“Perfect when visiting your student at Cal.”

Very nice rooms. Bathrooms are extremely small, although nicely redone. Hotel was built in 1928, so not surprising.

When to go

My daughter stayed at Cal over Thanksgiving. We went to be with her. WONDERFUL. Area was very quiet, but nice... and everything is easier! Rates at the hotel were MUCH better than the rest of the year.

“great location, good older hotel”

Great location for UC Berkeley, great staff, comfortable room. Squeaky old floor and clanky radiator the only complaints I can think of.

Area recommendations

Great coffee shop just around the corner on Bancroft.

“Nice place”

I stayed at the Hotel Durant with a colleague. We met there with another member of our team for management meetings. We had the board room for a day and it was quiet and comfortable. Good internet and Henry's restaurant had a great breakfast (we ate there pretty much every morning) and was also a great place for a nightcap. Overall, The staff was helpful and courteous, the rooms were comfortable and the entire hotel is well maintained. I was very impressed and it will definitely be my choice the next time I'm in Berkeley.

Comment from the hotel's management

Thank you for your kind words on both the staff and Henry’s the restaurant here at the Hotel Durant. Not many people know that we have meeting spaces available on site that can accommodate a wide range of events from a small meeting to a holiday party. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

“disappointed”

Very small room, reminiscent of a 1970s college dorm room. The closet was actually larger than the bathroom. I liked the deep bathtub but the sink was very small and too shallow to fill a water bottle. The mattress was uncomfortable and the bed was very low. Although the outside noise was dampened, it was quite noticeable above us. We were able to find free parking relatively close on the street .

Comment from the hotel's management

We were sorry to hear about your disappointment and do appreciate the feed back. We will be working with each department to make the necessary updates and hope that you choose to stay with us on your next visit to Berkeley area.

“Very kind and helpful staff”

Great location, very close to the UC Berkeley campus and many shops and restaurants. Very warm welcome, clean room, very pleasant room temperature. Free WiFi in the entire hotel and rooms. Free computer with Internet and printer in the hotel lobby. The hotel has its own restaurant, though I did not eat there. Price was a little too high for the services provided.

Comment from the hotel's management

Thank you for taking the time to tell readers a little about the amenities that the Hotel Durant has. Along with the amenities, the location and personality of the Hotel Durant certainly make it an ideal place to stay when you are in the Berkeley area and our staff is always ready to meet and exceed each of our guests needs. We hope to welcome you back soon.

“Nice hotel, but internet too slow”

Lovely hotel with character and in a great location. Internet access is "free" with the option to pay extra for a faster connection with VPN ability. However, internet access speed (basic and upgraded) were ridiculously slow (wireless and ethernet), and frustrating if you wanted to work.

Area recommendations

Berkeley is well worth exploring. Great restaurants.

“Fabulous hotel”

Booked a night a the Hotel Durant on our way out of San Francisco heading to Yosemite National Park. The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful. Our room was fantastic, I think we stayed on the executive level because we had access to a complimentary lounge which had snacks and breakfast that we could help ourselves to.

Comment from the hotel's management

We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our upgraded amenities on the Executive floor and appreciate the kind words. Additional details: For those who have not stayed with us, or executive floor is not only on our top floor of the Hotel Durant but is includes access to our Graduate Lounge.

“Cozy room in a cool old building”

It was fine. The room was smallish but cozy. Nice minibar (a rarity these days) and cute decor. Very clean. Very friendly staff that gave good directions to where we were going. The only real complaint we had was that the towels were not at all nice (thin and small) and the shower wasn't the greatest.

Nightlife

15 minute walk to Greek Theater. We picked this hotel because we wanted to see a show there. Perfect location for that!
