Really unique property, love the period design details. Room was nice and comfortable. Windows were relatively thin so a lot of noise from the area can be heard at times. Staff were friendly and quick to support any needs.

Palihotel staff were great and the hotel itself is beautiful. However, there was a protest right outside our window (banging drums, playing loud music, screaming into megaphones) in front of the neighboring hotel that started at 6a and went on for the rest of the day and then started back up again before 6a the next morning. I was not able to get any sleep and feel sick today. I absolutely believe in the right to protected activity and empathize with the hotel workers, but it was a rough night due to the extgremely loud noise. :(

Wonderful staff. Unfortunately, unfortunately, our air conditioner was not working when we checked in, we called down to the lobby and a staff member promptly arrived to help us move rooms. The property is very clean and safe. Hopefully a restaurant will open up again, but in the meantime, coffee is supplied every morning free of charge on the second floor. This is an addition to the espresso machine in your room!

The staff was great, particularly Rachel and Lovely. The location and condition were also great. My only issue was the sink: It was tiny, and the shelf above it made it difficult to use. Otherwise, I would recommend this hotel.

Great place, good location. There was some noise nearby, unrelated to this hotel. Striking hotel workers were banging drums nearby, demanding better pay, as they should. Would stay here again.

Disengaged staff and lacking natural light
I've stayed at several Pali locations, most recently in LA. This property is dark and lacks natural light. Some of that can't be helped. The staff was utterly lacking in customer service or caring for that matter. When I asked for a couple glasses I was told to us our coffee cups. We asked for a couple coffee pods, we were told housekeeping wasn't in and they would send some up, they never arrived. Feels like something the front desk person could have handed out from a drawer and made that easy. Overall just lackluster experience, staff just didn't care and couldn't be bothered.

Staff so helpful and friendly. Good location to getting around the city. There was a strike at another hotel and drums and noise was pretty loud, not any of Palihotel. I would stay here again.

When we arrived at the property we were met by Lovely, who much like her name was a pleasure to speak to. The room we had booked had an issue with the air and as the temperature inside was 87°F and had not cooled after we left for dinner I went at let Lovely know and she kindly moved us to another room. The new room was significantly smaller, but we were just happy to have cool air and it was away from the front of the building where there was a lot of noise with the protests outside the Grand Hyatt. The elevator was very slow (due to it’s age) which made it quite difficult getting to and from our room as we did have to wait a while with other guests using it too. Overall we had a pleasant stay.
