10/10 Exceptional

Clean and comfortable

Very pleasant small hotel. Room with King size bed was large enough, very clean and comfortable. Although on busy street, the room was very quiet. The one downside was that the dual-flush toilet needed multiple flushes to do the job, which rather defeated the purpose.

Love the Neighbor location and love the cofre at the café.

Kim, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

You could not find a better location if you're visiting Berkeley, in the heart of the gormet ghetto. Very walkable and convenient. My room was very clean, and quiet! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is just a little run down, but all the plusses totally compensated for that! I had a lovely stay with Sens and would stay there again!

What I liked

I like the bakery in front of the hotel that opens at 6:30 am, and they gave me a free coffee for each nights stay at the bakery. Good location on a main street in North Berkeley. Lots of room, and nice that rooms have a microwave and refrigerator. High end restaurants and grocery stores are nearby.

I was surprised at how nice this place was, and the surrounding area. The store next to the place is also amazing, we bought stuff and made dinner in our room!

Great stay!

Great stay at this hotel, it had everything I needed and appreciated the coffee in the morning. The bed was a bit firm, but it was okay. Would stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Once was enough

Great were the location and the proprietor. The bed was comfortable and the swag plentiful and nice. But an unpleasant odor, wallcovering buckled from water damage, drooping drapes, furnishings and decor a la yardsale, cracked sink, no conditioner, sound coming from adjacent rooms, peculiar entrance through a dismal coffee shop, and no parking all made for an overpriced stay not to be repeated.
Judith, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Super cute and comfortable and very lovely staff. A few places in the room that weren't spic and span, but they were minor. The location is convenient, the cafe is great and seems to be a real neighborhood hub, which we loved. Thanks for the stay!
Valerie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a barebones hotel, but they get everything right. If you want to be in Berkeley in a neighborhood, this is your place. The attached bistro opens at 6:30am and makes the best cappuccinos in the area against some stiff competition. Cheese Board pastries are just a few doors down. Good bus service right outside or a bit of a walk to BART.

Very cute little hotel in berkely, a bit far from the Greek, but its a good walk. Parking is well lit, but shared with a supermarket. Perfect for that short weekend getaway.
