Berkeley City Club

Telegraph District

10/10 Excellent

This may be an historic hotel, but it could definitely teach more modern hotels a thing or two about comfort and atmosphere! If you travel to the hotel from San Francisco Airport, beware of taking a taxi - our driver failed to tell us about the out of town surcharge, so it cost us a whopping $150 between three of us!

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is perfectly located for the tram stop (get there...

One lovely lady at reception was amazing with directions and recommendations, one of which was cycling across the Golden Gate Bridge (a must...

A fantastic return for a San Francisco icon We recently stayed for three nights at the newly reopened Huntington Hotel on Nob Hill, and we’re delighted to say it has been well worth the wait.
