The property is beautiful! The staff was very welcoming. The person that checked me in was very friendly and helpful after I arrived way too early. They made sure my bags were stored so I could go grab food. They also picked out a room with a view of the Golden Gate.

I truly enjoyed my stay at Berkeley City Club Hotel! As a solo traveler that spends lots of weeks on the road, this was a beautiful, safe, and classy place to stay. The history of the building shines through its character. There are lots of activities happening throughout the hotel -- I often heard someone playing the piano as I walked downstairs, or music lessons going on. The parking lot is incredibly convenient, and the staff are caring and welcoming. I grabbed a drink at the hotel bar, Morgan's, and loved the atmosphere. The hotel is right by the Cal campus, so there were students roaming up and down the streets on occasion. Overall, an incredible experience -- if you are in the area and looking for somewhere to stay, this is it!

What a hidden gem! This is a beautiful hotel with a rich history. Safe onsite parking and walking distance to Berkeley campus and the Greek theater. Friendly staff and volunteers. Only downside was the bar/lounge and restaurant was closed when we were there (Sunday/Monday) which I get but I think if there are guests, you should be open. But the lounge was open so we brough our own drinks and enjoyed the ambiance. Wonderful continental breakfast included in stay. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

The hotel is amazing! Historical and cultural! Loved it!! The night we stayed was a wedding and play , the Resturaunt was overwhelmed and unable to seat us , the bar was as overwhelmed,, There was a lot going on and we couldn’t view some of the areas The complimentary breakfast was very pleasant the next day and the hotel it was much quieter! I do recommend it, but maybe not on a Saturday night with a wedding and play going on!

This is a beautiful historic property which is also a private club. Built in 1929 so this gorgeous structure has some aging issues. You know that as a guest. No TV, and no AC. You can deal. But as an owner you need to be responsible. So when the bathroom sink leaked and the closet light didn't work, we reported those things as we left for a 4 hour hospital treatment. When we returned nothing had been done. They miscommunicated about the maintenance and didn't have another room. So we decided to leave. At departure they then offered an upgrade to another room, but couldn't refund the night we hadn't used although we were checking out before 1:00pm. I won't stay again, but you must see the building because it is a treasure. Not the management, but the building.
