Très bel hotel à fréquenter plutôt en couple qu'en famille.
Pros:

Emplacement idéal. Chambre spacieuse et calme. Petit déjeuner parfait. Terrasse extérieure magnifique, jardin à l'entrée de l'établissement absolument superbe et bien entretenu. Batiment magnifique. Personnel très gentil et professionnel.

Cons:

Savon pour les mains dans la salle de bain serait apprécié. Et aussi une bouilloire dans la chambre.
Pour une meilleure hygiène et entretien des locaux, et même pour l'esthétique, enlever toute cette moquette serait préférable. Je suis certaine qu'il y a un magnifique parquet en dessous et c'est bien dommage de le cacher.

Très bel établissement idéalement situé, jardin somptueux, personnel très agréable
Pros:

Cadre magnifique, jardin somptueux, terrasse arrière très agréable, beau bâtiment ancien et spacieux, emplacement idéal, calme. Personnel très agréable et serviable.

Cons:

La déco des chambres est très jolie mais l'établissement aurait peut être besoin d'un rafraîchissement au niveau de l'ameublement et aussi, peut-être faudrait-il enlever la moquette par mesure d'hygiène et esthétique. Il y a probablement un magnifique parquet en dessous et c'est bien dommage de le cacher. La literie est moyenne. savon main à ajouter dans les salles de bains.

Loved my stay at Maison Twenty Seven
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at Maison Twenty Seven, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the property is absolutely gorgeous. The room was charming along with the entire property.

A few small things kept it from being a perfect stay: I had requested their complimentary homemade cookies and a personalized celebration card to celebrate a birthday days upon arrival, but unfortunately never received either. I also had some noisy construction happening right outside my door on the morning of our last day, which continued throughout the morning which wasn't ideal.

That said, the charm and unbeatable location more than made up for it, and I'd absolutely return. I didn't get the chance to try the restaurant this time, but definitely would want to!

Something different!
Pros:

The cutest room and the staff was so friendly and helpful! Awesome location too near the restaurants, beach and Pier in Santa Monica. Quick drive to Malibu and the shops and beaches there.

Comfortable room with very cool decor. The hotel has bikes and lots go garden spaces too.

Great location & easy access
Pros:

easy access to the hotel via unbusy street, valet-access to make street-parking an afterthought (though we found a spot right by the hotel for free) & a spacious, colorful, neatly decorated room. Lobby was immaculate and quiet, having the air of an old monastery.

No Regrets (though something of a Mixed Bag)
Pros:

Pleasant and helpful staff, charming building and location, and comfortable bed. Seems like a lot of deferred maintenance that new operators will hopefully address in time. I heard one patron exclaim, "I love this place, I'll be back!" so possibly some suites are more updated than mine? For the price point, I would have appreciated an included breakfast. Good food at the restaurant downstairs, would have dined there more, but people working remotely monopolized the most comfortable seating for what seemed like most of the day.

Charming Historic Hotel With Incredible Service
Pros:

This charming old-world hotel perfectly balances thoughtful updates with its classic character and charm. The location is excellent, and the staff consistently goes above and beyond. From providing toothpaste when I forgot mine to bringing me tea and honey after the café had closed because I wasn’t feeling well, their kindness truly stands out. We always stay here when visiting our kids — it genuinely feels like our home away from home.

Unique and perfect
Pros:

The building is unlike any other in Santa Monica with charming historical details. We love staying near the Montana area, too. It's quiet with plenty of cafes, restaurants and shopping. Staff is so friendly and accommodating.

Excellent Location & Historic Architecture
Pros:

Charming place with so much character and excellent location. We could walk to local coffee shops, restaurants, beach area. We were upgraded to a suite with beautiful balconies -- though the one night of our stay was hardly enough time to enjoy it! Service was very friendly and welcoming. Very comfortable sleep and accommodations.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay and Maison twenty seven. Beautiful, unique hotel that was beautifully decorated. The location is great, removed from the chaos but short walk to the beach and 3rd street/pier easily walkable.

The staff was the best part of our stay. Michael helped us with check in and restaurant recommendations and even upgraded us to a bigger space which was really wonderful as we were traveling with a toddler. Gavin went above and beyond, helping us get up and down stairs and elevators with our toddler and providing fans ect for the room. Dine helped with check out and was very kind and helpful. The valet staff was also wonderful.

They also had free coffee/homemade cookies/juice!

Can’t wait to come back for another stay!

Pros:

We came back to this property after 4 years and yet again had the most wonderful stay. We had two rooms booked and both got an upgrade upon arrival which was a lovely surprise. This hotel feels like a cosy home away from home. Living room is charming and everything feels like an old world chic. Looking forward to be coming back!

Found my new favorite hotel in Santa Monica
Pros:

I go down to Los Angeles every month for work, and i've been trying all of the nicer hotels in the area, and this one is my favorite. The minute you get to the property, you are met with peace and tranquility. The central area is so inviting, and there is a front area and back area to sit quietly and read or eat. It's the Chateau Marmont of the westside. Entire place is clean, rooms are inviting and have character. Looking forward to getting to know the staff more on return trips, all of them were wonderful.

Pros:

Bfast was okay not great. Granola was a puddle of yoghurt with a few bits of granola.
Front staff were hit and miss in terms of how much they wanted to help, didn’t go out of their way to help with anything. Michael, who checked us in when we arrived late was friendly. Neri was lovely woman, personable.

Cons:

The place has changed from when we stayed and it was PaliHouse owned. It is still a beautiful property but lacks the precious warmth.

Beautiful hotel, great service
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, but the real reason I stay is the service. Rayan especially dealt with my annoying needs to change my reservation, twice, on my week long stay. He found ways to help me that I hadn't asked for. And he did it without being all showy and annoying about it. High reco.

Great hotel, even greater staff
Pros:

We stayed at Palihouse Santa Monica for a little over two months while my father was in town for surgery, and the experience was shaped in large part by the exceptional staff. Ryan, Gavin, and Dalia were consistently attentive, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful with our many needs over an extended stay, which made a challenging period much easier.

The property itself is an older building and doesn’t offer the full range of services you might expect at this price point (for example, there’s no room service). That said, it’s beautifully decorated and well maintained, and the staff are highly professional and genuinely caring. Their attentiveness and competence more than made up for the lack of traditional hotel amenities, and ultimately made our stay a very positive one.
