The hotel is across the street from the campus and very close to Memorial Stadium. My room was nice, small, but functional. I had a conference in the Faculty Club and it was a very short walk. The place also has a rooftop areas which is available to guests. I took advantage of a warm, clear night and could see DT San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge's lights. There is also a large common room on the second floor that very cozy and great if you have any work to do while staying in the hotel. There was no elevator, so if you have trouble with stairs, look somewhere else.

very conveniently located, walking distance to UC berkeley and telegraph avenue. bus stop across the street, if you need to go farther. organic cotton linens made in italy (not in exploited labor china), organic EO toiletries, complimentary continental breakfast. the staff made soy milk available to me upon request. front desk employees are exceptional. i would like to recognize mickey, mike, and brenna. i requested a room not facing noisy bancroft way and was accommodated. one small point: an elevator is in order.

A very nice boutique hotel. I believe it was originally built as a women's college in 1928, so manage expectations. The rooms were very clean and quite small. Located next to the Cal Art Museum very close to the South Gate to campus, it is also a bit noisy. Overall, would consider staying there again, but maybe not on weekends, when the students can get a bit loud.

The Bancroft Hotel is beautiful. The rooms are beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast was sufficient. The location in regards to UC Berkeley, downtown Berkeley and the student hustle and bustle can't be beat. That's one reason why it is so noisy. UC Berkeley across the street (sporting event festivities go into the night), a very good but busy and noisy coffeeshop next door, constant street noise, toilets make noise all night long, i.e. bring earplugs. I didn't get a lot of sleep, but I did enjoy my 2 nights there. PS Ask for a room away from the coffeshop and street.
