The Pali was great value for money for our short trip in San Francisco. The hotel was walkable to lots of places - just a 25 or so minute walk down to the Ferry Building and walking distance to areas like North Beach. Just a few minutes from Union Square and lots of shopping. The room was small but comfortable and nicely designed. Not much of a view, but we weren't expecting one. The decor throughout is chic but cosy and a mix of old school glam and modern touches. The bar upstairs was very nice with friendly staff and good selection of drinks and food. We were really impressed by how good value the place was for being in central SF! We would definitely recommend it to others looking for an affordable option in the city.

The bathroom was poorly designed ( no shower door, a floating shelf that blocks the sink) but overall the room was serviceable. We were frustrated however that they threw on an undisclosed 30 dollar charge for booking with Expedia.
