The best accommodations San Francisco & Bay Area

When it comes to affordable hotels in Berkeley - and there aren't many of them - the Quinta Inn is a good address at a low price, offering appreciable comfort, interesting services and a refreshing outdoor pool in summer. From the outside, the building is not very attractive, and the furnishings are a little old-fashioned, but the rooms are well kept and spacious, and the staff pleasant. To make matters worse, the hotel is ideally located between the marina and UC Berkeley.

The Yotel, housed in a historic hotel that survived the 1906 earthquake, has very small first-rate rooms of ultra-modern design, with changing lights, sockets everywhere, a giant screen to which you can connect your phone... On the other hand, the toilets are open, which can quickly become stuffy, and the prices are ultimately very high for the space of the rooms and especially the neighborhood, between the Tenderloin and Civic Center, haunted by junkies.

This Ramada by Wyndham hotel is a great place to stay on a budget, as it offers double rooms for just a hundred euros, even though it's centrally located in Downtown Oakland, right next to the BART - convenient! It's recent, comfortable and impeccably clean. The rooms are air-conditioned, with en-suite bathrooms and thick, comfortable beds in reds and grays. What more could you ask for? Breakfast and services are basic, but at this price it's already very good.

This boutique hotel is one of the city's trendiest establishments. The Zeppelin has opted for a trendy decor and refined communal spaces where it's a pleasure to meet. On the decor side, big names in contemporary design and local artists such as Color Cartel and Lorenzo Martone took part in the project. The 196 rooms are modern, high-tech and extremely comfortable. The suites are spacious and luxurious. The hotel's café and burger restaurant offer a pleasant place to socialize. A gym and bicycles are also available.
