10/10 Exceptional

I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend. Well designed & curated rooms with comfortable bed, quiet/peaceful, as well as an abundance of third spaces downstairs (lobby, study/library, bar/cafe) for meetings or work. The staff were all quite friendly and helpful, and the location is ideal. I'll be having our team stay here for all future Berkeley based projects.

10/10 Exceptional

Love the character of this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was delicous! The room size and decor was great. The bed was a little firm for me but I managed to sleep very well so it all worked out fine. I would stay here again.

Great location next to campus and walking distance to foodie outings like Chez Panisse and the Elmwood district. Rooms were small and a little cramped - we found it surprising that the sink was in the bedroom not bathroom with had shower/toilet only.

I stay here every time I come to Berkeley. Always clean, well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

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?

I love this hotel so close to all the restaurants and campus, the only negative the room we stayed at the shower doesn’t have a strong pressure and the water is either cold or hot. Otherwise the rooms are clean .

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend.
Room keys are past Cal students

Verified review

Perfect location for UC Berkeley. Kind staff and proper university feeling. Hotel is a bit worn and the rooms are small. Breakfast is nice, but voucher-system gives less choice.
