Top Historic Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect! Room was nice. Fitness Center had everything I needed. And saving $25 off of breakfast was a bonus. We will definitely stay here again!"

Berkeley City Club

8/10 Good

"Everything was wonderful, the ambience and history is rich and romantic BUT the beds were extremely uncomfortable and hard and the pillows are as thin as pancakes. The rooms are tiny but I guess you can expect that from a building built in the 1920’s. The restaurant was delicious and had lots of allergy accommodations."

Sather Berkeley, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were super friendly and helpful. My bathroom sink had something stuck in it and the sheets had a funky smell."

Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Accommodating & courteous staff. A local gem. Nothing fancy- but good enough for basic needs! No bed bugs & no complaints :)"

Sonesta Emeryville - San Francisco Bay Bridge

8/10 Good

"Parking is pricey. Breakfast is convenient and the rooms are reasonable. Location is great with proximity to food and shops."

Sens Hotel & Vanne Bistro Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in the gourmet ghetto."

Nash Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"No short term parking at entrance, but people seem to double park with impunity. Ring the bell and someone will let you in; take elevator to Mezzanine to check in. Real keys--one for front door, one for the room. Comfortable bed. Fridge with separate freezer (no ice tray), single serve coffee maker, microwave and hot water kettle. King room with bath had closet with hangers, iron and ironing board. Hair dryer in dresser drawer. No outlets in bathroom, mirror over desk. Nash Cafe next door open 5pm til late. 2 blocks to Downtown Berkeley BART station, 2 blocks to edge of Cal Berkeley campus. Lots of restaurants, shops and bars nearby. Check for Farmer's Market schedule. Note: parking at Center Street garage is (in September 2026) $25 per day PLUS $25 overnight."

Charming baseball themed 2-story building with cable TV, wi-fi & stereo system.

8/10 Good

"good"

Remodeled Cottage in Trendy Berkeley/Oakland Rockridge Area

10/10 Excellent

"The cottage did not seem newly remodeled; scuffs on walls, the bath linens and some of the furniture somewhat worn, but I give it 5 stars because it felt comfortable, clean enough, safe, quiet, and close enough to BART (about 12 minutes walk for me) and cafes so I didnt need a car, that was very convenient! Also, Chris was responsive and helpful."
