Nice hotel and historic building, loved the style of the rooms and the vibe of the place. Warning that public parking at the recommended lot across from the hotel will charge you $46 per night. And there is no validation from the hotel, AND you cannot take your car in and out, so you will have to use public transportation or else they will charge you an additional hourly rate. It would be nice if there was some form of parking option offered by the hotel, or at least discounted rates. You will also have to carry your bags from the lot across all the way to the hotel, not a totally long commute, but inconvenient if you are looking for something more comfortable. I’ve stayed at other Pali hotels and didn’t have this experience, but I think it’s just the location that made this the case. So future guests just be aware. The bar is super nice though! And the bartender Hannah was so kind. Also the location in the city is very convenient and right next to the bus stop, so that made getting around easy.

Amazing vibe in this hotel. We loved the style and the unique touches - would look forward to staying in a Palihotel again in other cities. The toiletries are high end and the room was comfortable. Our room was toward the back of the building and was quiet. We also didn't mind the slightly slow elevator - it's from 1910 (safely updated of course) and the history of that was very cool! It's older even than the elevator in Coit Tower! The location was also convenient for transit and for picking up a rental car on one day. We were confused about some of the amenities, like whether there was coffee available in the morning or maybe a complimentary drink at the bar, and couldn't find the information online. We admittedly didn't wind up asking about it until our last day at the property, but it would have been helpful to be verbally informed of the options when we checked in.

Clean and cute! I got a room facing a brick wall which was disappointing but no big deal as the location had us out and about. Walking distance to Chinatown which I recommend walking through. Shopping down the street! I felt safe and staff was great. Cute martini bar with amazing service and delicious drinks! I would stay here again.

We visited as part of our honeymoon and the team kindly upgraded our room and gifted us with champagne which was really special. All staff were lovely, clean rooms, bar drinks were awesome and the location was close to transport and other key neighborhoods. Definitely recommend!

The front desk staff are absolute stars! They were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to be helpful. The bar staff were also extremely friendly and helpful with providing their suggestions for restaurants and overall SF attractions. You can tell everyone is truly happy to be there and all guests felt it. Thank you!

I love staying at the Pali hotels. My room was extraordinary, big and very clean. The staff was very friendly when I checked in and helped me get accommodated. You are very close to Union square and lots of shopping nearby. By gray parking across the street or around the block

Very nice small hotel near union square, rooms are very clean and comfortable, staff is very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The bar on the 2nd floor is a must!

Clean, spacious rooms. Very aesthetic decorations, cute lobby. Really neat old style elevator. Walking distance to a lot of sights, very close to the Chinatown Dragon gate. Parking nearby, easy in/out system. Really nice 2nd floor bar & restaurant. Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations for the area! We enjoyed our stay!

Honestly, I think this is my favorite hotel in San Francisco and I have stayed at at least a dozen. But I love French style and character and can understand how it is not for everyone. Technically the shower floor was very slippery and the sink was very small, so I would not recommend for elderly.

The staff (the bartender, the nigh receptionist and their manager, Will) made my week long stay great! They were friendly and went above and beyond. The only thing that business travelers need to know is that the rooms DO NOT have a table so you can't actually work in the room - though they did bring me a small table I was able to pull up to the sofa to use. This is NOT a business friendly hotel - I had to hunt for an outlet for my laptop. And strangely my room was not serviced for 5 days - I had to ask the front desk twice for someone to take out the trash and to provide more toilet paper and fresh towels.
