The Monaco is a quirky and wonderful place. The staff gives the impression that they really care about their guests. Our room was not large (queen double), but it was clean and extremely comfortable. Some negative reviews stated that 2 people could not walk in the room at the same time. My suggestion is that they really need to go... more

My wife and I stayed at the Monaco for two nights this week. From the moment we stepped into the lobby until the end of our stay we felt that this was a staff that truly cared about their guests. I have worked at Disneyland, which prides itself on having guests, not customers, but Disney employees could learn a few... more

I just had to weigh in on this hotel -- I am actually writing my review while staying in the hotel. I come to San Francisco at least 5 times a year on business, and I always stay at the Hotel Monaco. The location is perfect in that it is very near Union Square, shopping, restaurants, but also near the... more

My wife and I stayed here on vacation. The hotel is a very nice, romantic, botique hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The hotel offered wine tasting daily. The location is second to none in Union Square. more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Monaco for an anniversary weekend in SF. We were allowed to check in early, and found our room to be spacious and beautiful. The place was spotlessly clean and the bed was huge. The showers had great water pressure, which seems to be rare even in really nice hotels. The staff couldn't... more

Not nearly as good as I had hoped. The room was tiny--and yes, I know SF rooms are often small, but this was half the size of my room recently at the Omni. There was no room for a chair. I requested my pet goldfish and wasn't brought one. Good thing, as there was nowhere to put it. They make... more

This is a lovely boutique hotel and the photos you see do it justice! However, the location is quite a noisy area and overall we're not too enthralled with San Francisco at the moment for a variety of reasons. So I would very much recomment this hotel if you're looking for comfort and shopping convenience. Not good for walking to... more

Make no mistake, this is an excellent hotel. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the hotel is ideally situated. Walk out of its front doors and you are in the heart of this wonderful city. There is great shopping on the doorstep, the tram stop is around the corner and you are in easy walking distance of Chinatown, North Beach... more

Our consultants booked the Hotel Monaco for our annual conference this year. I believe their criteria was that it would need to be close to great retail, check, close to great restaurants, check and be modern while being a reflection of the city - double check. The Rooms, Each person in our group had a Queen Canopy room, small, yes,... more

Halfway through my weeklong stay at the Monaco, and I'm so impressed I am compelled to write a review. As a business traveler the free coffee and tea service in the morning, and free wine hour in the evening, are great ways to start and end the day. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and efficient. I had chocolates in my... more
