What guests think

At Kasa Niche Hotel Redwood City, guests consistently praise the clean, modern, compact rooms and the highly walkable downtown location near restaurants, coffee shops, and Caltrain, making it a convenient base for short stops in Redwood City and the Peninsula.

Common drawbacks include thin walls and appliance noise, and parking relies on nearby public lots that can be inconvenient. Service is fully contactless with code entry and text support; many report smooth check-in and quick responses, while others experienced code failures, delays, or difficulty reaching help. Best for short, no-frills stays where convenience and location matter more than full-service amenities.

Toilet had brown water in it when I checked in. Blood stains on the pillow. Beeping noise constantly, like a smoke alarm needed batteries. There was a wheel barrow outside my window. A balcony of an apartment overlooked my room. Heater didn’t work. No extra blankets. No staff on site. Convenient for bars and restaurants. No parking

Decent place to stay to access Redwood City. There is NO PARKING so you must park in a lot or in a garage nearby.

My only complaint about this location is that the parking isn’t great. Both times I’ve stayed here. I’ve had to search around for parking for a while. But everything else is fantastic. It’s definitely not super quiet because it’s next to a very busy area, but it was fine for me

Parking is a pain. And since the two spaces in front of the hotel are not enforced, when it is busy it is impossible to park and get hold of anyone. Very poor at the beginning

A micro-hotel in downtown Redwood City. Hotel was new and clean, but rooms are tiny. Parking is available in public lot around the corner. No amenities.

I will go to Kasa Niche again. I love the space, it is ver comfortably cozy and super clean. I love the setup. Only downside is the parking space. Customer have to pay from 8a.m to 8p.m Monday through Sat. Sunday it is free.

Great location with modern rooms, free access to laundry facilities. There is a small kitchen area near the lobby. Coded entry eliminates the need for key cards. No elevator, but you can request a room on the main floor. There is only one other floor.

This hotel is in the middle of downtown Redwood City with access to shopping, supermarkets, and amazing restaurants. The property is clean, has plenty of light, and has a friendly staff. The rooms are clean and have everything you need for a pleasant stay. The hot water kettle and the queen bed were the best features.

Wonderful! The room is compact, but well laid out and very tidy! The property is spotless inside, not fancy, but tasteful and well maintained. There is a front desk assistant on duty, however, the virtual check-in process was seamless; the property provided all of the instructions to enter the building and my room in an easy to follow email. As an older, single traveler I really appreciated the simplicity. Complementary FIJI water in the room and an ample supply of Keurig K-cups, fridge, microwave and a safe for valuables. Amazing all this is provided at such a reasonable price! Would definitely stay here again, highly recommended

The location was amazing, in the middle of downtown Redwood City. The room (I stayed in a junior suite) was one of those tiny but very efficiently laid out units. I enjoyed my stay, with a few caveats. 1) The miniature desk was just too small and the chair too uncomfortable for work. I ended up working from bed––ok for a few hours, but not an extended business trip. 2) The fridge was TOO LOUD. This seems to be a consistent problem with both Kasa locations I stayed at, and my sleep quality tends to be worse at Kasa than anywhere else I stayed. 3) The shades are not blackout. I appreciated the eyemask though. Overall, the location couldn't have been better, and it's always nice to stay at a brand new hotel, but I won't return expecting a restful stay and certainly not if I am traveling with somebody else--there was just barely enough room for one person.

Great concept a self-service hotel that’s only downside — for me at least — is the way sound travels: people talking next door, the flag of a toilet nearby, water rushing through pipes. The hotel must know this is an issue since the provide ear plugs (along with eye masks) in the room. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is fun and central. Two nearby street blocks are blocked off to allow pedestrians to casually stroll. The room was light, bright, and clean. The lighting was well designed, thoughtful, and a bit luxe. Anywhere you needed a light, you'd find one. A band of white-violet light wraps around the bed and emanates between the mattress and the frame. The bathroom mirror light has three settings: cold, warm, and something else I've forgotten. There's a vessel sink, and a barn door separates the toilet and shower from the rest of the room. At the same time, I was disappointed by the coffee and tea selections, and surprised that they offered powdered creamers. I wanted at least one chair in the room, although I'm not sure where they'd put it. The refrigerator cycles on and off, which you may notice when trying to sleep. The shade design is really clever, but doesn't exactly create a blackout curtain effect. There was considerably less noise than a typical hotel. They offered eye masks and ear plugs, but we didn't end up using them. Overall, a nice place to stay for a night or two. Eventually, you'll want a chair.

The property had poor sound control and lighting. I had a window facing the street with light flooding in during the evening making it difficult to sleep, however, the property location is excellent and cleanliness was 10/10 as well. If you have your own ear plugs and they put in black out shades, this place would be better

Loud refrigerator and heating system. The whole room kept buzzing loud noises all night long from the fridge or central heater . I prefer no fridge bc their fridge is so loud and disturbs your sleep.

Communicating with this property is virtually impossible. Yes, you can text them but unfortunately the agents are not well trained and any kind of response is usually very untimely making it very challenging to make plans. For example, I requested early check-in for Noon; received an email at 2:31 saying I could now check-in at Noon. Terrific. I could go on. Unfortunately the property tries to replace helpful, pleasant human interaction with automation and texts and fails miserably.

We absolutely loved our stay at Kasa Niche! The concept of this hotel is unique and works wonderfully! They were quick to accommodate my request for an early check in. They followed through just as they said they would by sending me the checking code 30 minutes before my check in time. The hotel was very clean, the rooms had everything you needed in them to be comfortable. The lobby area was equiped with additional things that maybe needed while there - it had a microwave, a fancy coffee and cocoa machine, a table in the kitchen area, a small library, a sitting area, and a work area. I was so impressed! The staff the was super friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and to make sure we had everything that we needed. I can't wait to come back again!!
