Great location if you need to go to UC Berkeley. It is also in front of the BART station. The hotel room was very clean and it was comfortable. I didn't try the breakfast or the gym.

What an elegant hidden in time charming hotel. The pool made me feel I was swimming in art. It’s quiet, no television, simple but gorgeous. Delicious nude (pastry-less) quiches for breakfast.

I really liked the location of the hotel — it was conveniently close to cable car and bus stations, which made getting around easy. The room was very clean, quiet, and perfectly sized for a two-night stay for two people. The mattress was extremely comfortable, and we slept very well. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious too. Overall, a peaceful and pleasant stay - I’d definitely consider staying here again!

The boutique hotel was lovely, clean, the continental breakfast selection was more like a "European style" --full on menu (i.e.,beverages- juices, teas, coffee, espresso, hot entree with assortment of breads, pastries, spreads, fruits, cold entrees, etc.). The food was excellent. The quality of the food and beverages were exceptional! The morning dining room staff were professional and courteous and not intrusive to guests while dining. but, if you needed to order an item from the dine in menu the staff was there to take your order and worked efficiently. The dining room was clean and setup lovely. The staff always kept the food area replenished and very clean! We also enjoyed the 24 hour availably for in room dining. My husband and I will definitely be returning soon to stay at Hotel Drisco. The 24 hour parlor room service with hot and cold beverages with light snacks was a welcome treat especially the biscotti! Nice to come back to the Hotel and relax in the parlor room with a beverage and have a snack. The selection of quality teas were very nice. All the Hotel Drisco staff from bell men, front desk, dining room and housekeeping were professional and courteous especially, Tanjay! Our room was clean and very comfortable...housekeeping staff always kept our room very clean...like the bed and bath linens too!

This is a beautiful old hotel, designed by Julia Morgan. The courtyard is a great place to read a book. The breakfast was excellent, especially the two types of quiche. We didn't have enough time to explore everything we wanted to at the hotel, including the indoor pool and the small Julia Morgan museum. We will stay there again on our next trip to Berkeley.

Cool design, decent sized room with a small walk in closet - perfect for storing luggage. Bed is comfortable and WiFi good enough for video calls. Loved having a tea kettle in the room!
