Top Northwest Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Handlery Union Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bathroom light was hard tofind"

Stanford Court San Francisco

8/10 Good

"The staff were so friendly and helpful, couldn’t do enough for you. The bar area is great, the rooms are comfortable and spacious. Location is right at the top of the steep hill at California St but the cable car stop is also there. The only reason I haven’t given it a 5* is the breakfast could be improved. You have to hand in a breakfast buffet voucher (pay extra for à la carte) and you are handed a plate (v old and scratched). Options are limited and no table service. You have to make your own tea in a paper cup. That doesn’t make it a luxury hotel in my view."

Chancellor Hotel on Union Square

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in an excellent location just a few steps from Union Square, the cable car stop, and the BART train station, not to mention all the clothing stores and food options around it. The room was clean and very comfortable with a refrigerator inside, and I really liked the free cookies, apples, and water in the lobby. However, the service from the lobby staff could be improved, as they misplaced my small suitcase and only found it after checking three times. Management should improve staff training so they follow protocols and do not affect customers. I would stay at the hotel again, but I would be careful with the lobby staff."

The Pickwick Hotel

8/10 Good

"Tired basic hotel. Clean and fairly good value for money. Air con worked but rattled a bit. We had no cleaning service on Sunday just a bit under the door saying due to high occupancy we are unable to service your room. I had to phone and go down for more coffee pods. Choice maker and small fridge in rooms which was nice. Very good location with bus rides and train station all 2 minute walk. Large supermarket within 7-10 min walk."
