Top Oakland City Center Hotel Reviews

Oaktown Roost

8/10 Good

"Everything was great. Except the stairs. This hotel needs a pulley lift for luggage. If you’re incapable of carrying your heavy luggage for 2 flights of stairs don’t book this hotel. Otherwise beautiful historic building. Nice staff!"

Jack London Inn

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as i walked in the room “I said I’ll be back” before I laid down or otherwise. The Jack London Inn is what a traveler needs. First, courteous staff, clean rooms, breakfast (free) . That’s it. I uncanny more business do that. If anyone kno s in life or business if you are genuine to your fellow man or woman then the probability of that person becoming an ally to you or cause stays in the highest percentage. In the end , sleep well and to all a good night."

Relax at a Charming West Oakland Victorian

8/10 Good

"Very nice apartment. Spacious and clean. Great value. I wouldn’t recommend walking in the neighborhood at night as it’s still gentrifying."

Dream catcher

10/10 Excellent

"Great host. Very welcoming. Aesthetic and ambiance of place was nice and zen like."

Spacious Home in the heart of the Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay overall was enjoyable, and the inside of the home was definitely the highlight. The property was spacious, and worked great for our family. The kitchen was a major plus and large enough to comfortably accommodate multiple people cooking together, which made family meals easy and enjoyable. The layout and indoor space were very well designed for groups and families.The only downside was the outside surrounding street. It was a plus that the property came with three driveway parking spaces. Unfortunately, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at times, and the rooms facing the street were awakened several times during the early morning hours due to street activity and noise outside the home. If you’re mainly planning to enjoy the house itself, it’s a solid option."
