Hostelling International in Berkeley from NZ$128

"Great Location, about 45 minute walk to fisherman wharf. Although we often just used the electric bike rentals found everywhere. Lots of great local restaurants around. We really enjoyed el super burrito down the street. The pool was on the east side of the building meaning it was a bit cold to swim in the evening as it was mid may and there wasn’t direct sunlight after 12ish. I recommend going in the morning if you go that time of the year. The staff was nice and the room was great: modern, great views and the bed was bigger than a double (the room description said double). Honestly have no complaints. We would definitely stay there again."

"Very friendly staff"

"It's a nice place. It's really close to a lot of cool spots. Everything is just a short bus ride away. "

"The hotel was very convenient to walk to the convention center, but far enough away to avoid the crowds. The view was spectacular and the room was comfortable. The pool was a nice plus, but the "adults only" hours were not enforced by staff, so it wasn't easy getting pool time without children. Still, it was a great perk to relax after a long day at the conference. My one big complaint was that the hotel bar was overpriced. We were going to order a bottle of wine, but we asked the price since it wasn't listed. The bartender told us a bottle price that was the same as 5 individual glasses. That's not right. You should always get a discount when ordering the whole bottle. In the end, we got just one glass and went elsewhere, so missed opportunity for the hotel. Other than that, definitely happy and would likely stay again. "
