Top California Shakespeare Theater Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our short stay here and was aware it was an historic older hotel. They truly have made the most of this building, esthetically and comfortably. We chose to stay here due to the location and short walk to the Greek theater. (Super easy!) There was plenty of parking and be aware that there are actually two parking lots behind the hotel (not just one small one.) We booked a King room so I'm sure it was larger than some. It had plenty of space and an in room sofa too. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. We loved the eclectic college theme in the hotel. The restaurant was nice, good food, and appreciated the $25. credit that comes with the booking. Only wish they had been open for lunch. The one suggestion we have is to add a vending machine. There were some snack items and energy drinks near the front desk, but no sodas. However they did provide a couple water bottles in the room fridge which was appreciated. Lastly, I wish to compliment the friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay here again when in Berkeley!"

Iconic Airstream Retreat w/ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was really wonderful. The airstream was cozy with nice amenities. It was in a super charming location, nestled in a backyard. All instructions were super clear and things functioned as they should. The just was very responsive to any questions."

Hotel Shattuck Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"Always a great stay! Nice staff, EXCELLENT restaurant and bar (it could stand alone as a high end restaurant without the hotel)."

Beautiful Canyon View Suite, 1100 sq. ft., private deck, full kitchen

10/10 Excellent

"Property is amazing! Sweet, cozy, beautiful porch where we drank coffee every morning and watched the fog roll through! Easy to get around Oakland too. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others."

Mansion BEST luxury family home Berkeley Event Space

10/10 Excellent

"Of all my travels, this was one of the best places I have ever stayed at. We had a large gathering of friends to celebrate a birthday and the loss of another friend of ours. Our host, Dustin, was genuinely one of the greatest hosts I've ever interacted with. Extremely accommodating, excellent communication, and was very quick to respond and answer all of our questions clearly.The property is beautiful and extremely spacious. We were able to take advantage of the hot tub in the backyard as well as the pool table on the main floor. Every floor has a story to tell. From the pictures to the books all around.This place had everything we needed and a few things we didn't even know we needed. We are very grateful for having had this opportunity and will not hesitate to stay here again!Thank you Dustin for all of your help and being so accommodating and gracious."

Elegant Spacious Prvt Studio Upscale Berkeley

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room! So nicely decorated, spacious, and large minifridge with freezer for a week’s food. The studio can get cold in the morning but the blankets are warm and there is a heater as well if needed (we did not test it). The host was nice and responsive; and there is a toaster oven and kettle as well as disposable cutlery and cups. Some of the drawers are a bit old and can get stuck; overall a very pleasant stay and gorgeous room that shows just a bit of age, though it adds to its charm."

Luxury Elmwood–Rockridge Flat w/ Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"The home is beautiful, from the bathroom tiles to the flowered garden, mosaic stained glass. Pretty quiet place given how busy the street was. I really didn’t like all the Google video surveillance, but it wasn’t a vibe killer."
