Kimpton Hotel Monaco, Philadelphia

Location, funky fun decor, easy check in and attached restaurant. Check out at 12pm is a plus.

Amenities in the room have been moved downstairs e.g. mini bar and coffee. Please put coffee and coffee maker back in the rooms. Valet services can’t drive manual transmissions, parking is not onsite but down the block in separate garage.

Great location, friendly employees. We had a great breakfast, but it would have been nice if it had been complimentary, also the parking was very expensive.

No microwave in room, shower was backed up

Ver colorful and inviting. Very friendly staff and super central

Shower curtain in a room. It was a bit shabby at the edges in the bathroom

Cool location

View from room awful

Nice clean. Beautiful facility

No microwave

One of the best locations you could stay at when visiting Philadelphia; right across the street from the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and around the corner from the Jewish Museum. Service was lovely as was valet. My room was large and the bathroom just perfect; big and well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, etc. And I loved that the hotel was dog friendly. I don't have a dog but love to see them at hotels where I'm staying!

A bit of an expensive stay and considering the price I found carpeting and walls in the hallway in need of rehabbing; carpet in the elevator and hallways was worn away in many places and there were some visible stains. It's almost as if it needed a refresh!

Location and Valet were perfect

Hotel needs some TLC. Felt untouched since 1970. TV had to be replaced. Carpets need major steam cleaning. Sink bowl was broken and cracked .

The rooms were charming and in such a great location. Just steps to the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. A lot of great restaurants around, too.

The bed was a bit uncomfortable and the room got warm overnight but I was staying there in the middle of a heatwave. Otherwise, it was a great hotel!

Coffee in the morning. Had chargers we could borrow when we forgot ours. Great staff.

Carpet ripping. Make up in the bed. Never got cleaning service.

We love the location, right in the center of the historical area and easy to walk to various neighborhoods. The bed is comfortable. Love the room decoration and the excellent services from all the staff. I love the lounge area in the lobby.

I would have appreciated tea/coffee (kettle, tea bags, instant coffee options) in the room without having to request them myself. We forgot to put the Do Not Disturb sign on the outside of the door and was surprised that the cleaner knocked at the door three times in the morning when check out was at noon.

Bathroom toilet wasn’t clean properly, and soiled towel left. I notified the front desk and they placed a $25 red owl Café credit on our account which was nice, but overall it was amazing. Stay so no further issues there.

Bathroom was cleaned properly

Comfy mattress, friendly staff, close proximity to the historical sites, room decor

Bad water pressure, musty smelling room, thin-crepe-paper-consistency to the toilet paper, broken hair dryer, no light in the closet

Our room was quiet and beds were comfortable. The coffee/tea bar in the morning was fantastic.

Minor cleaning issues. The lights in the bathroom have a thick layer of dust on the bottom. The magnifying glass on the wall magnifies the dust, which made it more noticeable. The 9th floor carpet outside of the elevators and down the halls needs cleaning. The SW elevator needs servicing. It doesn’t ride as smoothly as the others.

Amazing location! And nice heritage/well furnished. Staff were very helpful. Happy Hour 5-6pm is a nice touch too.

Location

The blinds let in way to much light. The staff was nice but sometimes they made you feel like you were a bother to them. Like they had better things to do instead of helping you.

Nice and quirky. Felt like it had some character.

Not the cleanest. Some of the fittings in my room were damaged or not working.

Perfect location. Lots of Park space. Convenient location. Very pet friendly. Kind, Helpful staff. Great breakfast

Wish the rooftop lounge was open. Was challenge getting room service. But pick uop was easy and less costly

Staff Decor

No tea/ coffee making facilities in room Had booked a mini bar but it wasn’t filled

The location of the hotel to everything

That there was no laundry facilities and no pool

Friendly staff. Welcoming to our dog. Convenient location.

Vallet parking meant we could not park our Zipcar and had to pay for off-site parking.

Atmosphere and friendliness of staff.

Unfortunately, we had a room facing into the inner side with no view at all and no option to open a window. Somehow sad - all other things great!

Very conveniently located.

Carpet was a little ratty and there was no soap in the bathroom

The staff is, in my opinion, the best thing about this hotel. They were wonderful and super helpful. The location is also amazing and can't be beat. The room itself was very large and comfortable. I also brought my dogs with me, and the staff loved them and gave them treats. The hotel is also very close to several parks with grassy areas, so I didn't have a hard time finding places for them to take potty breaks.

Because my room was an interior room and looked to the inner patio - and because I was there in January when there isn't as much sun - my room was kind of dark. I also wish there were microwaves in the rooms. I was able to ask for one and have it sent to my room quickly, but it still seems like a hotel of this caliber should just include one in all of the rooms. But you can get one!

We liked the location, which is close to many historical sites and within a walking distance from some of the shops and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was large and clean. The lounge downstairs is cozy. Service was great, we didn't have to wait for anything.

The internet was slow and would drop the connection at times. There was some outside noise that we could hear (maybe from the corridor, maybe from rooms close to ours). We tried to get breakfast downstairs but there was no room for us.

Room was comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the wine happy hour each afternoon. Location was great for our purposes. Restaurant had delicious food.
