What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 401 guest reviews
The Berkeley City Club Hotel earns consistently strong sentiment for its stunning 1929 Julia Morgan architecture, characterful public spaces, and well-regarded breakfast, with guests frequently comparing a stay to living inside a museum or travelling to Europe. However, the guest rooms themselves draw repeated criticism for being small and lacking modern conveniences such as air conditioning, TVs, fridges, and reliable Wi-Fi — a trade-off visitors must consciously accept. Those who embrace the historic, boutique nature of the property tend to leave delighted; those seeking contemporary hotel comforts may find it falls short.
