Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

We had a great stay at the Graduate Berkeley. The room was comfortable, the service was excellent, and the snacks in the room were a nice surprise. We also enjoyed our workout in the gym. They were able to get us in early, which made everything easier. Eric (the manager) and the front desk staff were fantastic — friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d happily stay again.

Staff is welcoming. I really enjoyed the room - its comfort and decor. On-site restaurant is good, depending upon what you order. I really enjoyed the burger. Parking can be a little difficult, but I was able to park on the street for free both nights. I’ll be staying here again!

I love the unique feel of this hotel. It has quirks. It is over 100 years old. You are having a good time with the local people and the location. Hopefully you dont care about spending a lot of time at the hotel other than sleeping and a dining experience. Which the dining here is mediocre. My Ceasar salad was more like a sand salad. One of the line cooks came out of the kitchen and mean mugged me, so i ate the sand salad. Other than the kitchen crew and the overworked very soft spoken waitress, the crew and customer service was phenomenal. They let us check in early which was great we had driven from Washington state and were ready for a break. The room was good, we had a lovely view. The bathroom was clean. Overall my husband and I loved the vibe of our stay. For the experience of it and the atmosphere A+!! Go out and explore the local places and enjoy all that Berkley has to offer.

Very close to Cal campus. Older hotel. Henry's tavern attached really cozy with good food, drinks and service. Been many times, but this was the best meals. The cafe which had been inside is now in Henry's. That was a great change with great food and more options. Yay!

We’ve had five stays in this hotel chain, and we love it. The decor is cool, and the bong lamps are a nice touch. The location is great, and there’s plenty of parking.

I come here very often as a Cal student to study. The environment is very relaxing, yet conducive to a great study session. It’s also very accessible and welcoming. Seating, lighting, decorations, etc. are very cozy; it almost feels like a home office. Staff is super friendly, and sometimes they give out treats to add to the overall wonderful experience. It also doesn’t hurt that I can walk to the bar and grab a beer after I finish studying for the day (haha). The Graduate is an amazing Berkeley staple, and I’d recommend that anyone who is visiting stop by :)

Very nice hotel with a great location, making it easy to get around the Berkeley area. The restaurant was excellent and added a lot to the overall experience. The property is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Berkeley.

Stayed a coulpe of days after New Year's day. The lobby is warm and inviting. The workers were really helpful. The rooms don't have a microwave, and they were nice enough to offer to reheat our leftover burritos for us. Lots of table space in the reception/lobby area to relax and have some coffee . We were able to park on the street after 6pm, when the meters ended. It worked out, since the next day was Sunday, and parking meters weren't enforced. The upgraded room we had was nice. It had a couch, coffee table/ottoman, a lounge chair, office desk and , and a very comfortable king-size bed with good pillows. They also have a hot water kettle for instant coffee. The room also featured a safe box, and a refrigerator. The bathroom was older, but sufficient. It had a tub/shower combo with a curtain. The only small issue was the water pressure was lower than we would like it to be. The location was great. Nearby Telegraph street has tons of restaurants, retail shopping, and more. The Cal University was minutes away.
