Hotel Monaco - a Kimpton Hotel - San Francisco

Hotel was great overall...great location...neat atmosphere. However, the rooms are a bit small and there weren't enough lights in the room. Everything else was great!

One to go back to

Great location for all downtown attractions and ease of access to travel hubs. Excellent service from staff (reception & concierge). We don't usually eat in hotel restaurants but adjacent Cafe served good value and flavoursome dishes, which were innovative twists of traditional French classics using organic and local ingredients.The white truffle fries were awesome!

Wonderful

We stayed there with our 2 year old and 8 month old. They were all so nice and helpful. We had a crib waiting in the room for us. The rooms were like a fairy tale! It was like staying at home, not a Hotel. The down comforters and big oversize pillows made it so cozy. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Nice one

Comfy, we appreciated getting a quiet room as requested through Expedia. For the rate we got, it was excellent quality. Room quite dark but generally we were very happy and great location.
