I have been to Berkeley numerous times and stayed in many of the hotels. I did not know this place existed. My son and daughter-in-law live within a block and never realized it was here. So, tucked into a square block of a central Berkley neighborhood is this quirky little gem. My assessment is based on my room which was... More

This hotel advertises itself as a B&B, and architecturally I suppose it is (made up out of converted older houses) but it really runs more like a hotel, which I prefer. E.g the rooms are separated, and everyone has their own bath. You can check in at any hour if your flight gets in late; etc. The rooms are large,... More

I was visiting Berkeley friends and wished to be nearby. It is a series of older homes made into a homey Inn. I would return anytime I am in the area. Excellent location with Nice clean rooms, and a pretty good breakfast.

This place is charming! The lobby and eating areas have a fireplace and it has a cozy feel to it. If you are looking for luxury you might go elsewhere. Although it could definitely use some refurbishing the staff is great and the breakfast amazing. The price is right and this is our place of choice to stay when visiting... More

This is a tired building of poor quality that needs to be gutted and redeveloped. It would not pass safety regulations for electrical safety in EC countries and suspect it does not in the USA. Proximity of electrical fittings to water i.e. wash hand basins is too close to socket for safety. The bathroom is of very low build quality... More

We have now had the pleasure of three different stays at the Rose Garden Inn, an eclectic collection of several older homes in Berkeley, just south of the 1960's craziness of Telegraph Avenue. Each time, our visits have involved different rooms in different locations throughout the facility, and each time the spot hit the mark. As is true with any... More

Very old place, it has some atmosphere, but it needs restructuring. The hall of my building was tasting very bad, and you open the door of the building and find yourself in a bathroom. Staff is friendly, but this does not compensate for the very old structure. I would never come back.

This was our first stop on our CA honeymoon and it couldn't have been more perfect! Quiet rooms, beautiful gardens, great breakfast, close to shops and restaurants and a short drive to San Fran-what more could you ask for? Free parking and internet-yes!!! I am truly looking forward to coming back here someday!

We recently went to visit my daughter in Berkeley and were lucky to find a room in this historic rustic Victorian style complex. Jaime took our reservation and explained all the different types of rooms available to my husband. When we arrived we discovered this complex consists of five different buildings and from the outside you could not tell how... More

We've been looking for a place to stay repeatedly on our frequent trips to the Bay Area to visit our kids. This might be it, because the ambiance is completely warm and homey, and the slightly run-down edge is wood and not plastic. Bed was comfortably firm; breakfast was great, seemingly containing actual food, again not plastic. Gardens and common... More
