The room was very clean! Yes, there were shops nearby. Laundry was coin-operated. You need to provide your own detergent and fabric softener.

2/10 Poor

This place has a mold problem. I went to the bathroom of my room and there was mold on the shower liner, ceiling, and walls of the shower in the grout. The smell alone alerts you to the mold, and the service team told me that they conducted an investigation and told me that what I was seeing wasn’t mold, but provided no insight as to what it was. It most definitely is mold and there is a moisture problem that makes the building perfect for fungal problems.

Clean room and easy to check in. Some parking along the street out front if available, room was a decent size with a mini fridge which was great, walked to most attractions in half an hour so location was good for us.

We really loved our stay at the property! It felt so homey ! We are truly satisfied! Everything’s great and even our virtual concierge was very proactive and attentive. We definitely recommend this to everyone 👍👍 until next time

Overall we found Kasa La Monarca comfortable and conveniently located. Although not a major setback, we suggest washing the windows of the room. We could hardly see out of them!

Improvement needed

Lack of prompt service. When I checked into my room, it smelled like smoke so I requested another room. But it took more than 30 minutes for them to get me a new room. Then there was the dumb room code change. When I changed my room, they had to give me a new code for my room. But they didn't give me a new code to get into the building. The first day was very chaotic so I wasn't pleased at all.

2/10 Poor

Simply Terrible! Please Read!

Terrible! Don’t book this hotel. The quality, cleanliness, management and overall vibe are simply terrible. The room had broken furniture, nasty rug with stains everywhere, drawers with food crumbs and dust, stuffy room that smells really bad and that has never been renovated. The fans in the bathroom were loud. There was no hot water. There is no front desk at the hotel. Everything is handled virtually. Customer service refused to issue a refund after I requested an early check out. This is despite the pictures I shared, all the phone conversations, text messages, emails and having to wait several hours. They refused to accommodate in any way even though I had booked a full week and simply wanted to leave.

If you’re looking for a hotel, don’t choose this property. This is nothing more than a home stay and I was highly disappointed. I really did not appreciate the deception behind labelling this as a hotel, had this been labelled as a home stay my expectations would have reflected this. There is no front desk, you are send an email with codes to open your front door and room. There is no cleaning service, one can be arranged for an additional fee. This has never been the case for any hotel I have ever stayed at, this is the whole point of staying at a hotel as opposed to a private stay. They try to hide behind the excuse that the have a virtual front desk and any questions can be answered there. I’m sorry but this is not as quick or efficient as having a real person at the front desk to talk to. There is only one towel per person provided for your entire stay, and the quality of these was terrible. So they did not dry very quickly and become quite gross very quickly. The cherry on the top was when we asked if there was a place we could store out luggge as we were required to check out at 11am but our flight was not until late at night. First we were told they did not provide these services and then were told they would do so at a fee of $50 for 3 hours or $90 for 6 hours. Never have I stayed at a ‘hotel’ that didn’t provide this service, let alone charge extra no at such an excessive rate. Would definitely not recommend.

It took 12 tries to get through the front door. I doublechecked the access code and called a local number for assistance. The person who answered tried to help me. She couldn’t override the system to unlock the door. She also tried to find someone on the premises, but no one responded. This was at the standard check in time. Someone should have been on-site. I finally was able to gain entry but this was definitely an unpleasant experience.

Buena ubicación, pero la limpieza no era muy buena (habían pelos en la alfombra y el baño) en lugares comunes la gente dejaba sucio los utensilios, la habitación olía a orina de perro y el frigobar sonaba todo el tiempo lo que lo hacia molesto para dormir.
Karina Ruíz, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

I am never the type to leave a review but with our horrible experience, it's a must. To start off, we arrived and there was no remote for our TV. We reached out to customer service and apparently there's only workers from 8am-4pm. So we had to wait 24hours for a response/resolution. The next morning, they brought a remote but it was for the wrong TV. I called in to escalate the issue and they provided a gift card so we can purchase a universal remote. I guess that was good enough UNTIL!!! We see a mouse in our room!!!! I pick up the phone and call them again and they did move us room within an hour. Also, we went down to the basement to see the kitchen & lounge and we see more mice in the kitchen!Never staying here again. Oh and not to mention, they have no parking so we had to pay $55 a day at the nearest parking garage. So yea I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. PS. The WIFI SUCKS! It's super slowwww and their TV's.

We stayed in Kasa la Monarca SF in early May 2025. The area is central and very convenient, whether you need Moscone Center or many other destinations, with restaurants and stores nearby, and the price is reasonable for the area. The building blends in with neighboring residential buildings. The staff is rarely seen and doesn't enter your room, but if you need some service, like a change of bedding, clean towels, or garbage removal, you can request it through their virtual front desk. The locks are electronic (even though the keyhole is also present). We had a mini fridge and a mini microwave in our room. The building is quiet, and we didn't hear any outside noise, but our windows overlooked the inner yard, not the street. The bedding and towels were clean, and the mattress with a memory foam top was comfortable. You can turn on/off the central heat radiator in your room at will, as some days in SF can be chilly. The shared facilities are where you can encounter the staff and greet your neighbors. The washers/dryers are coin-operated, with a change machine available. The kitchen has a large fridge (you must mark your food with room number and the leave date), electric stove, water filter/cooler, kettles, and coffee machine. There was plenty of kitchenware, towels, paper towels, soap, coffee packets (decaff only), sugar, salt, creamer, and more. You are asked to clean up after using the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and recommend the hotel.

C'est dommage de ne pas avoir de personne physique devant soi lorsqu'on rencontre un problème. Exemple, arrivée dans la soirée, le code de la chambre ne fonctionne pas. Du coup, on ne peut converser que par mail pour avoir de l'aide. Et le temps qu'une personne vous réponde (entre temps des réponses automatiques) on perd patience. Il a fallu 3h d'attente pour avoir un autre code qui fonctionne. Cela a gâché le séjour.
