everything was very cutesy, boutique style The only thing I wish they would’ve had was more affordable parking. I know it’s not necessarily their fault, but they were great in pointing us to some cheaper parking down the road.

We loved this place! They came in and cleaned every morning without having to ask. And the whole place was always very clean. Staff were friendly and we really enjoyed the whole experience. Our room had a built in noise machine on the desk too which was handy! Great location too! 10/10 will be back.

The hotel has a charming, old San Francisco feel, and I appreciated the unique decor, especially the literary quotes and thoughtful design touches throughout the rooms. The staff was also very kind and accommodating, which I appreciated. However, the overall comfort left a lot to be desired. The hotel is definitely dated, the elevator is slow, the walls are extremely thin, and the beds aren’t particularly comfortable. You can hear conversations, hallway noise, and doors banging, which makes it difficult to relax. I initially had a room in a quieter area of the hotel, but the window faced a wall, so I requested a room with a city view. While the new room on the sixth floor had a much better view, it unfortunately had a noticeable urine-like odor when I first entered. I could also smell food cooking and coffee brewing from the café connected to the hotel. Overall, I can appreciate the hotel’s character and understand its relatively affordable pricing, especially for San Francisco. However, I personally prefer the comfort, soundproofing, and amenities of a more modern hotel. While the staff was lovely, I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

I think this is my 4th consecutive year staying at the Emblem. The hotel is always funky, comfortable, well located, and I always ask and get a quiet room where I can rest even in this part of the city. Gitanjali who leads the front desk is always helpful. This time she and her team helped me with A LOT of packages I had delivered and they were through and kind. The Bluestone coffee on premise always has great breakfast, smoothies and coffee. Cocktails at the Pacific Cocktail Haven nextdoor are always the best. Looking forward to returning.

Lage ist gut, alles super erreichbar auch zu Fuß. Hotel auch von Restaurants, Bars und Diners umgeben sowie ein 7 eleven gegenüber. Zimmer Recht klein aber sauber. Klima hingegen sehr laut und selbst wenn sie aus ist noch knackenden Geräusche macht als würde sie gleich von der Wand fallen. Badezimmer Tür war defekt und ging stets von alleine zu Kabel von Lampen oder Telefon lagen im Raum herum ohne Kabelschiene oder versteckt zu sein. Teppich Boden müsste auch erneuert werden. Rezeption zwar stets besetzt aber gab nie einen guten Morgen oder hallo. Insgesamt okay hier aber nichts besonderes. Zum schlafen passt es, preislich für dann Francisco was auch okay.

just a secret gem in San Fran!! We booked it for my friends Bach, and this was exactly her vibe. The entrance is beautiful, and check in was so smooth. The amenities were all included, there’s a lot!!! I requested a typewriter for the room! They also give us envelopes and stamps to send out the letters! So cute Hotel was cute and cozy. Def an older hotel. But it came with a BUILT IN WHITE NOISE MACHINE. Never in my life have I seen that. 100/10 for that. I would say the bluestone cafe wasn’t the best. Coffee was milky and it was expensive. But there’s a lot of cafes in San Fran to go to instead. Pretty walkable to some good restaurants! Coming from a group of 4 women that walked to dinner at 9pm (5 min walk) it was great! We then took a waymo back since there was a heavy homelessness presence after walking a little further after dinner. Would honestly come back!
