"A very nice hotel. We had the 2 queen + sofa bed reserved for 2 people. It was very roomy and pretty sound-proof. It had two TVs and a full-equipped kitchenette with a fantastic microwave. The breakfasts were very tasty. Situated right next to the campus with a lot of good and not that expensive restaurants around."

"We spent 5 nights in around Christmas time when we were visiting a family member studying at UC Berkeley. It was conveniently located to visit the university. Since it was holiday season, we can't tell if it's always quiet, but we didn't hear any noise at night. The room was nice enough. Clean, well proportioned. We could cast Netflix from our phone. We didn't eat any meals there (the breakfast cafe was closed and the bar/restaurant was mostly closed). But one evening, we had two glasses of wine from the bar. It was served in the bar room, but they only had a wagon with open bottles of wine and plastic cups. It was shockingly expensive - we could easily buy a good bottle for the price of these two plastic cups (not even particularly generous). One other thing that bothered us was that they had a glass door to the bathroom. It was opaque enough so that we didn't see through it, but every time one of us used it at night, it brightened the whole bedroom. Also, whatever anyone did in the bathroom was very clearly audible from the bedroom. So, the best points for this hotel were location and reasonable price (for the room). Not for those who want luxury and comfort."

Hotel Shattuck Plaza ★★★★
"The front staff was very helpful and friendly during our stayed, we really had a good time. Food was good and location is very convenient to move around with TARGET just around the corner and many restaurants nearby too. Will be back to stay in the same hotel if we visit Berkeley again."

Residence Inn by Marriott Berkeley ★★★★
"This hotel is right next to Berkeley, so the location is fantastic. There are tons of Chinese restaurants nearby, making dining incredibly convenient, and there's a supermarket just a minute's walk away. The rooms are clean and tidy, and the breakfast is really good too. Great value for money!"

University Inn & Suites Berkeley ★★
"It's a bit old, the room facilities are a bit outdated, there are small bugs flying around on the first floor, there is a Burger King opposite the surrounding area, the check-in experience is average, the front desk is more humane and let us check in early"

Downtown Berkeley YMCA Hotel and Residence ★★
"The location is a bit hard to find, but the staff were very friendly. The guests were also very welcoming. Located in downtown Berkeley, it's conveniently located with easy access to parking and banks. There's also a free gym nearby, a fully equipped shared kitchen, and very clean shared bathrooms. For expensive San Francisco, this price is definitely worth it."

Nash Hotel ★★
"If this is considered a hotel, then the guesthouses in the village are better than this😳 The hygiene is too poor! The quilt on the bed, I guess someone else didn't change it after sleeping on it, there were blood stains and everything on it, On the first day, it was too late at night, so I had no choice but to stay. On the second day, I asked for a change, but the other party actually told you to change the sheets yourself, saying that the waiter was not on duty that dayAfter we refused to change the sheets ourselves, I guess it was the boss who said that I had to change it myself, and he was only willing to change one bed! What era is this? I don't know how a place that is not as good as a hostel can think of being on this platform, The fee is not cheap, I strongly recommend that Ctripdo an on-site evaluation of the selected hotels in the future, and you can't just add the platform to payand then pretend to be a hotel on the platform! This kind of store is too horrible, and it has seriously affected the reputation of the Ctrip platform itself."
