Berkeley City Club Hotel Reviews

Very fond memories. The hotel has a strong retro atmosphere and a long history. I am very lucky to meet you.

Clean room, good service attitude

The hotel is very simple, the price is high, it is worth experiencing.

Very historical!

Loved this beautiful, historic property. The architecture and the picturesque pool were worth the visit. Enjoyed the breakfast and friendly staff as well.

The architecture and decor are an amazing representation of Julia Morgan's style. The pool is exquisite! Weekend stay can be noisy as the location is close to the UC campus.

...a great fan of the Berkeley Club ...one or two observations...check in was a little slow, seemed as though the desk was a little short handed at the check in time of 3pm...also, water pressure on floor 6 was a little weak, probably due to everyone wanting to shower @ 7am, as I did... ...minor points though...have always really liked the place...

Excellent location and stunning property. Unique in that has pool, laundry, fitness center and restaurant on site. The architecture of the building is stunning.

This is an historic building; one cannot deny that. Unless your home is historic, however, you may not be aware of all that the "historic" label entails, including: small rooms, almost zero available outlets, really tricky climate control [the radiator had a vendetta against my sleep habits], small beds, tiny bathrooms with zero counter space. Now, fans of "historic properties" will tut tut these concerns, and that's lovely! For the rest of us, know before you buy...

Overall this was a wonderful stay! Absolutely beautiful grounds, very helpful staff, amazing array of amenities (longer you stay the more you find!) and very well maintained. The only thing I think it's important to know is that the room are quite outdated - very clean and nice - but outdated, which makes sense given the history and aesthetic of the whole place. Check their site for events and experiences during your stay because there are always tons. And the breakfast was fantastic :)

Lovely original Julia Morgan designed facility. Food was excellent and the pool was awesome.

We loved seeing this iconic property designed by Julia Morgan. We had a lovely time in the Morgan Room before and after our dinner. We were given a complimentary drink ticket at Morgan’s. In the morning there was a delicious continental breakfast with Quiche Lorraine and other delicious items. The staff was very personable and accommodating.

Very much enjoyed staying in this classic hotel. Designed by the same architect that designed Hearst Castle, It has beautiful public spaces with beautful carved wood and tile. The rooms are old with fixtures from the 1920's or 30's but comfortable and functional. Staff was friendly; breakfast included and was a step above the Hampton Inn style breakfast. The hotel is dark in part because of the dark wood but also because of the lighting-perhaps some LED lighting might help that. Location is spectacular-two blocks from UC Berkeley campus but surprisingly quiet. Our room had a view of the Bay. I would gladly stay there again. The place has character.

What a beautiful and historic structure! We very much enjoyed our stay which felt like a step back in time to an era of elegance. Breakfast was bountiful and delicious.
