Stayed two nights: The location is great but that is the only positive thing I can say. The bed was so old it sagged in the middle, the blanket was just a pilled, old & nasty. The window in the room could not be closed due to a makeshift screen. This was a problem because the exhaust & smells from the curry resturant located on the first floor wafted constantly into the room. It was naueating and made my cloths stink. The towels appeared to have been recently used upon our arrival. The handtowels were bathmats. The sink had peeling & moldy cauking. For this experience I paid $240 US. Certainly not worth it.

I read the reviews before booking our room and admit I was a bit worried. Quickly realized that the people who don't like this hotel need more than most of us. The room was fine, location is great, and the food is awesome. We loved our stay and will go back.

Was in town for my sister-in-law's Cal soccer game. Found Beau Sky online, looked at a few reviews which seemed pretty good, and the location looked good on a map, so I booked it. Got about 3 hours of sleep all night. The stench of curry permeates every inch of the hotel (from the Indian restaurant on the ground floor). Despite the windows being closes, could hear EVERYTHING going on outside, which was A LOT since it was the night before Halloween and the college kids were going absolutely nuts. We had to endure drunken screaming until 3:30am. And to make it even worse, the bed was such a joke it was almost like sleeping in a hammock. The mattress was so old and soft you'd sink in and practically disappear. We left the next morning at 7am, exhausted, sore, and stinking of curry.

A three-story mansion in its previous life, Beau Sky Hotel stands now as a converted hotel at the edge of UC Berkeley campus, on top of a fantastic Indian/Pakistani restaurant.

Travelers looking for the sheen of a conventional high-end hotel would be wise to go down the street to Hotel Durant; Beau Sky's charms are more subtle for those who can appreciate a quirky, owner-run hotels that is nonetheless clean and professional. Would definitely stay again.
