Love the old building, such a great piece of history for Berkeley. The architecture and pool were amazing. Plus the little quiet green space courtyard. Staff all very friendly. The room was comfortable and quaint. Great location too. Only downside was construction a few doors down, which started very early. And some college kids doing some workout chanting at 6:30 but you can’t fault the property for those.

Easy to walk to Greek Theater, Interesting history, good food! Beautiful indoor pool only available for lap swimming, no free swim. The bar doesn’t open till 4 pm & closes early. Expedia room gives you the one by the elevator.

The Berkeley City Club is a hidden gem in Berkeley. We love the beautiful architecture, courtyard, restaurant and bar there. It feels like you are stepping back in time and it's such a beautiful property. The bathrooms in the rooms have older fixtures but work very well and there was plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Beds were comfy and the property was very quiet at night. One room had a large step up to the bathroom, so ask for a room without this if you are concerned about tripping in the middle of the night or need an ADA accessible room. Some rooms are smaller than newer hotel properties, but there is a very large closet and many rooms have beautiful views. There was no tv in the rooms we have had, which we didn't miss at all. Parking is free and right next door. We have not had any issues the two times we have stayed/parked there. The common areas are so unique and gorgeous. Go for a swim, sit in the courtyard, and enjoy the large, included breakfast with many options. We will definitely be back.

“Beautiful historical hotel with so much character! I truly enjoyed the nostalgic feel of an era gone by — from the elegant architecture to the vintage charm throughout the property. It feels like stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comfort. A unique and memorable place to stay in Berkeley!”

If you like looking at historic property this is the place. If you are looking for a quiet get away without distractions this is the place. You can hear the other showers on the other floors and the vacuums through the floors. The pool is ok, swimming at night is a bit spooky.

This is a community gathering place (plays, dances, weddings...) that is also a hotel. It has been faithfully / lovingly preserved as it was envisioned 100 years ago. It has a character and beauty not found in many contemporary hotels. What I particularly love about the hotel: the simple, beautiful room illuminated with natural light, the plant-filled atrium where one can have a quiet conversation or picnic meal among tree ferns and hummingbirds, and the galleries leading to one beautiful setting after another. This is my go-to place to stay when visiting Berkeley.

Believe the pictures. This is an architecturally interesting property, but it seems the owners are not investing in its upkeep. The rooms are not meant for business travelers - no desk, no proper chair to sit. The wifi in my room was not reliable. The furniture seems old but not in a stylish kind of way. Very clean linens on an old mattress. I was not welcomed by the desk clerk when I arrived. Instead the clerk told me they had cancelled my reservation because of my late arrival. I got the sense that the clerk felt they were doing me a favor to check in The towels were changed each day and the bed made, which I appreciated. And the linens were fresh. The breakfast feels rationed. They only serve a very limited menu for a short window. Don’t come before 7:00 AM and don’t come after 9:30 AM. There are few restaurants in the area.
