One of the most beautiful buildings I've ever slept in. The continental breakfast was awesome.
Verified review

8/10 Very 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.

The hotel was lovely, very clean. The only down side was the lack of outlets in the room, there was only one outlet in the whole room, but I guess thats to be expected in an old building such as this one. Otherwise, no complaints. We had a lovely stay.

This is a historic hotel and I relished being able to experience it. The restaurant was like being in a movie. The included buffet breakfast was amazing. The whole hotel made me feel like I was part of history.

A very charming stay overall. Our room, being right next to the elevator, could get noisy at times, but the convenience of the location and the property’s character more than made up for it.

Berkeley City Club is an historic hotel and that means you have to be willing to accept some limitations of an older building, especially as compared to newer hotels. So - smaller rooms, smaller bathrooms, no in-room TV, no air conditioning. If you're ok with that, the Berkeley City Club is otherwise charming, with friendly staff, beautiful architecture and complimentary breakfast - a lot to like!

This place is charming, probably haunted, you know the deal. Rich history, a lil stuffy but still very Berkeley. They upgraded me to a suite which had excellent views of the bay. It was a lil funky but very nice. The tub was excellent but the shower was leaky, like while filling the tub. Anyway, it was a splurge for a night out going to a show at the Greek theater. Lovely short walk through campus to get there. Spencer at the front desk was super friendly and kind! I wish I got to use the pool but, no time. Next time 😌 oh and the breakfast was decent! Overall this place draws an older crowd, as a 30’s queer nonbinary single person I wasn’t super excited to hang out with folks in the bar or restaurant but, I enjoyed my stay.
