Everything about the hotel is delightful, from complimentary wine in the evening to the zebra and leopard pattern complimentary robes. The smallest comfort has been provided. They are pet friendly. We wanted to upgrade our room from one bed to two, but none were available the first night. For the second night, they upgraded our room without charge. more

Spent 8 glorious days in San Francisco...first time on the west coast. The city is wonderful and to top it off the hotel was the icing on the cake. Yes, room is a little small but it is very quaint and clean. The staff from Christine at the desk to Benji at the front door were all helpful and gracious.... more

I am a Kimpton fan, but the SF Monaco is definitely just a "nice" hotel. I'm not certain where all of the raving reviews come from, but from someone that travels around the US very often for business, I will likely not stay at this hotel again. Everything was adequate. But the location also left a lot to be desired.... more

Recently stayed at this hotel on our honeymoon for 3 nights, it was perfect. Alot of reveiws stated how small the rooms were, ok they werent the biggest in the world but were perfect for our stay, who spends that much time in there room when you have a wonderful city to explore? Most importantly the rooms were extremely clean,... more

We recently stayed at the Monaco for five nights whilst on a trip to California. The hotel is charming and the service and staff excellent with nothing too much trouble. We really enjoyed the evening wine receptions which gave us a chance to meet some other guests staying there. Also found the breakfasts were good but you probably need to... more

I recently stay at Hotel Monaco for 3 night for business. Overall I had a very nice stay. The hotel is in a good location. Close to Union Square and shopping. Though the area is a little bit shady and busy. There is a Walgreens across the street which is convenient. The hotel lobby is beautiful. And they provide good... more

Just completed a two night stay that was exceptional in every way. I chose the Monaco when I couldn't get a room within my budget at the Serrano, their sister Kimpton property, which is my usual favorite hotel in San Francisco. Everything from check in to check out was exactly the as I have come to expect from the Kimpton... more

Spent 5 fantastic nights at the Hotel Monaco at the start of October. Got a great deal on easyclicktravel and after reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, and a recomendation from a family friend who works with the hotel group, I decided to try it and see. Have read some of the reviews about the smallness of some of the rooms,... more

We've visited SF in September for the last 6 years and stayed at a number of Union Square hotels but the Monaco was far and way the best. The room was great - very clean and well appointed and quiet even though on the front of the hotel overlooking Geary Street. We were lucky enough to have a parlour room... more

Great location, stunning reception. Rooms very small but clean with funky decor. Bathrooms outdated though. No breakfast included which I thought was not good value for the price we paid (nearly $300 a night)! Jacuzzi locked! Don't think I will be going back! more
