Love the old building, such a great piece of history for Berkeley. The architecture and pool were amazing. Plus the little quiet green space courtyard. Staff all very friendly. The room was comfortable and quaint. Great location too. Only downside was construction a few doors down, which started very early. And some college kids doing some workout chanting at 6:30 but you can’t fault the property for those.

Easy to walk to Greek Theater, Interesting history, good food! Beautiful indoor pool only available for lap swimming, no free swim. The bar doesn’t open till 4 pm & closes early. Expedia room gives you the one by the elevator.

The Berkeley City Club is a hidden gem in Berkeley. We love the beautiful architecture, courtyard, restaurant and bar there. It feels like you are stepping back in time and it's such a beautiful property. The bathrooms in the rooms have older fixtures but work very well and there was plenty of hot water with good water pressure. Beds were comfy and the property was very quiet at night. One room had a large step up to the bathroom, so ask for a room without this if you are concerned about tripping in the middle of the night or need an ADA accessible room. Some rooms are smaller than newer hotel properties, but there is a very large closet and many rooms have beautiful views. There was no tv in the rooms we have had, which we didn't miss at all. Parking is free and right next door. We have not had any issues the two times we have stayed/parked there. The common areas are so unique and gorgeous. Go for a swim, sit in the courtyard, and enjoy the large, included breakfast with many options. We will definitely be back.

“Beautiful historical hotel with so much character! I truly enjoyed the nostalgic feel of an era gone by — from the elegant architecture to the vintage charm throughout the property. It feels like stepping back in time while still enjoying modern comfort. A unique and memorable place to stay in Berkeley!”

If you like looking at historic property this is the place. If you are looking for a quiet get away without distractions this is the place. You can hear the other showers on the other floors and the vacuums through the floors. The pool is ok, swimming at night is a bit spooky.
