Top Northwest Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. Very well located. Quiet and clean. Nice place!"

Hilton San Francisco Financial District

10/10 Excellent

"This Hilton is a great location for where I go in SF. Some great view rooms at no premium. Clean and well maintained. Front desk staff was helpful and had a good parking policy for last day departure. The restaurant is ultra generic, unfortunately. I suppose they can't really compete with what is around them, but they used to have a unique asian breakfast buffet, but maybe that was a long time ago."

Grand Hyatt San Francisco

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff friendly. Good location from a walking and driving perspective (parking close by) - lots of retail around Union Square, restaurants and bars within 10-12 min walk. Solid option for a reasonable price given the locale and average nightly rates in the area at other chain hotels."
