    parking issue
    limited spaces

    I truly enjoyed the charming decor of Sens Hotel & Vanne Bistro Berkeley, and its warm, inviting atmosphere made it easy to navigate. The thoughtful amenities like robes and slippers added a special touch for comfort during my stay.

    Parking situation could be improved for seniors.

    helpful staff
    great amenities

    This place suits me perfectly with excellent amenities like wi-fi, a lovely coffee shop, and helpful 24-hour reception. The staff were very accommodating when assisting my elderly parents during our stay. I highly recommend this hotel and I'm coming back for Christmas!

    unbeatable location
    spacious bathroom
    absence of breakfast
    parking fees
    minor noise

    The location is unbeatable, just steps away from various restaurants and cafes. I enjoyed a delightful experience with the fresh pastries and the overall vibe of the café downstairs. The bathroom was spacious and modern, adding to the comfort of my stay. However, the absence of complimentary breakfast was a minor letdown, and the parking fees could add up. Overall, it’s a solid choice for those looking for a boutique feel.

    outdoor seating
    great location
    close eateries
    poor cleanliness

    The outdoor seating area off the Queen Room offers a relaxing space, though the view leaves much to be desired, overlooking a supermarket parking lot. The location’s proximity to excellent eateries like Chez Panisse and Saul's Delicatessen makes it easy to indulge in local flavors.

    Cleaning standards fall short. the floors felt sticky and the rug had visible dirt. Leftover food bits on the floor were a concern. Noise levels are another issue. the walls feel paper thin, allowing every whisper from neighboring rooms to breach privacy. The room’s climate control left something to be desired—simply cranking the heater didn’t guarantee comfort, which is frustrating for a traveler. Additionally, the entry point through a busy café creates an odd first impression, and the lack of dedicated parking, despite being advertised, can be a hassle for anyone driving.

    cozy amenities
    great location

    The room was super comfy with a mini fridge and microwave that made snacking so easy! I loved the thoughtful little touches like real dishes and silverware for a homey vibe. Plus, it was conveniently located next to a fantastic grocery store, making it perfect for impromptu picnics!

    spacious room
    exceptional coffee
    great value
    poor signage

    The spacious king room with a balcony offered a lovely retreat. Coffee in the bistro was exceptional, making mornings delightful.

    The entrance could use clearer signage.

    iconic location
    comfortable stay
    confusing entry
    limited breakfast
    parking fee

    The location was unbeatable, surrounded by renowned eateries and conveniently close to grocery stores. The spacious Queen Room featured modern amenities, including a large shower and a comfortable bed. However, breakfast wasn't complimentary, and the entrance could be confusing as it resembles a small café. The parking was conveniently accessible but included a fee.

    perfect location
    well-appointed room
    absence of concierge
    unconventional setup
    casual vibe

    The location is perfect, just steps away from a variety of dining options, with a gourmet market next door for convenient take-out. Enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in the café, where the freshly brewed coffee and pastries are top-notch. The room itself was well-appointed, featuring a lovely private terrace. However, the absence of a traditional concierge might not suit everyone's needs, and the casual front desk setup can be a bit unconventional for some. Still, the building’s ambiance and the vibrant neighborhood make it a worthwhile choice.
