Bancroft Hotel - Berkeley

historic architecture, rooftop deck with scenic views, cultural options in proximity

Noise levels can be disruptive!!! The lack of air conditioning makes summer stays uncomfortable!!! A serious bathroom upgrade is necessary as they are far too small!!! It would also help to have a more robust cleaning strategy in place!!!

Great Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception was handy. Tv was a plus. Cots needed.

Thank you for a good stay. The hotel offers cozy, tidy rooms with bathroom as well as direct view of campus. This property is in an amazing location, very close to Berkeley and a lot of cafes and the Golden Gate. Also, it is at walking distance from Sather Gate.

Their breakfast is cold, can be far better.

Neat and unique room overall, with direct view of campus. Nice decor of the room. Location so close to the Bancroft, a lot of cafes, and downtown Berkeley.

Cold breakfast.

Consider asking the staff for specific local dining recommendations, particularly for unique cafes and restaurants nearby that you might not find in guidebooks.

I appreciated the historic nature of the building, but

The room was a tad small for our needs. The cleanliness was commendable and the comfortable bed offered a good night's sleep. The street noise was quite disruptive was nice.

Beautiful historic architecture

Solo travelers cozy option

I stayed in a room that had a great view , peaceful and surprisingly well-equipped. The staff , they were willing to help , even assisting me with a late checkout after a rough night.

Wasn't exactly cheap , but it was acceptable enough.

Great location right across from the campus. With a charming historic ambiance. The breakfast at a nearby cafe was excellent, especially the fresh pastries. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

I had a lovely experience with breakfast at Caffe Strada next door, especially with the fresh pastries and good coffee, and I enjoyed a quiet room with a pleasant view. The only downside was the bathroom being a bit tiny.

The hotel boasts lovely architectural details and a charming historic ambiance that caught my eye. I enjoyed the breakfast at the nearby café with fresh pastries and appreciated the absence of air conditioning, as a ceiling fan made the warm weather quite comfortable.

The charming historic ambiance of Bancroft, with its lovely architectural details. The cozy little corners made relaxation effortless.

A hairdryer would be nice.

It's a great location right across from UC Berkeley's campus. My room was cozy with a lovely balcony, and the towels were super soft, made from bamboo and organic cotton. The breakfast at caffe strada next door was good, especially the fresh pastries.

could use a bit more space in the bathroom.

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the UC Berkeley campus, making it the perfect choice for families visiting the university. It's just across the street from the south side of the campus, allowing easy access to campus facilities and events. The rooms are cozy and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep for everyone.

Some guests have mentioned that the bathrooms in the rooms are on the smaller side.

Enjoyed a comfortable stay at this venue with an amazing location close to attractions like an anthropology museum.
