SenS Hotel

The hotel staff is great! The bistro staff is great! Perfect location, next to Cheeseboard. Farmer's Market on Thursdays. Bay Wheels bikes around the corner. Andronico's next door. Close to campus. Walkable from BART (don't rent a car). And, the Vanne Bistro makes the best mochas and the best coffee.

Absolutely serviceable, great location, profoundly ugly. SenS Berkeley is a flop hotel that presents and prices itself as a European boutique treasure. You walk through the “Vanne Bistro” (generic coffee shop which although closes 2pm does not serve egg) to check in at its cash register. If “bistro” has closed, you enter though a jumble of stacked tables and chairs from the sidewalk. That is, no reception area. Hallways bland with cheaply framed fake paintings. Rooms modest size w red French medallion AND olive striped wallpaper and a faux Gerhard Richter abstraction rug. Plank desk in trademark SENS chartreuse. Both fridge and microwave. Bathroom clean and functional, peeling wallpaper. Free off street parking. Forgot to clean room one day although door knob asked for it. All made

First one star review on a hotel. Shower was filthy as expected. What was not expected was that the shower did not drain. Therefor all of everyone else’s before you gross gunk draining, it pooled at your feet. Water pressure was super low on the faucet, and comforter was stained with no cover. Just literally a comforter with no liner probaly in use for 10 years without a wash

A great place to stay if you're visiting Berkeley. Not centrally located, but within walking distance of some great eateries and bakeries, without the crush found closer to the university.

Such a cute little hotel we stayed here so we could walk to a concert at the Greek and it was perfect! Staff was really nice especially Ryan. Highly recommend!
