Palihotel Hollywood near Universal Studios

“Great boutique hotel experience”

We had the best stay at Pali Hotel Westwood. I own an interior design business and I loved the design and all of the pretty details. The delicious breakfast was one of our favorite parts. There is no elevator, which is a consideration if that would be a problem. Staff is there to help with bags as needed, or pack light. Front desk staff member, Dave, was one of the kindest and most genuinely helpful people I’ve encountered in all of my travels. We are hoping to visit again soon!

“Loved it!”

Such a cute hotel. It’s a little oasis in the bustle of Hollywood. Would absolutely stay here again. Great bar and oool. Only complaint is there was no housekeeping.

“Avoid, bad value for money”

Really bad start to our trip, when booking i selected pay at property to pay in local currency (cash), maybe if this was not allowed this should be clearly highlighted as we were stuck with the exact cash to pay for our stay and unable to do so. Then the charge was taken on my card for the stay but “not taken on their end” so I was left with the money taken from my account and still unable to check in. This was of course extremely frustrating for us as we were waiting. Staff were very careless and quite rude about the situation in my opinion, I understand that they could not do much but this had been extremely stressful for us and the attitude was as if they didn’t care. When I finally managed to check in no instructions were given on the location of our room; how we park or other details like the lift and wifi. Hotel is also very old with slow facilities (the elevator is not automatic and is very scary so avoid) and the wifi does not work. This hotel smells awful also, like cigarettes throughout. Bare in mind if you are booking a room with a balcony that another persons room will have a window into your balcony (very strange). Pool does not appear clean and pool beds very worn out. I would avoid this property overall. Definitely not worth the money, or as pretty in real life :(

“Nice room but over priced for what you get.”

The room was cosy and nicely decorated.

The pool wasn’t clean and the staff wasn’t super compliant. Beds were tiny and didn’t fit two fully grown people. Your balcony is shared with another room who has a window out to you balcony. The pricing for the parking was way higher than it says here in booking.
