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.

The palihotel is beautifully decorated and feels so special to stay in. I highly recommend it for people who plan on walking during their stay and are looking for something different than any other hotel. I very much appreciated the Dyptique scents in the room as well.

Worst Hotel Experience Ever! Don’t Recommend! When we arrived, the system is broken, and our card to the room cannot open the door. The room is so tiny and the advertisement photo shows there is a table, but the room doesn’t have it. The room is really cold and the AC doesn’t work. And the lightbulb popped out. Although the staff there is friendly they gave us many information, the protest around the area is awful. It was a nightmare. We cannot have our nap during the day. One thing hasn’t solved at this moment is that they gave us the parking tickets, but we didn’t use them and they charge us for two nights parking after we left the hotel. We mentioned that we parked in the parking structure for first night that shouldn’t be charged by the hotel when we checked in, but they still charge for that. Very strange. Now, we want to give them a call to solve the issue, clearly the number cannot even be reached.

Lovely went above and beyond to help me with the logistics of loading in an extra large amount of luggage and was very kind. There was also a man whose name I didn't get who was very kind and helpful. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend a stay here.

We Love Pali-Everything
We absolutely love the Pali world. We are life long fans and will always book with them if they are in an area we are staying in. The attention to detail, hospitality, and comfort is unmatched. They make you feel like you never left home. We have stayed at Palihotel SF several times and loved it every time. The only reason we rated lower (4 star) for this particular stay is because the 2nd floor bar was not operational which is a favorite feature for us. There was also wild protests that woke us up at 7am every morning. Definitely not something Palihotel had any control over but it dampened the experience significantly so it is worth noting.
