This was my first visit to the Berkeley City Club Hotel, and I absolutely fell in love with it. The building is a historic Berkeley landmark, beautifully preserved and refreshingly unspoiled. It made me want to linger indoors, which is easy to do with its inviting amenities—an indoor swimming pool, a restaurant, a bar, and plenty of cozy spots to sit and relax both inside and out. My room was charming and spotless. It was nicely furnished with an armchair and a writing desk, and a large window that looked out over the parking lot and a portion of the UC campus. The bed felt like a twin but was very comfortable. The bathroom, though small, was beautifully tiled—clean, with reliably hot water and thick towels. For two people sharing, the size might be a bit tight, but it worked well for me. There’s no air conditioning, but my room had a ceiling fan, which was more than sufficient during my stay. It was about 65° during the day, and given that Berkeley’s climate is similar to San Francisco’s, I imagine it’s only an issue for a few weeks out of the year. Still, something to consider if you’re especially sensitive to heat. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and would love a longer stay to really soak it all up. Highly recommended!

Standard rooms are basic. Door handle on bathroom was broken — the door would only stay shut when you were inside it and locked the door. Great history but tired.

I arrived not knowing where to enter the building. There is no signage. The receptionist was kind, however when giving me the keys to my room, she said the room number out loud. (Thought this was a big no no.). The room was fine and bed was comfortable. The first morning, I hung the do not disturb sign on door. I am one person and don't need my room cleaned. When I returned to my room, I noticed that it had been entered. This made me feel very uncomfortable.

Such a lovely and original hotel! If you like character over commercial, this is the place for you! Beautiful art deco features, a friendly staff, a lovely bar and gorgeous complimentary breakfast beyond the normal fare, and sweet rooms with just enough space for all! Will definitely be booking again for all my return trips to the area!

Historic property in a great location. Very accessible and easy walk in and around the university, friendly and helpful staff, but no coffee makers in the room, no TV’s in the rooms and poor water pressure for showering. The little things do add up.

Lovely stay in a gorgeous historic hotel

We stayed just one night, but wished we could have stayed longer! Comfy bed, lovely room & bath, and scrumptious breakfast. Fantastic view of the bay, GG Bridge, and SF in the distance. Excellent to be able to walk to Cal Performances on campus. We also spent a lot to time admiring the beautiful architecture and decor of the building. The wonderful staff is so lucky to be able to enjoy it daily!
