Top Historic Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Hotel Shattuck Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Stellar customer service!!"

Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a lovely older one; has been bought by Hilton but maintains its unique elegance. Rooms were comfortable but a little smaller than a typical newer modern room so just a heads up. Still roomy enough but just a little surprised when I saw it. Did not affect enjoyment of the stay. But the little touches each room has, the art and wallpapers give a special feel. Yana at front desk gave above-and-beyond service and we will definitely return. Great staff, comfy beds, great toiletry products, nice bar/restaurant. What’s not to love?"

Berkeley City Club

8/10 Good

"The indoor pool facility was great as were the indoor dining options. This was my second trip staying at the Berkeley City Club and I have no doubt that I will be returning soon."

"Clean, helpful, friendly and accommodating. One suggestion. When making reservations, it should be advised that an additional amount will be charged for parking before paying or reserving. The parking is an additional price to the hotel room."
