Bedrooms a bit small

Although the rooms are rather small, the quality of the service and amenities mroe than make up for it. Overall, a good experience.

This little hotel is a great place to stay; the room, lobby, and restaurant were all excellent. The canopy bed was a really nice touch. The only knock I had on this place is that it's in a so-so neighborhood, and there are a lot of homeless people milling about around there. I wouldn't want to walk too much at night.

The location was convenient to Union Square, great restaurants, and transportation. The room we had Queen Deluxe, was just a little too cozy. Not enough room for two people to manage in the morning with suitcases, ironing, etc. Had to jump over the bed to get around each other.

This is my favorite San Francisco hotel. The service is excellent, the rooms are spotless, very cozy comfy and beautifully decorated. There's a relaxing "livingroom" lobby area as well as a secondary lobby where, during their complementary wine hour, they also serve appetizers. The kids can enjoy popsicles and a Wii. There's complementary coffee served in the morning. They have a fabulous french restaurant adjacent to the lobby. Good choice!

This hotel has all the right moves. Very fun vibe- chic. The food in the restaurant was amazing. We tried the wood fire pizza while catching a game in the bar area then the next afternoon had a delicious breakfast in one of the most beautiful dining rooms in the city. Hotel room was comfortable and super roomy. Huge bathroom with jaccuzzi tub was a nice touch. The view out the window was of a homeless guy working the CVS door but everything inside was top rate. Close to Union Square and cable cars. Easy cab ride to North Beach.

We had to get 2 upgrades in order to get an acceptable size room. Luckily they had lots of vacancies and were willing to accomodate. I tried to book another stay but prices were doubled.

The hotel staff were very friendly, professional, and eager to be of service. The facilities and interior decor were well maintained and clean. The complimentary coffee and other perks made this a great value. The location is close to all the major venues and transportation lines. I stayed here based on the reviews and was not disappointed. I highly recommend this hotel!

Hotel Monaco is a San Franciscan gem. Very convenient location, great hotel. Can't say enough good things about it. Great restaurant, great dog policy (but don't worry, it doesn't smell or look like a dog friendly hotel), great location, amazingly comfortable bed...

Decor with a wonderful smile and old European charm - interesting mix and it works!

My son and I stayed at the Hotel Monaco - SF in May 2009 and really enjoyed the hotel. We had been travelling around the States and this was certainly the most comfortable and welcoming place we had stayed. The rooms were uniquely decorated, although a little small. The leopard print robes were novel and the offer of keeping a goldfish in your room was magical. Wine tasting between 5-6pm allowed us to meet lots of people some of whom we will keep in touch with. The hotel is perfectly located within a few minutes walk of Union Square of which the shopping is to die for. All in all we had a most enjoyable stay and would recommend to anybody travelling to SF either on business or vacation.

Enjoyed this hotel...the staff was outstanding and could'nt do enough for us. Lovely room and bathroom. Short walk to Union sq and all the shopping. Have stayed at 5 star to 2 star hotels all over the world and this was the best staff I have ever encountered! The hotel should be very proud of them! Will return!

Best hotel I have ever stayed in in SF, hands down. Staff made it a great trip!! Had a pet goldfish!! In our room!! Great location, great restaurant! Cannot wait to go back!

I could not have asked for a better place to stay while in San Fransisco. It was near everything I want to see and had some of the best food finds nearby. The rooms were cute and clean and the staff was very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Terrific hotel, staff, wine party. Loved it.

Was greeted in a very friendly manner by all the staff. Deluxe Queen Room was just about about large enough for a 3 night stay albeit storage space was very limited for clothing and bags. Free tea and coffee served daily between 9 and 10am was welcoming and there was a wine reception I think between 6 and 7pm but as we were out the whole time never experienced that so cant comment. The only negative comment I have (which I didnt mind) was that our window faced a wall so there was no view to albeit it was very quiet with the exception of a family being put next door to us with a screaming child!

Our experience at Hotel Monaco was a positive one and we would certainly stay there again!! The front desk clerks and bellmen were very customer service oriented. The French/American restaurant was also a plus although the service there lacked the food was always delicious. Location was great...just a couple blocks from the heart of Union Square.

The experience my daughter and I had was phenomenal. The staff took extra care to ensure our mother/daughter time was a special one. My daughter and I have decided to make this experience a yearly event and it will definitely include the Monaco.

I had a fabulous time at this hotel - it is beautifully decorated and maintained. It is very pet friendly - the cafe was very good and open late in the bar area. The staff was really helpful and nice.

Our 4 night stay was an outstanding experience all the way around. We wouldn't have even heard about this hotel if it had not been for the word of mouth reviews here. Excellent location, room, price, and service. The food in the attached Grande Cafe was very good as well.

I often stay at Monaco hotels; however this was was a little old. They originally had me in a handicapped room; had no problem changing the next day. Food is good. Location is great...right near Union Sq. Good thing is that Monaco's customer service is second to none. I always enjoy my stay.

I remembered staying at the Monaco as a kid years ago & wanted to stay again with my husband. Everything was just wonderful. The staff was really attentive & friendly. Everytime we left our room he/she would always asked if we needed help with directions, if our room was okay, or if they could help with anything. Our room was beautiful. The bed was delightful as was the decor of the room. It was clean & comfy. There was seating & a small table which was nice. We had free wi-fi (a must!!) and the bathroom was not the size of a closet. The free wine reception was nice although there's not enough seating for all the guests. The restaurant was spectacular for cocktails (didn't eat dinner there, but we did go each night for a couple of drinks). I had the lime caipirinia both times, it was so fab! The bartender was friendly as was pretty much every one. The location was great, right near Union Square & the Curran if you like theatre. I will definatly be returning to the Monaco.

I found the Hotel Monaco to be just what I was looking for. A very classy, convienient hotel. The staff where genuinely friendly and helpful,and the room was gorgeous. It is within walking distance of several great art galleries, pubs, and eating establishments, as well as Union Square. I would highly recomend to any one considering an upscale hotel in the city.

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco for three nights over Valentines weekend. Very freindly and helpful staff and a great place to have a romantic stay. We had booked a Monte Carlo suite and the room was big and comfortable and included a jacuzzi tub. We also enjoyed the eclectic artwork in the lobby as well as the evening hosted wine reception.

I love the Hotel Monaco! I stay there when ever I come to San Francisco and have done so for the past 10+ years. It is a unique boutique hotel, just the right size, great location, wonderful contemporary yet classic French ambiance, and wonderful service. The food is very good in both restaurants and the 5:00pm wine hour is nice to come home too after meetings or traveling. Great hotel for the money!

Very small room, no view, very expensive and inconvenient parking. Nice overall feel and interior design.

We stayed at this hotel on Valentine's night and we're very impressed. We were greeted at the door by John and had a very quick check in. Our room was ready and quite charming. There was complementary wine and chair massage in a nice cozy room just off the lobby which had a huge turn out and lots of nice travelers. The bed in our room was exremely comfortable and we were never bothered by housekeeping in the morning. As a matter of fact we never heard any of the other guests at the hotel so we got a good nights sleep. The next morning John greeted us again and held our bags while we ate breakfast at the Grand Cafe restaurant downstairs. Wouldn't recommend the restaurant - $18.00 for cold bacon, eggs and toast - overpriced and small cold portions. That's the only complaint for the whole weekend. If you're looking for a view, this is not the place to stay. Comfortable and charming best described this well kept Hotel. We will definitely stay at the Kimpton hotel chain again!

We would stay at the Hotel Monaco again, the staff is very helpful and friendly, the location is very convenient, 2 blocks from Union Square and 6 blocks from Powell street Bart station. Lots of local resturants. It was a great deal at Hotels.com's price. I would look for something less expensive if I had to pay the hotel's rate.

This is a charming, very pretty, and very comfortable hotel. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. I was completely satisfied with my stay, and the location is great.

We have never had such a pleasant hotel experience.

Probably one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. Flat screen TV in room. Complimentary wine tasting every day 5-6. Very well equipped gym. The spa is being renovated, but they normally have a sauna.

the only complaint I had was the non smoking room pillows had obviously been in a smoking room at one point, the smelled bad! The hotel is great!
