Graduate by Hilton Berkeley

As university environment, the neighborhood was loud at night, some young people screaming around. But as the structure is old, the noise was clearly recognizable inside.The breakfast is order per dish not buffet type.The bed is clean but everything very old. Shower pressure super weak.the key is with the design of some random very old studend IDs which was quite nice.

We stayed at The Graduate in Berkeley for one night in October to attend a concert at The Greek Theater. Being able to walk to the show and not have to worry about parking at the venue or traffic was fantastic. The hotel is just a few blocks from campus and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. The rooms are smaller and the bathrooms aren’t updated but we enjoyed the character of this unique property. Every staff member we interacted with was very nice and seemed to enjoy being there. On-site parking is expensive but good luck finding a meter nearby. There are garages in the area that might be cheaper but not as convenient. We loved our stay here and would definitely return.

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!

My room was decent size. Location in walking distance to lots of restaurants catering to college students. The bathroom was bad shape and in need of repair. Water was trickling in the shower. No counter space and bad lighting. Henry’s restaurant had good food. Hotel had no other amenities such as room service, market or order ahead from restaurant. Would not stay here again.

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 :)
