When I arrived at check in I was told that the hotel was having some minor electrical issues and could cancel my reservation without penalty. The issues seemed minor so I had no problem keeping my reservation and was surprised find out my room had been upgraded. I had a wonderful stay and did not encounter a single issue. I would definitely stay here again and I appreciated the honesty from the hotel about the potential for issues to make sure I was making an informed decision.

Chic, Cozy, and Perfect for a Solo Stay

The Palihotel San Diego is such a gem. The rooms are definitely on the smaller side, but they’re perfectly cozy — ideal for anyone traveling solo who loves a minimal yet thoughtfully designed space. Everything feels clean, modern, and effortlessly stylish without being over the top. The staff deserves major credit, especially Ina at the front desk, who was so kind and helpful from check-in to check-out. The location couldn’t be better — everything I needed was either a short walk away or a quick Uber ride (never more than $20). The on-site restaurant was another highlight. The manager was clearly hands-on, making sure guests were taken care of even during the busy rush. Plus, the entire place is an Instagram dream — seriously, every corner is a photo op if you’re into capturing chic, content-ready vibes. Highly recommend for anyone traveling solo or looking for an affordable, stylish stay in San Diego.

Great hotel service and experience overall! Staff was very professional. Beautiful interior and very clean. However, there are a few things that we noticed during our stay that made the experience a little less enjoyable. First, having only one of two elevators working and waiting a while for it to arrive was tiring. I understand the building is older, however, when your room is on the 7th floor, the elevator becomes more necessary than not. We took the stairs a few times but it wasn't ideal. Second, the Wi-Fi was not connecting with my devices. I was talking with a friend who was also staying at the Palihotel, and he mentioned he wasn't able to either. However, he helped me based on what the front desk told him to do. Lastly, the air conditioner was not working. It definitely made a difference at night when it felt a little stuffy.

I booked this for an artist I work for and they got bed bugs, the photos are much nicer than the actual hotel. When you travel a lot for work its nice to have a boutique hotel but this really threw a wrench in the weekend. Do not stay here.

We love the Palihotel group of properties and were really excited to try this new one. The rooftop is AMAZING and the quirky elevators from 1913 were fun, but there were some weird design flaws (such as the decades of paint made it literally impossible to close the bathroom window, so it was swung open with a drop down from the 8fth floor - there was no latch and no way to close it, even after calling the front desk). Overall a cute spot for the cost, as this was a fraction of what most Pali properties have been per night. The bar was also wonderful and we loved the cocktail selection.

The hotel is amazing! The ambiance from the time you walk yp outside, to the lobby, and each hallway of every floor I walked on was great. The staff all greeted me, even if they were cleaning a room I walked by. It is in the heart of downtown and so easy to walk to so many places. I cannot recommend it enough!

The front desk staff weee great! Erica, Renee, Marco and Mckezie were exceptional. The lobby is pretty. Reason for low review: The rooms are small and dismal. Suites are dark and facing walls. The elevator while charming requires strength to open and when one is not working it takes a good 4-8 mins to arrive to the lobby. We had to leave after the first night as the AC in the building broke down and the night was restless and hot as there is no fan either. The free gummies beers are terrible lol :). All in all for a 4 star hotel our anniversary and birthday was not pleasant!

This hotel was perfect for my weekend in SD. Beautiful views from the roof and my room. I had breakfast and lunch in the diner and was impressed with how delicious the food was. Decor was pretty and unique and the hotel has friendly staff. It’s also right in the middle of Gaslamp and walkable to lots of things. I would definitely stay here again!
