We loved our time at Hotel Emblem, fantastic property!! The staff was wonderful and the bar has a very cool vibe and we really enjoyed talking with the bartender, who was very nice and personable. Comfy bed, super clean and great location. Highly recommend!!

Hipster friendly facelift of an old hotel in downtown. Clean and quiet on the 4th floor. The room was nice and didn’t feel crammed like some other downtown hotel rooms. Highly recommend parking at a garage less than a block away for about 40/night.

This property was fantastic. Had charm. Was well cared for. Great staff. We were upgraded to a king bed upon arrival and offered sangria. The location is a 10/10, and the coffee shop downstairs was perfect to not have to walk anywhere first thing in the morning.

Spent 4 nights here over the summer with my son. Loved the hotel (quaint and quirky). Good location, where we could walk to a lot of things within 20 min or so, and various forms of transportation were nearby too. Nice little lobby/bar area to hang out in at night, clean rooms... and it really wasn't that expensive. If I come back to SF, would definitely stay here again.

Great price for the area and the room was very modern and clean.

Spacious room. A bit dated. Excellent water pressure and temperature in shower. Water dispensers on each floor not working. Really great, friendly staff, thank you!

Staff was polite and courteous. Complimentary sangria upon checking in was nice. Hotel itself was in good condition. Important parts of the room were clean: the sheets/bedding and the bath towels. The floor could have used a better vacuuming as there were visible crumbs or something at the foot of the bed, and there were greasy handprints on the exterior of the wardrobe and the inside of the bathroom door. It wasn't a deal-breaker so we didn't mention it (we were only there for a day and a half/two nights). It was within walking distance of The Dragon Gate and Union Square. I can't speak to public transit as we took Waymo or walked everywhere (walked to the SF Ferry Terminal and it took about 20 minutes). Overall a good deal and good location, room could have just had a better cleaning.

Characterful hotel with stylish, quirky decor and good sized rooms. Great cocktail lounge. Would recommend!

The service was exceptional. We travelled with a larger group and they ensured we were all on the same floor. Everyone was friendly and the welcome sangria was delicious.

The hotel was stylish and in a fantastic location. The staff were welcoming and our room was lovely. Unfortunately, the shower was disappointing; the water pressure was weak and it didn't function properly.

Great location, friendly and helpful staff, fun decor!
