Location is great. The staff very nice. The gym was practical. Only drawbacks were the bathroom- not enough hooks and sink was too shallow compared to the facet so when i washed my hands i kept touching the sink. The pillows were not supportive at all. I ended up with awefyl necks pains after 4 nights

Great rooms, exceptional toilets with fully customizable bidet functions. Our first room was too elevator-adjacent but they moved it with no issues! Excellent restaurant downstairs. Super nice and accommodating staff. Good location.

We had an amazing experience at Nobu Palo Alto. From the moment we booked, everything was smooth and well taken care of. Huge shoutout to Josue for helping us secure both the room and our dinner reservation — he made the whole process effortless. And Chef Charlie at the chef’s counter was incredible. His food recommendations were spot on and truly elevated the entire dining experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, the room was cozy and comfortable, and the amenities were great. We celebrated our anniversary here and couldn’t have picked a better place. Thank you to the whole team for making it such a memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back.

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.

This was my second stay. The rooms are beautiful, the lighting is perfect, as are the amenities. Bed very comfy. The robes are wonderful. The service was just okay. Two room service orders took well over an hour to arrive (and if that's the case, fine, but don't say it will be up within 35-45 minutes) and a request for just a fork took nearly as long (I had brought some noodles back to my room but they were cold by the time the fork arrived). Only two bottles of complimentary water and no easy place to refill them seems cheap for a $1000 a night hotel room (and not replaced daily either). Shower had lame water pressure.

Our stay was amazing! Felt as if we were staying with family. As soon as we walked in they knew welcomed us and knew us. They even wished my daughter a Happy Birthday! They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Anything we needed they made sure they were there to help with whatever. Room was amazing and clean. Hotel Manager introduced himself and made me feel like family. Great staff and manager! Overall recommend this 100%!! Definitely will be coming back soon!

I like the aesthetic of the room. Clean, simple. Overall, customer support is ok. When I checked in, my hands were super full, and no one asked if I needed things sent up to the room or needed help. Odd for a reputable hotel. There is a gym. Nothing else. No spa. There is tiny, and beautiful Japanese garden. But it’s not like you can stay there. No seating. Also there is a constant loud noise of AC fans from the roof of the building. The restaurant is ok. It’s in the first floor, and there is smell that travels through the building. I ordered breakfast to the room. The deliver was ok. I was expecting more “good morning, do you want me to take off my shoes, can I enter?” But nope. Very super quick and bye. Not returning unfortunately. I’ll stick to the other high end hotels.
