Summary: If you want to be near Berkeley Campus, this boutique hotel is super cute! The theming is great, the rooms are cozy and retro yet have all the modern amenities. Gym was quite nice for a small hotel. The bar was appreciated as well! Parking was easy (not cheap). Would 100% stay again!

Summary: As a single mom, I came there for a school conference, but found the best part to be the wildly comfortable bed with a substantial / down-type comforter excellent pillows and blockout curtians.

Summary: If you never had a chance to visit Russia when it was still the Soviet Union, the Graduate hotel in Berkeley will giive you a sense of what an Inturist hotel was like. The desk clerks don't smile; they lock the doors at night after about 11; there's one very slow elevator to serve hte rooms on six floors; and you wait in line for 15 or 20 minutes to place your order for breakfast, if you get into line before hte croissants and muffins run out. Oh, and the internet is very slow.

Summary: A tired, old hotel that is well situated for going to see a show at the Greek.
Phil Jul 20, 2025 11:09:18 PM
Summary: Classic historical hotel built in the mid 1920’s now owned by Hilton. The rooms are old charm and reflect the history of Cal Berkeley. This hotel is just a 7 minute walk to the campus entrance. Immediately outside the hotel is a good variety of shops and places to eat around the neighborhood. My complaint is the hotel food and service. We were tired and ate an early dinner at the hotel. Food choices were limited and pricey but you had a waitress. My beef is the breakfast. Instead of sit down with a waitress you Get in line order and wait. Breakfast sandwich was a greasy egg and sausage Pattie on a hamburger bun. The coffee tasted like instant (same as in the rooms) and my daughter’s Matcha drink was terrible. I expected better from a Hilton owned property and the hotel manager needs to take notice. Again, go OUTSIDE the hotel for all your meals! I won’t make that mistake again

Summary: Staff was super friendly , room was clean
Gabriel Jul 4, 2025 11:35:31 AM
Summary: Hotel was great, the staff was friendly and the rooms were nice. The restaurant downstairs wasn’t for me but there is a lot of food options within 2 blocks.
Jianshun Jun 23, 2025 09:11:55 AM
Summary: Overall we had good experience except one major issue: the sliding bathroom door failed and locked m daughter inside until I use a cloth hanger to crank it on one end to force it open. We told front desk and they sent someone to fix it but failed. So we had to leave the bathroom door open for the remains time of our stay, which is really inconvenient to say the list!
Joy Jun 16, 2025 09:54:39 AM
Summary: Always a fun option. The rooms are small, decorated with university of CA, Berkeley swag. Easy check in and a place to park which is valuable in Berkeley. Decent food on site, thousands of restaurants within walking distance as is the University.
