What guests say
8.2 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 220 guest reviews
SenS Hotel earns consistently positive sentiment, driven almost unanimously by its prime location in Berkeley's 'Gourmet Ghetto', walkable to UC Berkeley, BART, and acclaimed restaurants, paired with genuinely warm, helpful staff. The main recurring frustrations are the complete absence of on-site parking (which guests feel is inadequately flagged at booking), noise transmission between rooms, and ageing soft furnishings like carpets that need attention. It offers solid value for budget-conscious travellers who don't need a car, but those expecting full hotel amenities may find it modest.
