Top Kensington Hotel Reviews

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, centrally located, and great staff."

Hyatt Place San Francisco Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay was due to a surgery the next morning at UCSF and we needed to check out at 5:00 am the following morning. It so happened that we arrived at the hotel just as a SF ball game was ending. Traffic and parking was a nightmare. I checked in while my husband circled the block looking for parking. Hotel staff was really accommodating and allowed us to park in their loading zone until traffic cleared. They have a parking garage nearby, but it doesn’t open in the mornings as early as we needed to check out. We eventually found a parking spot on the street and all was well. Room and staff were great, but I advise to check out the parking situation if that could be a potential problem."
