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.
