Top Historic Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Sather Berkeley, SureStay Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good

"Very friendly staff. The bathroom was large and very nice. It was clean and quiet. Close to many restaurants."

Berkeley City Club

8/10 Good

"Location cannot be beat if you want to be near the Berkeley campus. The building is beautiful and historic and there are parties every single weekend. My only complaint was that our bed was quite hard and uncomfortable. So much so that we checked out a day earlier than planned so we could get some sleep!"

Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean room with some age / wear-and-tear visible on the floor and bathroom area. Room relies on fan for cooling, but Berkeley was cool at night, so no issues there. Very convenient location right off of University Drive, so quick to get most places in Berkeley."

Aiden by Best Western Berkeley

8/10 Good

"Nice location near downtown, the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, explained everything thoroughly. The room was small-ish but clean and comfortable. Their parking situation was the only challenge, SUV type vehicles, and larger are not allowed, they suggest a couple of lots away from the property (we did not explore the distance from the hotel). We were there on a Sunday, so street parking was available without fees. Breakfast was offered, but we left early to avoid charges for parking on the street. If you have a small car, or no car, prob a good place to stay, The challenge of parking was our only issue."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful, and the restaurant serving staff were especially courteous and helpful."

University Inn & Suites Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

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