Located just steps from the UC Berkeley campus, this boutique hotel offers 22 rooms with views of the bay or the university. Renovated by architect Dan Smith, who is known for his eco-friendly approaches, the Bancroft is the greenest hotel in Berkeley. A listed historic building dating back to 1928, the rooms are quite small but charming and some offer balcony access. The dining room is warm, with a library, woodwork and a fireplace. A good place to discover the city, whether you are here for tourism or business.

Location is amazing. You pretty much cannot beat the location if you want to be near campus. So why 2 stars? The customer service is pretty much as awful as it'd be, esp for a pretty pricey hotel. Its like the front desk has never heard the concept of greetings like "hi, how are you?" or "hope you enjoyed your stay" These simple pleasantries - you think they dont even know it. Its usually students or such similar with alot of attitude, determined to make this some kind of power play. Like ppl come after long travels and me personally really appreciate these simple gestures - really, they are not that hard - it pretty much ruined check-in and check-out for me. Otherwise, the place is nice and quaint, the rooms are comfy and breakfast included is great.

We came here for a concert at the Greek theater, walking distance. The location is perfect for that. The location is on campus and close to restaurants and shopping. Free breakfast next door at Cafe Strada was a bonus. You get a coffee ( latte, etc), pastry, fresh fruit, and OJ. The location is next two greek houses so a little loud at times. Parking is $15/night.
