Top Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Fairmont San Francisco

Fairmont San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont San Francisco in Nob Hill. The hotel itself is beautiful and full of classic San Francisco charm, but the highlight for us was definitely our corner room. The views were absolutely incredible. Being able to look out over the city and across the bay, especially as the light changed throughout the day, made the whole stay feel extra special. There’s something pretty unforgettable about waking up to those sweeping views of San Francisco and then seeing the city and bay lit up at night. We found ourselves just standing by the windows taking it all in. The location on Nob Hill was also perfect for exploring the city, and coming back to such a beautiful hotel at the end of the day made the experience even better. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and everything about our stay felt polished without losing the historic character that makes the Fairmont so iconic. We would absolutely stay here again. If you have the opportunity to book a corner room with a city and bay view, it’s worth it. Those views alone made our stay one we’ll remember for a long time."

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

Club Quarters Hotel in San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was very good, with a great location. What stood out the most was the customer service. I had a few issues with the room, and Kevin, the housekeeping manager, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that everything was taken care of. He even provided a gift certificate for a complimentary night to compensate for the issues. I really appreciated how responsive and accommodating he was. I highly recommend this hotel."
