Berkeley City Club

not a very comfortable room but ok. Breakfast ok. Julia's wonderful.

Superb breakfast buffet. Bar menu very good with coupon at check-in for free drink with food. Charming room.

The building is historic and interesting, the rooms are simple but comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious, with quiche, gluten free options, etc. the lounge was also very cozy and chill. Did not get a chance to eat at the restaurant, but it looked good. Would definitely stay again. Very vintage vibes, very picturesque. It was easy to find parking on the street. Lots of shops & restaurants in walking distance.

Everything was lovely. Beautiful building, nice room, excellent continental breakfast. I will certainly stay here again if I can. Only suggestion (may not be possible) a small fridge would be nice. But loved it from first to last.

Excellent customer service.

I really wanted to visit this hotel when I first discovered it and it did not disappoint! It was so cool to stay in a historical landmark. Learning more about Julia Morgan was so fascinating. She lived a fascinating life. She was one of the first woman to be a licensed architect in California and design 700 buildings including homes! The main attraction for me was the pool. When I heard she had designed Hearst Castle I knew that I just had to swim in Berkeley City Clubs pool! I had such an enjoyable time during my visit!

Well maintained, clean property

This old hotel is nice. Rooms are very tiny (at least ours was) and there is no air conditioning. Using the pool can be challenging with a particular schedule and swim cap required. It's in the heart of town and near to campus which is great - and comes with the natural night sounds of people/traffic into the wee hours (which is a even louder with the windows open). The continental breakfast was fine/good.

Treasure of a property!

So clean, incredibly friendly staff, beautiful hotel. We really loved it.

Recommend

They upgraded me to a suite which had excellent views of the bay. It was a lil funky but very nice. The tub was excellent but the shower was leaky, like while filling the tub. Anyway, it was a splurge for a night out going to a show at the Greek theater. Lovely short walk through campus to get there. Spencer at the front desk was super friendly and kind! I wish I got to use the pool but, no time. Next time 😌 oh and the breakfast was decent! Overall this place draws an older crowd, as a 30’s queer nonbinary single person I wasn’t super excited to hang out with folks in the bar or restaurant but, I enjoyed my stay.

Clean room helpful staff

Beautiful, amazing stay. We will be back:)

Beautiful historic building, great architecture, handsome fixtures, beautiful public rooms, carpets, furniture, and well-maintained garden area with great plants, seating, and small koi pond. Very good food and service in the bar (Morgan's) as well as the gorgeous dining room (Julia's). Attentive, friendly staff at front desk. Great location near the university and Early Music concert venues, mostly churches. Left the car in the nextdoor lot (effective gates for entering and leaving) and walked to the concerts. The elevators worked well and provided reliable service between our 6th floor rooms and the lobbies, garden, restaurants on the lower floors. The shower/tub would be safer for an elderly person (or anyone) if there were grab bars. Access at the front door involves steps, a bit difficult for us with problematic hips/backs. The railings help. Could there possibly be a ramp? The pool wasn't available when I had time to swim due to a scheduled Zumba class, but it's another great asset.

The historic property was excellent. Throughly enjoyed the property. Look forward to staying there again in the future!

Historic hotel and so convenient if you're visiting Cal.

Fascinating architecture and history. Great staff, great grey and easy parking. A nice break from TV.

This place was a pleasant surprise! We weren't sure what to expect, but we were blown away by the architecture, the staff, and the overall charm of the place. We loved it and wish we could have stayed longer!

Great clean historical hotel. Well kept and staff, service and food is wonderful. Great architecture.
