The best is the location of this hotel. I recommend.

No frills, no bathroom amenities, hardly any heat, no working phone, However, it was quiet and we had use of street parking and the bed was sleep-able.

We needed to stay on the cheap and this was the only hotel in the city that offered affordable rates without being too scary. It's a very old building that would be beautiful with a remodel, but then I'm sure it wouldn't be affordable! The room was clean, but there aren't too many extra comforts. There is no a/c in the room, and just an old wall heater. […] Most of the electrical outlets didn't work, or were too stretched out to hold the prongs of our appliances. Neighborhood outside is a little sketchy, but we walked to and from the hotel at night without any problems. It's within walking distance of lots of bars/restaurants, which is nice.

Hotel is on the edge of the Tenderloin, very rough neighborhood. Loud at night - sirens, street fights, traffic right outside the window. Cleanliness is OK, but it's very old. Found one bedbug on the wall next to the bed, staff didn't seem overly concerned or speak English very well. But fine for a few nights, close to everything.

If you are looking for a ship hotel relatively close to union square this is a good option. We just wanted to have a place where to take a shower and sleep and this was a perfect place.

I spent 5 days/4 nights in SF to take a mini-vacation, but didn't want to splurge so much on hotel expenses. At the same time, I wanted to be in the heart of Downtown, despite knowing that most (if not, all) hotels located in the Tenderloin/Union Square vicinities of San Francisco were, in fact, going to be pricey. I came across a listing for the Monarch […] through Hotels.com that was around the price I was budgeting to spend on a hotel. Front desk was accommodating and the room itself was adequately promising for what I paid for. Housekeeping was consistent in providing daily upkeep, as well as fresh towels every day. The hotel overall was quiet w/ no disturbances whatsoever. I would definitely consider staying at The Monarch again, as well as recommend it to friends/family who plan to visit SF in the future.

Overall is OK. The front desk clerk could be a little more friendlier. The wi-fi service is horrible. I have to ask the clerk to re-set the router many times during my stay.

I do not think you could get any better for the price. Hotel in general was average for star rating.

Close to down town,

Close to chinatown

WiFi was absolutely bad in the room. I had to access WiFi in the lobby.

the Monarch was an excellent value. Geary St to the east was rough but VanNess is immediately west (and "Mels" a great spot to eat next door). We like to buy the seven day bus pass (covers all cable cars and busses, but not Bart) and were able to get all over town readily from this central location. The funds we saved staying at this safe clean cozy […] hotel cover our airfare for our next trip. Usually I stay down on the Wharf...but with the buses running between the Wharf and both Van Ness and Polk, we were able to get wherever we needed (Golden Gate Park, Castro) easily.

I stayed for three nights at the Monarch. The lobby is nice, with some decent stone and comfy furniture. The elevator is old school; a little slow but has charm. This hotel was significantly less expensive than similar hotels in the area, and was in the location I needed to be. I read the reviews, and yes, there are homeless that hang out across from […] the hotel's front door. Don't walk down Geary at night alone if you are female, as it may be unsafe. However, the hotel itself is very safe, and the room was fine for what I needed. The bed was comfy, but the pillows were flat. The bathroom was clean and the shower had decent pressure. The woman at the front desk gave me an entire box of tissues when I asked for a few for my trip... very kind! Przeczytaj więcej

This hotel was very inexpensive and that makes sense given that the neighborhood is a bit dicey. It's a much older establishment, so don't expect frills. I got stuck in the elevator and the staff on duty did not seem at all surprised.

Scary, rickety elevator; front desk staff more interested in texting on his cell phone than helping me. Wouldn't stay there again.

Clean rooms, comfortable bed. Walk-in closet was twice the size of the bathroom?! With 2 exceptions, the staff was inattentive and without welcome or hospitality. I understood beforehand I would be in the Tenderloin, so the neigherbood was grubby and sad. All in all, fine for a place to crash but no warm fuzzies.

Bottom line: If you just need a cheap hotel to rest near SF area, it is a good choice. Pros: Room is clean, didn't experiences any problems during the dates that I stayed; lounge looks nice; walking distance to Japan town (if you care); only seven blocks to downtown area (if you don't mind walking); Cons: Staff is kinda lazy, so don't expect too much […] customer service; Neighborhood is the worst neighborhood in SF (according to one of my friends lives in SF); try not to book your shuttle with this hotel because they might over charge you; Heard a lot of other people compliant about their heaters and cars parking and etc while I stay; Przeczytaj więcej

I'd call it a dive. Way too much money for this sort of a place.

Check in was quick and easy, room was clean, bed was comfortable (just passed out around 5 after concert), helpful people, would come here again.

I have to admit, not the best amenities, but was certainly the least expensive I found for the area. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and made us feel welcomed.

Horrible neighborhood, particularly at night. Rooms are extremely small, and although was promised a Queen bed we had a full. No shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom and only 1 towel.

Came to SF for Nike womens marathon. There were us 3 girls staying and we ended up with only one bed because I booked late. Even though we all had to share the bed was actually comfortable and we all slept good. We ran late getting back from the race and the hotel gave us a check out reminder which was nice. The only downfall was their internet was […] really slow and nothing would work on it. Przeczytaj więcej

If you want hot water on the 6th floor maybe you should move down a couple floor. Power outlets, if you can find one that works your lucky. The beds, I think the sidewalk would be softer, and the pillows are pancake thin. Now the good part, the hotel staff couldn't have been more friendly or helpful.

The hotel should be renovated and than the quailty will improve. The staff was great. The carpet and floor overall need to be replaced and the smoking rooms need to be closed down. We had to stay in a smoking room because we arrived early the windows would not open so the stink in the room was just sitting in the room. So please make the hotel a non- […] smoking hotel.

The night desk clerk was brusque and unfriendly. The bathroom sink was loose from the wall and looked like it might fall right off. The bed was ghastly—hard and lumpy—and the pillows were somehow thin, lumpy and hard all at once. The comforter was unpleasant polyester and had several holes burned through it. The bottom sheet was not fitted, which is […] not necessarily a minus, but in this case it continually came untucked and it and the mattress pad would bunch up underneath me. Location: The neighborhood has some great places to eat and is well served by a number of bus lines. The hotel seemed to be located across the street from a homeless shelter. This was not a problem for me, but it might be for some people. Przeczytaj więcej

This hotel could definitely use an upgrade, but then it would probably no longer be affordable. On the other hand, it is clean and well-located, so that's the trade-off.

If you scared that poverty is contagious, don´t come to this neigborhood.

Clean old hotel with good free coffee in lobby. It has one ancient elevator and it is a drag when you have to hike up the the 6th floor when it is broke down. Sketchy neighborhood.

Rooms were pretty clean. Morning staff was helpful, evening staff not very bright and not helpful. Rooms were cleaned daily. The hotel is 15-20 mins walking from the city center. Geary road is ok to walk; not too safe, but ok. Full of nice bars, for rock tastes. Little breakfast places too. Parallel streets are full of homeless people. There is a homeless […] center or something nearby as well. I would recommend using a taxi late at night. Przeczytaj więcej

Monarch Hotel reminds me of boutique hotel in Italy. Reasonably priced. It has a nice lobby with attentive staff. All the rooms are located up an elevator and with no outside access except through lobby. I felt very secure as a woman traveling alone. Room was clean and well equipped. Hotel was centrally located and walking distance to downtown, union […] square, att park. Long term parking available at hotel or next door. I would definitely stay there again. Przeczytaj więcej

overall was a nice place room a little small but clean and nice view, only problem was remote for tv was not working i called to tell them and they told that a have to take down myself and after 3 times finely i got one that did work

In as much as I rated the hotel average, I can say that we were walking distance of two restaurants that we considered very good. The front desk was very accommodating and having coffee service was a plus. The city needs to put more money in developing the immediate area.

I take ratings with a grain of salt and I am an experienced traveler so I am usually not surprised by much. I have to say that some of the reviews posted about this place must come from very picky and unreasonable travelers. The hotel is very centrally located with easy access to all forms of public transit including cable car stop a few blocks away […] (buy a Muni Pass at the airport when you land it is the best value in town). The Tenderloin section of town does have it's fair share of street people but they are not agressive and just have to be taken as "local color". Really if you visit any large city you will get some of this unless you want to stay at the Fairmont or Mark Hopkins for triple what I paid per night. The hotel room was great- clean, no bugs, not noisy (we were on the top floor at the back so it was very quiet. The front desk staff were pleasant but really I did not have much need of their help. If you go to visit somewhere you really need to be able to find your own solutions to stuff- do reasearch online before you go and carry a smart phone. Other than that I have nothing bad to say for the price I paid for a three night stay in one of the most eclectic and fascinating cities in the world. Relax and have a good time and leave your picky attitudes at home and you will have plenty of fun. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Przeczytaj więcej

Horrible hotel for the cost.

Had some mixed reviews but based on the price and location decided to give it a shot. Room was good size for 2 queen beds. Location was great for all things downtown and tons of cabs nearby. One major complaint was there wasn't a "DON'T DISTURB" sign, but they chose not to make up my room the last night I stayed. Other than that, I found the Monarch […] to be a good value hotel in San Francisco. Przeczytaj więcej

Older hotel, well maintained in ventage condition. Clean and comfortable.
