Palihotel San Francisco

I loved the decor and the bartender Hannah in the bar went above and beyond to be helpful and made me feel welcome. There was no microwave or free water and the refrigerator was essentially unusable because it was filled with beverages for sale. The parking was also problematic. I loved the retro feel of the door on the elevator!

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!

Convenient location. Rooms are nice enough but minimalist in style - no tables/surface areas to put stuff. Room was clean but both days of our stay they didn’t refresh our room - complained both days but only on the second day they found someone to refresh. Our room faced away from the street into an internal ‘courtyard’ full of pigeons who woke us up every morning at 4am. Overall, a convenient spot if you want to be central but wouldn’t highly recommend.

Superb

Staff was very friendly. Very helpful. I like that they were accommodating

Good

This hotel is very close to everthing, shops, coffee bars. We walked always by foot and it was amazing. The room was small, the elevator was slow.

El personal de recepción debería manejar varios idiomas

Clean, modern, great bar and restaurant. Staff were helpful.

The shower could use some rails for people to hold on to while drying off and for safety. The room was hot and opening windows was difficult.

Lovely place friendly and helpful staff N/A

Bring a white noise machine! We had ours cranked as loud as possible so we were able to drown out the music blasting in the building next door/street level. There’s nowhere to pull up and unload luggage out front — you have to park in the garage across the street, walk everything over, and then check in. Staff is really great, property is small and old but really unique + lots of character. Worked for us as a single night stay, probably wouldn’t be comfy for longer than that

Building is old, elevator is old the window in our room is broken.

Near everything. Building is old, elevator is old the window in our room is broken.

The location was perfect. The staff is friendly. There was a weird smell in the corridors, and the walls are so thin you can hear pretty much every conversation next door. Also, there are no USB-C ports in the rooms. I get that the building is old, but it’s 2026, they should’ve updated something as basic as that.

Great location within walking distance of many cafes, coffee shops, and tourist attractions. The bed is comfortable. The location is a historic building and due to this, and the location near a tunnel, is VERY noisy. Ear plugs are provided but you may also need noise canceling headphones.
