Absolutely love Hotel Emblem 👏 well appointed rooms, great location, and clever little perks (absolutely ask for a typewriter in the room, they will send type-written letters home!)
The bar in the hotel is also A+, my go to hotel anytime I travel to SF.
This is a wonderful boutique hotel. We loved the location, decor, and little coffee shop attached. The cute tables outside were fun to sit at and watch the city wake up. The room was quiet and spacious. This place offered everything we needed for a truly memorable vacation.
Everyone was very kind and the spaces were uniquely decorated, clean and charming.
It was perfect for my solo trip. Great location to get around San Francisco. And my room was cozy and cute.
Room was clean, front desk staff was cool and always had good suggestions. The room was also good and in good location close to a few food options/bars. Location was close to other neighborhood’s. Would stay again.
Room was clean - walking distance to everything! Staff was absolutely amazing thank you Orion and Lordes! Really enjoy the unique amenities. I look forward to staying with Emblem the next time I am visiting!

Super fun area of town, lots of great food within walkable distance. Love the quirky vibe of the hotel and fun amenities offered.
Always enjoy staying at The Emblem when in San Francisco. So close to everything and it’s a breeze to get an uber in this location. See you again in the near future.
Cool location. Friendly staff. Tons of cool little bars in the area and the walk towards china town is mostly downhill. Would recommend a lift or uber back. All in all a great place to stay for a fair price
It is always a pleasure to stay at the Hotel Emblem. They go out of their way to make you feel at home. Love the location. It is walkable to shops and restaurants. It also has an onsite bar/lounge and coffee shop open during the day. This is my favorite SF hotel. I highly recommend it.

Staff was sweet. The beds are tiny and the rooms are really small. Also, our bed was slanted backwards like you were going downhill backwards.
Beautiful comfy room & such fun decor! Staff were super nice! Location was perfect for us! This is going to be my “go to” hotel when I’m in San Francisco. 😀
Good location, easy access to Union Sq and 25 minute walk to Embarcadero. We were on 7th floor but still had a fair amount of street noise every night. Hotel has cool vibe, small format. No breakfast or coffee provided, but small shop next door. Not a fan of $75 to valet, but few options in area. Front desk was friendly and helpful.
