Very cute place Very small and a little loud, but this is due to the location in the city center, which on the other habd is very convinient as everything is easy to reach. Staff is really nice. Place is clean and comfortable

Perfect stay

This is a very cute hotel located in a great area. It was walking distance to Chinatown, Union Square and the Masonic. We had a great stay and the staff were very friendly.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quaint boutique property, well appointed, comfortable, great location. Super friendly and helpful staff. Fun bar/restaurant Bar Maritime was enjoyable.
Hilton, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This property was so cute, and I adored it. The property does not provide coffee cream, and I had to move the coffee maker to the floor, but I'm a die-hard coffee drinker. Overall, the property and staff were terrific.
Britni, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Quaint and peaceful stay. The staff are very accommodating and friendly! In terms of proximity, this area is very close to nearby neighborhoods (Chinatown, SoMA) so most of the main areas we visited were very walkable. If not, the bus and MUNI stations were close by. The building itself is old, but they keep it well-maintained (the elevator is unique; I never been in one like it! ) and the inside is decorated nicely. Didn't get the chance to check out the bar + restaurant during my stay but I most certainly will be returning in the future. Thank you Palihotel!
Grace, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

It is a reasonably pleasant hotel. I did not sleep a wink. Despite the double glazing, a construction site started up outside. The soundproofing internally is below par. The bed and sheets were brilliant, however, if you like pillows like enormous marshmallows, and I don’t, you will have a swell time. I don’t think I will come back.
Stephen, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

A chaotic check in followed by non-functioning AC left for an uncomfortable stay and I would not come back. Some cute design elements but this place has a long way to go on the hospitality front. They gave me a room by the trash areas so waking up to large trash bins moving around was not fun.
Noah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

So cute!! And such a great price. Everything about the hotel is so perfect and high quality! The rooms are adorable and bathrooms have diptyque products. The bar/lounge had really interesting drinks and also a live jazz performance in the evenings. Perfect location too! Right in the middle of union square. Public transport was super accessible from here. Highly recommend to anyone just trying to explore SF and wants to stay at a place that fits the vibe and elevates the experience.
smrithi, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hotel! Nice staff, wonderful location.
Sari, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

so cute & aesthetic. decent location (right around is like a city center, maybe not the nicest vibe in my opinion) but then 2 minute walk to china town which is amazing!!! very central!! The biggest thing was the noise, you could hear EVERYTHING. If you are a light sleeper, I do not recommend. It took me hours to fall asleep every night since it was so noisy. Other than that, I recommend!
Jess, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The elevator had issues, but worked. My problem was the plumbing. Our toilet clogged twice. The 2nd time the maintenance person told us not to flush toilet paper! At least that happened the morning we were leaving. The rooms are fine but small.
