We recently stayed for one night at the Berkeley City Club (this was our second stay there). It remains a very cool building, the staff was friendly and helpful. Noise in this older hotel remains a bit of a problem. We have also stayed at other historic hotels in the area and did not have the same issue. The main... More

I loved this place. Designed by Julia Morgan the berkeley city club ranks very high on my favorites list. This architectural gem is very unique and is a wonderful place to stay. Its eye candy at every turn. Opulent, tasteful and absolutely beautiful. The rooms tho small are well appointed w very comfortable beds and million dollar views. The pool... More

THIS is a TRUE Gem in the Heart of UC Berkeley neighborhood. Parking was a snap (Hotel has their own paking lot) and the staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware, that this amazing historic timewarp in smack dab in the heart of energy so expect there to be noise- city construction and students. If you are not comfortable in... More

Architectural gem! If you talk to other guests in the elevator, you're sure to meet an architect. Attentive and alert staff! Very helpful, and willing to provide lots of tourist info. Adjacent parking! So handy. Ample breakfast! Exquisite buffet of real food. And service too. All walking distance to hip restaurants and campus. A+

The property is gorgeous and well maintained, built by the architect Julia Morgan as a womens' club. Today it is in part a residential hotel, part rooms for travellers. But ... and these are big buts ... The place can be very noisy since the first two floors are rented for weddings and other affairs. Two of the four nights... More

My daughter and I stayed at the Berkely City Club while touring colleges during her spring break. We could walk to the Berkeley tour, which was great since parking in Berkeley is difficult. There were restaurants walking distance as well. The hotel is like being transported in time to the 1930's. We loved it. If you are looking for a... More

They provide ear plugs next to your bed and you will probably need them. It is not just external noise from construction and the street but also, I believe, internal noise from the elevator. The hotel is very well situated near Sproul Hall and the college campus nd it well reflects the overall quirkiness of Berkeley: a sense of shabby... More

I love this hotel; I've stayed there three times and am booked for a fourth. It's beautiful -- the architecture, courtyards, swimming pool -- it's like stepping back in time. The rooms I've stayed in were very nicely appointed, and the view of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge are wonderful. However -- it's not the kind of hotel my... More

We stayed at the Berkeley City Club March 12-13th using a Groupon. Warmly greeted by Mary at check in she explained the parking situation, a lot adjacent to the hotel ($20 a night) or finding available street parking. After using their lot the first night we were fortunate to find street parking right outside the hotel for the second night.... More
