Little gem! Made a last minute reservation for the same day. Hotel is a little hole in the wall. Cozy little reception area, fine you a boutique feeling. Friendly staff, old school elevator (which is beautiful).Queen bed room is tiny, but really cute, clean and comfy. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Bathroom is also small but ectopic you need. Well definitely return to this place. Super convenient location. One block from union Square. Hop on any bus across the street and go to North Beach (about 6 stops) and enjoy some italian food or gonto the corner store and get some wine and go back to the hotel and relax. Bar/ restaurant is nice, a bit too pricey in my book.cocktails are above 17 $...... Friendly staff though. Overall... cute gem worth staying at. Only complaint: tv has soe channels and no access to youtube or ability to screen mirror, so bring your HDMI cable and your laptop to prevent watching a movie with 50 mins of ads for a 90 min movie 😎 (Fridge is in the room, drinks and candy as well in a basket but no prices on the menu. Also, coffee machine with pods, but unclear if it's complimentary or not Final verdict: Stayed at many SF hotels (work in that industry) and try them out, that's my favorite so far.

It was great for the price! Everything worked fine and I enjoyed my stay. Only thing I had a problem with was the WIFI. It took a long time to connect to my laptop and it kept kicking me out. I was on the 4th floor. Other than that I enjoyed my stay!

I've stayed at this Pali location multiple times from when it first opened to now. This time felt different. Can't really pinpoint it. Staff was super helpful with moving rooms because the TV was broken in the original room we were assigned to. Having the text to contact staff option is nice. Downside to this property is that the rooms get pretty warm and the temperature control only goes to 67 degrees which I understand why. So if you run warm, this might not be the place for you. Also, the elevator is old and slow. Not a deterrent to stay here by any means, just an FYI. Parking is convenient, public garage right across the street and they offer overnight parking now for $20 (in after 6pm and out before 9am the next morning) so that is nice.

Great Stay

The hotel is so conveniently located in a high foot traffic area so you immediately feel more at ease. As soon as you walk in the lobby smells so good. Check in was a breeze, I got the run down and took a trip in their vintage elevator up to my room. The room was so cozy, super fluffy sheets and pillow. But best of all was the shower it was so spacious and the rain fall shower head was sooo relaxing. Now room service was a bit confusing, they didn’t come each day they kinda had some sort of schedule, because they didn’t clean my room until like about four days into my stay. Oh well, not that big of a deal. Sound wise it was pretty okay, but the walls are thin so don’t be surprised if you hear your neighbors, because they likely can hear you too. All in all a cozy and restful stay! Would def love to stay again with this brand.

Overall the stay was nice. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were great and were quite clean. Did not like the fact that the room heaters were not working and that they were out of space heaters when requested. Extra blankets were provided but would've been nice to have a cozy warm room in the winter.

Palihotel has a special place in my heart. It’s a charming spot with luxury sprinkled in. Is it an old building? Yes, but who wouldn’t want to experiencing the real charm of SF- vintage architecture? Can you hear the hotel strikes at the nearby hotels? A little bit! If you’re not charmed by the sounds of hustle and bustle and passion of people fighting for worker rights, then maybe SF isn’t a good city for you to visit. Tons of incredible food right outside the door. Easy access to the transit system. Rooms don’t get the best light, but hey, the purpose of touristing is to be outside of your room anywho. Extra comfy beds, slept like a baby over my multiple night stay. This place is a little adventurous and the staff are incredibly kind.

The hotel was great, not a lot of space (if you have a bigger group) but it was a great size for a couple. The bar in the hotel was great, right down the street from china town so there’s a lot of great food options. Overall it’s a great hotel

I liked the hotel decor, especially the lobby. There was an issue with Expedia's pre-payment rate. I was charged the full amount at the start of my stay, rather than before I arrived or at the end of my stay. The hotel staff was helpful, but the daily cleaning service didn't clean my room. Also there aren't any phones in the hotel rooms. I'd recommend for a quick trip! There are a lot of options for dinner and exploring SF nearby. I wouldn't recommend the bus stop in front of the hotel, but there's easy access to the BART.
