Good experience in a historic hotel. They don’t have cream for coffee though and the street was loud. I slept good but my partner was woken up by the noise on the street.

internet did not work for my whole 3 night stay. I was in town for business, so this was a real problem. Housekeeping services were not available, for even refreshing coffee or drinks in room. Small, noisy hotel

I liked the price, and the location is good. The room lacked adequate lighting above the sink, an outlet by the sink that looked like it was coming out of the wall, no working TV, and no coffee...these aren't real life problems...but it's why they are getting a 3. The staff was nice and helpful (although no one was at the front desk for check in for about 20 minutes). This is my second time in three years staying there and I am on the fence I would stay there again. Maybe. Try for the price and see. It's a cute place.

I’m familiar with San Francisco and stopped at Palihotel after a retreat before flying home. Some reviews of SF complain about noise or seeing people sitting on the sidewalks… babe, that’s the city. That said, I wasn’t approached by anyone on the sidewalks in the area around the hotel, and I didn’t find it noisy (although you’re going to hear traffic sounds anywhere in the city). The place was super clean, the staff was helpful, I felt safe the whole time. The room was small, but I knew that going in, and the decor, linens and updated bathroom made up for the size. I could have used a luggage rack, but I’m not sure where they would store that so I understand why there wasn’t one. I liked the text communication from the front desk. The location was slightly inconvenient for my ride to the airport to pick me up— I walked around the corner with my suitcase and waited in front of a busy fast food/retail area, but again— it’s a big city and I get it. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a solo traveler or couple wanting to see the city. It’s super close to Chinatown and Union Square.

++ Nice location near Union Square. + The room is spacious enough (for SF) and rather recently decorated. - During my 6-day stay the room was only made up twice, and towels were only replaced once. -- In addition, the clogged toilet was only fixed after 2 days (!), despite reporting it to reception several times.

They overbooked and gave our room to someone else. They did arrange for us to stay across the street but we were still very disappointed as I’ve stayed at Palihotel several times with my sister and was looking forward to staying there with my daughter.
