The property is a 2 star hotel so our expectations weren't high. We read previous reviews and they were unfair now we've stayed there. The hotel was clean and comfortable and had charm. It's not modern at all but has character which is reflected in the price. I'm not sure what other guests expected. It's main advantage was its location. Walking distance to the retail and finance district and we regularly walked to and from Fishermans Wharf and China Town. Great location for the price. I feel I need to address the' homeless and poor neighbourhood issue' raised by others, absolute nonsense, pay no attention to these snobs, they're up their own backsides. Yes SF has a real homeless issue but that's not restricted to The Monarch Hotel or even the local neighbourhood. Their homeless population are spread all over the entire city and the issue is sad rather than scary. The neighbourhood where the hotel is located is very vibrant and gritty, its not 'rough', 'scary' or 'rundown' as described in other reviews. We're from London and I've felt more intimidated walking home in my own neighborhood than at any point in SF. According to other reviews you should avoid Tenderloin which is a few blocks from The Monarch, again we had no issue at all. Overall a very good hotel for the price and a great location for a holiday. If you're not incredibly sensitive then you'll have no problem especially considering the Hilton is a short walk away and is four times the price. Hope this helps.

Die Zimmer sind sehr alt. Badezimmer URARLT. Das Personal nett, keinerlei Infrastruktur im Hotel. Die Lage des Hotels ist decentral. Ich würde dieses Hotel nicht mehr buchen, da Preis/Leistung nicht stimmt.

Hotellihan oli vain yöpymistä varten. Hinta/laatusuhde ihan ok. Sopiva matka eripuolille kaupunkia. Näin San Franciscosta sen minkä halusin.

On peut trouver mieux...

Pros: La chambre était grande
Cons: L'odeur, l'aspect de la moquette
Durant notre séjour de 12 jours c'était notre pire hôtel. Le quartier est très mal famé, avec beaucoup de clochards. Nous trouvions que l'odeur dans les chambres n'était pas agréable. Il y a un petit parking juste à côté tenu par des asiatiques très sympas et réglos mais par contre il faut payer 30$ pour une nuit.

Hintalaatusuhteeltaan kelpo hotelli

Pros: Sijainti. Vanhan ajan patina.
Cons: Hintaan nähden hotelli kelpaa sellaisenaan.
Location: Lähellä Raatihuone, Ooppera, ja van Ness avenue, yksi kaupungin valtasuonista, sadan metrin päässä.
Ystävällinen henkilökunta ja hotellin sijainti mainio. Meitä ei yhtään häirinnyt se, että kulmakunnalla oleili joitakin vähäosaisia, vaikka jotkut olivat siitä valittaneet.

Hotel in guter Lage, aber sehr sehr laut

Das Hotel befindet sich in einer super Lage. Man kann sein Auto auch dort für RELATIV wenig Geld abstellen und die Stadt mit dem Bus erkunden. Die Bushaltestelle befindet sich direkt am Hotel. Die Zimmer sind normaler Standard. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig. Man hört jeden Schritt über sich im Zimmer und alle Geräusche nebenan. Ruhiges Schlafen Fehlanzeige.

Très bon rapport qualité/prix

Pros: Emplacement
Cons: Très mauvaise réception du wifi dans la chambre. Pour ne pas perdre la connexion toutes les minutes, il fallait descendre à la réception.
Hotel pas très cher, service minimum mais acceptable dans l'optique d'y passer que les nuits et de visiter San Francisco le reste du temps. Très bon emplacement (une bonne partie du tourisme peut se faire à pieds, si on accepte de marcher jusqu'à une 30aine de minutes).
