European Vibe, Not Memorable

Palihotel has a cool European vibe, and the location is great—just around the corner from Union Square, making it convenient for exploring downtown. The rooms had a nice aesthetic, but the showers felt a bit dated and worn. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the stylish atmosphere. While the staff was friendly, they seemed out of touch with true customer service. The elevator was broken during our stay, meaning we had to walk up and down five flights of stairs. While that wasn’t a huge issue in itself, the hotel never offered any sort of accommodation for the inconvenience. Instead, we were repeatedly told it would be fixed “tomorrow,” but it felt like an ongoing issue. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible stay, but it didn’t stand out either. With so many other hotels to choose from in the area, I’d probably try somewhere else next time.

the air conditioner didn't work, I tried to sleep in a cold room, it was impossible, we changed the room but there was the same problem, the elevator didn't work and I had to go up the stairs to the 4th floor, I don't recommend this hotel, they are obviously unprofitable.

Bad experience

We’ve stayed at many hotels, and this is the first time we’ve encountered a situation where guests have to register online just to request housekeeping services. This is extremely unreasonable and inconvenient for travelers. The entire place has a strange smell lingering in the air. When storing your luggage, you have to attach the luggage tag yourself.

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.
