Have stayed here a number of times although this is my first review of the place. Ideally located a few blocks from Union Square, the hotel is well placed for business or leisure. Kimpton (Owners) often do deals and I managed to secure a good room at a good price. Although perhaps a little small, my room was well proportioned... More

Kimpton has it figured out. I have stayed at numerous Kimpton properties around the country and they always meet or exceed expectations. SF Monaco is no exception. Close to everything you would want to do in downtown SF without having to drive. Staff is very cordial and helpful and seem to always go the extra mile. Rooms are very clean... More

I spent 7 nights at the hotel Monaco in Jan/Feb. 2012. I Flew from France to visit the city and this hotel was a perfect place to stay. The staff is really nice and helpful, they provided us with all the information we needed. The hotel lobby is very nicely decorated, with great services such as free coffee in the... More

Had a wonderful one night stay in a deluxe queen room on the 6th floor. Furnishings were fun and romantic, the bed was comfortable, and loved the amenities (free wifi and $10 minibar credit with Kimpton membership program, cucumber and orange water in the lobby, and coffee/tea service in the morning). Didn't hear any street or neighbor noise from the... More

Stayed here for 5 nights for a conference. I found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and unique. The bathroom was excellent, it looked as if it had just been renovated. It was very quite, could only hear a bit of noise from the street below but I wasn't on the Geary St.... More

Stayed second time for three night. The room was acceptable in size; excellent in design- just unique not like a chain, and very quiet considering the location. Having a sauna and fitness room in the middle of SF is also a great plus. If you chose to come with your car, do not use the valet. You can park in... More

Stayed her during a work trip with a colleague and enjoyed the overall experience. I had to blink a couple of times upon entering the room: wow,very colorful and lots of stripes. I like quirky hotels though and it was a pleasure to stay in a more unique setting. I found the bed to be a little bit too soft... More

stayed here in November 2011. Just a great overall experience. The Front Desk and other staff is just incredible. So helpful, from getting us show tickets, to making restaurant reservations to room service; they are wonderful, warm, and caring, gush, gush. Anyhow, hotel room was small but cozy and we loved the eclectic interior decor. Quality was very good and... More
