is an adjoining coffee shop open for breakfast and lunch.

Superb location, cool decor, lovely quirky comfy room. Bar area was very cool. Staff lovely,friendly and kind.

We stayed 4 nights, the first two nights we were jetlagged exhausted and went to bed early. On the third night we got back to the hotel to enjoy some drinks at the gorgeous bar only to discover that it was shut to residents for a private party to celebrate the hotels Birthday. This was rather disappointing as it was the only bar and the next evening we had tickets to a sporting event so we're out all night so missed the only opportunity to go and enjoy the facilities. The coffee shop next door was nice, lovely coffee, pastries,juices and breakfast.

The staff at the front desk was really nice; they were very friendly and helped me with any questions I had. The hotel also let me check in early, but there was a fee. I was very tired after a long trip, so that was a great plus. The room was very basic. The bed was comfy.

Not a value-for-money option; pretty pricy for the actual quality. The room was very dark, and there was a nonexistent window that would not help. The heater also didn't work well; I had to ask them to send someone, which they did, and it helped, but the heating stopped working again later, and I had to keep fixing it myself. The room had no fridge either; for that price, you at least deserve a little fridge in the room, though you can keep your food items with the receptionist downstairs, where they have one. I won't stay there again.

Location was excellent, staff were always smiling and service oriented. One of them, Panda, was exceptionally kind to assist me in a printing a package return. Rooms are well designed and a good size.

If you are very picky about noise, you may still hear a bit of street noise if you are road facing.

I was very satisfied with the cleanliness and overall design of the hotel, which felt stylish and comfortable. The location in San Francisco was excellent and very convenient for exploring the city. I also appreciated the amenities and the overall atmosphere of the hotel.

The room felt a bit cold at times, but when I asked for an extra blanket, the staff was very helpful and quickly provided one, which made the stay much more comfortable. Other than that, everything was great and met my expectations.

This hotel is conveniently situated just off Union Square offering easy access to public transport. The friendly staff and excellent amenities, including lovely toiletries and a Nespresso machine, make it a great choice. The rooms are also decent sized and comfortable with charming character. Itโ€™s also connected to a fantastic coffee shop that opens at 6am. I highly recommend the Cable Car ride from Powell to Hyde but arrive early to avoid the queues.

Nice room, comfortable bed, great location

There's a water fountain on the floor, but it was disabled or dysfunctional, perhaps in an attempt to get you to buy their $10 bottle of Voss water. That is not a beatnik ethos. The curtains were paper thin so not good for blocking light from the sky or street

Staff were efficient and friendly and polite. Hotel is in good location and quiet. Beds were very comfortable and room was very clean with good facilities, necessary essentials for your stay. You can get water and ice on every floor which was a bonus.

Breakfast/cafe place attached to the hotel had poor service with unfriendly staff. Food was expensive and poor portions. Stay away.

Staff were very kind to us, and gave us an unexpected gift to celebrate our engagement. It was clean. It had all the basics, which was fine by us. While the small hotel did not have a restaurant as such, there was a small place to get breakfast to take away, plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as a 7-eleven.

The bar was quieter than I expected, and drinks expensive for a tourist who doesn't earn a US salary. It is located right beside the Tenderloin, so lot of people doing the fentanyl fold outside. There wasn't a place to eat at the hotel or a gym like there would be in a bigger hotel, but we knew this in advance.
