This hotel is a gem. It's in an old historic building which is in itself a delight, with a Roman-style swimming pool and two shady patios resplendent with plants and flowers. The included breakfast can be rolls or eggs and bacon. The rooms themselves are not large, but are no means too small and are clean and comfortable. Having windows... more

My husband and I spent several pleasant nights here last month. I can't imagine staying anyplace else. If you are interested in architecture you find it all around you, even in the indoor pool. The 'continental' breakfast included a hot entree -- I wouldn't call it continental. The parking lot (nominal fee) was convenient, and we enjoyed the location. It... more

Berkeley City Club is unlike any hotel you've ever seen. In fact, from street level, you would be hard-pressed to figure out that it actually is a hotel! Built in 1925, it is an architectural marvel. The vaulted ceilings on the main floor, and the perfectly preserved period pool, make it worth the price of admission. It is a block... more

We recently stayed in the Berkeley City Club. When we opened the door to our room, we found that it was sweltering. So we opened the window. Surprise!!! There was no screen and no mechanism to keep the window open. Just a window lock and a hinge, so that the window would occasionally be blown shut by the wind with... more

I just returned form a week's stay at the Berkeley City Club. I adored it. I have to say, it really made my trip. The location is perfect: a block from UC's campus, the Berkeley art museum, and the Pacific Film Archives, close to many good restaurants and three movie theaters, and a 10-15 minute walk to the BART station.... more

The Berkeley City Club is a hidden gem next to the UC campus. My daughter was married there and we used most of the rooms for our guests. Guestrooms have recently been remodeled, and the beds were very, very comfortable. There is coffee and tea throughout the day and a complimentary breakfast with made to order eggs, hash browns, bacon,... more

I stayed at the Berkeley City Club with three of my siblings and two nephews and their spouses and two nieces. We all loved it. It is a great place for a family to meet. The building is so beautiful, the staff so friendly and the breakfast is delightful (Peet's coffee!). The Berkeley City Club was the highlight of our... more

The common areas of this hotel are beautiful. Amazing architecture and peaceful gardens - a perfect setting for an event such as a wedding. The rooms however, are seriously lacking. They are tiny - which would be alright if there were the standard conveniences such as A/C, TV, and a comfortable bed, but without those things it felt very cramped.... more

At first you'll feel and smell the oldish atmosphere of the hotel. But once you get past that it is beautiful both in architecture and accommodation. Great view too. I stayed 5 nights there with my wife when I visited UC Berkeley on a workshop. It is close to great restaurants and 2 blocks from Berkeley. The front desk is... more
