Internal communication from Frontdesk to housekeeping did not work out. Asked f daily housekeeping upon arrival, did not receive any housekeeping at all one time, despite daily Frontdesk reminders. Facility obviously understaffed, no service at neither bar nor cafe during my stay. Frontdesk staff still motivated, friendly and responsive; accommodated for later checkout and deducted daily fees from invoice total, due to lack of services. I do appreciate that. Conditions around hotel on Sunset Boulevard and entire area flat out terrible, trash blowing along the street, run down boarded up graffitied lots, dirty, sketchy to say the least. Unbelievable how the City expects businesses to operate and pay taxes under these shocking conditions!!! Am a well travelled construction industry and hospitality professional, open to consult on this if so desired.

Overall a great accommodation

It's a very cute boutique hotel. The building has a lot of history. Comfy bed, great water pressure and I really loved that they have steamer for clothes instead of iron and iron board! Amenities are very good. Even their mini bar with snacks are reasonable priced. Location is great, however I recommend renting a car as Sunset Boulevard isn't for walking. Daily parking garage with security is $30, can't complain about it. However it's not mentioned when we booked over hotels.com. Staff is lovely, welcoming and friendly. Housekeeping is great too! I'd definitely come back again.

Unfortunately we did not receive the room our reservation was stated as, we stayed three days, everyday we asked for an explanation or a room change. Everyday each person at the desk was unaware of the room layouts, said we needed a manager. The manager never seemed to be on the property nor did they call us like we were told. Another annoyance was the soap in the shower was out, three days of asking for soap, no soap was ever delivered. First day they took our room towels and did not replace them. When we asked they said they were out of towels and we could walk to the pool area and use one of the outside pool towels. Interior cute, decent cleanliness, absolute staff incompetence, while never receiving the room we paid for.

Expected waaaaay better - would not return

Funky hotel - appreciate the age is part of the appeal, but don’t expect all glitz and glamour…. Orange mould in shower, 4 person room booked and only two towels - had to request additional. No housekeeping unless you request apparently… key didn’t work second day, advised you need to reset keys everyday - never come across this before Pool was feral - I’m talking clumps of hair floating around, old used towels left around the area Parking is great Overpriced for what you receive - definitely do better, and the area is bad. Close to attractions, walk of stars etc - but take your life in your hands stepping outside….

Palihotel Hollywood is a cosy boutique hotel located in the heart of Hollywood. The exterior of the hotel doesn’t look like much, but once you’re inside you can’t help but appreciate the cute art deco interior. The reception staff were very friendly. The not so good parts: 1. The rooms have ZERO soundproofing. We stayed on the lower floor, and the whole time we could hear footsteps from the people staying upstairs. The walls are also very thin, and we could literally hear everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) that the couple next door were doing. This hotel is NOT suitable for families and kids. 2. The housekeeping service left a lot to be desired. Despite leaving generous tips for housekeeping, the towels were not changed, the bins were not emptied, and the coffee pods were not restocked. A note to international travellers: housekeeping services are requested via SMS, so make sure your eSIM comes with a US phone number. 3. There is constantly loud music playing from the pool area, which continues late into the night. This can be quite disruptive when you’re trying to rest. 4. It took us a good half hour to figure out how to use the TV. They need to make it clear that the TV channels are under “HDMI2” and not “TV”. While the hotel is undeniably gorgeous, for me the negatives far outweigh the positives. By the end of our stay, I couldn’t wait to leave. I normally hate leaving negative reviews, but these things are deal breakers to me and I feel like people should be warned.

I stayed here for 3 nights for a show at the Hollywood Bowl. It’s a little bit of a walk, but we did it all 3 nights. Yes there are homeless people, but you’re in Hollywood… It’s super close to all the tourist junk if that’s what you’re looking for. The hotel itself, it’s over priced but again… you’re in Hollywood. It’s an old hotel that has been revamped to be more of a boutique feel. I stayed here when it was the old place, so it’s for sure an improvement. The staff are all great! Super nice, didn’t care if we hung out with our own drinks, and just really friendly. Underground garage parking is great. They have a mini fridge, however it’s stocked with their things. No food options, and coffee bar downstairs is not alway available. There is a walk up coffee window across the street at IHOP though and plenty of food around. Even with the shady people around, I’d stay here again. It’s again, a bit overpriced, but it’s LA!

It's a nice property, good bed and pillows. Cute design. The pool looks beautiful but it wasn't heated so we didn't get to swim. My complaints: No complimentary water, usually you get 2 bottles of water when u stay at a place like this. No ice buckets. No soda machine. No drink service from the bar after 8. We were never able to get our free drinks because the time restrictions. They wouldn't/ couldn't sell us a soda after 8 even though the bar is a part of the check-in area and the same person mans it. That's just ridiculous.

Nice Clean Hotel, Pool is beautiful and heated. The staff were polite enough, the area is typical LA with a few options for food. But disappointed about not having room service, restaurants on site and barely a place for coffee/breakfast. Also, the rooms are paper thin (so you hear everything) and if you’re are on 1st floor you also hear footsteps continuously.
