My wife and I stayed here on August 14. 2023. The place was comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was also located just a hop and skip away from University Drive and was close to Stanford University. The hotel check-in and check-out was quick; the staff was attentive and helpful. There is parking along the side of the building and a nice Italian restaurant, with outdoor seating, on the bottom floor. It is a bit difficult to see the sign for the building, but Waze took us to the correct spot.
Thank you El Prado Hotel for a relaxing stay and wonderful experience! We enjoyed it very much. The room was very spacious and very clean. Loved the social spaces for guests and it’s right in the heart of all great restaurants and retail. No need to travel far. Will definitely go back and stay here.
Limited common space and amenities. Ice only available through room service.
The staff was superb: attentive and extremely pleasant. The location could not be better. The room (we had a suite) was quite large and very comfortable and the bathroom was very nice (separate tub and shower in all marble). I will definitely stay again when we come back to visit family again. El PRADO was one of the best boutique hotels we stayed at in the US.
I was here on business, Pulled up in front of the hotel, valet was quick and easy. Check in process was fast, the front desk staff last night were super friendly. I got up to my room and it was clean and quiet. The bed was soooo soft. They had a fully stocked robobar and some snacks. I ate the cheesepuffs! its great that they had this in room, I didn't have to leave. The shower was hot! loved it. Room was quiet, I didn't hear anyone the whole time I was there. I looked at the room service menu, they had some items I definitely would have tried but I ate before I arrived. All in all a great experience, i'd definitely stay here again!
Beautiful and quiet hotel on the edge of all the downtown activities. Beautiful room with elegant finishes.
Was here for a late night mixer and company event. Hotel is modern and classy. The terrace in the event space had a special feeling overlooking the street below. Food and drinks at the event were great. Staff were friendly and happy to serve all the guests at the event.
We had a day conference at the hotel so we didn’t actually stay in a room so can’t say about the experience there.
Located in downtown palo alto with everything being a walkable distance. Parking on the weekend is easy on the street or a free parking garage across the street, which usually is 3hrs on weekdays.
Valet was interesting as they didn’t know how to drive a manual but nevertheless still super nice. $20 for whole day parking aint bad tbh
Conference room was spacious and had nice views, food and everything was okay, but service was a little lacking when they served lunch. (Had to wait like 5 min for them to restock the main course when it was buffet style)
Overall good vibes and nice views, and definitely on the higher end
