What guests think

At Nobu Hotel Palo Alto, travelers describe stylish, serene rooms with Japanese touches, a prime Palo Alto location, and a lively on-site restaurant scene, alongside mixed feedback about staff attentiveness, dining experiences, and occasional hiccups with facilities.

Many highlight very clean, comfortable rooms, quiet ambience, and thoughtful touches like high-tech bidet toilets and minimalist design. The location earns praise for being in the heart of town with easy access to Stanford and Caltrain. Nobu dining draws raves from several guests, while others report slow breakfasts or poor meals and service, plus isolated complaints about elevator reliability, parking costs, and room controls or layouts. Expect a stylish stay with strong dining and location, but service and a few details can vary.

Rooms great. Services was terrible at the bar and restaurant. Called front desk, valet and guest services for an iron and no answer. Had to get dressed and go down to the desk and noone was behind the desk. The entire operation needs work. Get a mew GM!!!

there are many things wrong with this hotel. The rooms are laid out terrible and not comfortable. The shades have large gaps so the room is never really dark. They charge for every little thing no free water so thank god I brought some. 50 a day for parking on top of $500/a night room price. The attitudes of the help are snotty. Uppity. the restaurant is outrageous as well.

Nobu is a truly lovely hotel. We Particularly loved the Zen Garden, and of course the fabulous restaurant. Our only difficulty was with understanding the lighting and blinds system in our room, which was a bit complicated.

The hotel is new .. but definitely overpriced.. and it’s not 5 stars at all .. they have a huge problem at the door and with Vale .. welcoming clients at the door is the worse, we were asking the vale guy as he was the only person at the door to help with the bags and imagine .. he answered it’s not my business ..

Bedding, rooms first class. Staff not as attentive during breakfast. Lots of staff around... just our particular waitress was a bit missing. Never got a 2nd cup of coffee, nor offered a cup. I found myself looking around for her.. then just gave up. At time of payment... it seemed to lag, there were other conversations with her and the staff that seemed to prolonge her assertiveness to the task. There were only 2 or 3 tables in the whole restaurant.. so it was not that you guys were busy.

it very clear that the front desk staff has not been properly trained. When I check out they went rude but it seemed as if I was an annoying task that need to be dealt with when they where trying to do their real work. Not focus on the check out process or me the guest.
