I've stayed at this hotel five times over the past two years, so I can confidently say that I highly recommend this boutique hotel! Wonderful and safe location, great staff, and best of all, Henry's gastropub! (Definitely recommend their martinis and angry mac & cheese, and their breakfast/brunch is also fantastic). The rooms are on the smaller side, and there... More

Very awesome hotel, unique, great service. Loved it. Get a room on the Executive Level, worth the extra cost. We had the Durant Room, great view. The rooms are small, but very unique. Quiet as well. Staff was very friendly and having Henry's right there was very convenient.

This is a nice funky place - a renovation from a very old building. On the very good side: friendly staff - very helpful. Nice, fun bar. GREAT location if you are there for UC Berkeley (I was attending conference there). You don't really need a car because so much is in walking distance - including campus. They clearly spent... More

Great bar , friendly service, pretty good price, good location .....noisey, dated, small parking spot if you drive anything bigger than a Datsun you'd be on trouble . Overall nit great, but pretty good

The Hotel Durant is surrounded by U.C. Berkeley and near Telegraph Avenue. As a green hotel, it has no air conditioning, but rooms have ceiling fans and windows to open. I enjoyed my stay there, but was slightly annoyed by the amount of street noise (read rowdy partying at all hours of the weekend nights) that came through my open... More

I really enjoyed everything at the Hotel Durant. From the bar to the food - but especially the room and the view. The staff is so friendly. The way it is decorated is perfect for the Berkeley community. Where else will you find a bong as a lamp in your room? Or a paper "sock" to hang on the door... More

Stayed at The Durant because my son was visiting Cal. We would never stay there again. Dingy rooms, dark lobby, no breakfast service. We paid extra for "breakfast" which turned out to be a pathetic offering of cold hard boiled eggs, yoghurt and bread, which was put out late. I do not recommend this property even though the Cal theme... More

We were on a college tour and this warm friendly hotel was a haven. Just a short walk to the metro and you are in downtown San Francisco in 40 minutes. The continental breakfast is really worth it. This hotel made for a perfect trip.
