great location friendly staff, small boutique hotel.

Maria United Kingdom

The hotel is stunning, the staff are magnificent, the location is perfect.

Fiona United Kingdom

I enjoyed the salmon choice for breakfast. The gardens and courtyard were lovely. The open fire that was lit in the lounge /dinning area, was most welcome, so relaxing. The location in a quiet residential area was perfect, with a 10 min walk to mall or beach.

Maria Australia

Quirky venue but very welcoming and comfortable. Excellent staff.

Mary Ireland

The location of the Pali House is great. A few blocks from the 3rd Street Promenade with shops and restaurants. It is 3 blocks from the amazing Santa Monica bluffs on Ocean Blvd where you can have beautiful sunset views of Malibu and the Santa Monica Pier. The Pali House is old mission style building full of charm and history. The lift(elevator) is the original. The outdoor patio is great for breakfast.

Theresa United States

Beautiful & cosy property, good location, easy parking (valet) and nice snacks/food. We received an upgrade and room was nice and big. Bathrooms are small but clean and convenient. We rented some bikes from the hotel as well. Very fair value for money for LA/Santa Monica.

Hannah Switzerland

very big apartment with the well equipped kitchen, clothes rooms etc. nice breakfast. very interesting vintage design and building itself.

Yuriy Cyprus

Lovely historic building / very tastefully designed - everything from the cosy lobby, Lovely court yard, and great spot to hang out at the front - rooms are spacious, clean and unique - also location I found to be excellent, quiet road but short stroll to main promenade , and beach.

Sina Australia

The building is fantastic, loads of character. This does mean that there are some quirks such as the plumbing not being perfect and there are creaks from the flooring but if you like character this place is great. Lovely lounge area and gardens both front and back. All the staff were great, exceptionally friendly. Although the bed was small for a hotel, it must have been comfortable as neither I, or my wife woke up until much later than we usually would have.

Lyle United Kingdom

location is fantastic, 2 blocks away from the beach and downtown Santa Monica. Yet the hotel is quiet, no street noose at all. Design is quirky, old-fashioned, beautiful.
