We stayed at the Embassy Hotel for approximately a month and had a genuinely positive experience. The staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, and professional, which made a long stay feel easy and comfortable. Customer service was consistently excellent, and we always felt welcomed and supported. We would happily recommend this hotel to others.

Hotel is dated older building as you would expect - great value, very clean, friendly staff - also a great location yet as u will find San Fran is still dealing with a serious homeless issue. It’s unnerving but manageable walking even at night. The homeless largely leave you alone, yet it is sad to see. And good to be aware.

We recently stayed at the Embassy Hotel in San Francisco and it was one of the best customer service experiences that we ever had. Every staff member—from the front desk to housekeeping—was genuinely kind, patient, and helpful. You can tell they take pride in treating guests well. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and our room was comfortable and quiet. For the value and the level of service we received, this hotel exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Francisco!!

The Embassy is an older hotel, but my room was clean and the staff were very friendly. Unfortunately, it was unseasonably cold in SF during my stay and the heating did not work in my room. The staff sent a technician and did offer to change my room the second evening. It was well worth the price though.

Room is more outdated- smell is musty and we had to open the windows to air out the room, bathroom is dirty, shower didn’t have cold water only hot water. TV and TV remote was not working right, only powered on and off. Room keys kept repeatedly not working and kept asking staff at the front desk to reactivate it to unlock the door to the room. Staff was nice and friendly however and helped promptly.

Loved the lobby and the datedness. Chose this hotel for a slice of 1930s and it delivered. All the basic amenities were avaliable. Nothing fancy but clean and comfortable.

The evening staff is really wonderful. His name is Bill and he’s just a really genuine nice guy. The day staff seems nice too. I just didn’t interact with them quite as much – I stayed there when I didn’t have power for four days. I would say the only downside is if you have a car it’s probably not a great place to park your car at night but if you don’t have a car, it’s pretty perfect in terms of location and it’s really cute; the rooms look like they spent a lot on maintaining the character of the building rather than just demolishing it all and starting from scratch. The bathrooms are so cool— they’re not anything fancy in terms of like special lighting or showerhead or anything, but what’s cool is that they kept the original tiling and it is beyond charming. One thing to take note of though is that they do not have microwaves or refrigerators, but I was able to stay there for $75 a night and that is a SF bargain if I’ve ever heard one!

Great staff

Great staff and hotel, just research the area a little before you go exploring, towards the civic centre is fine but the other way is definitely confronting. I really liked the staff here.
