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.

Great cozy little place, but pretty spacious rooms. A little bit older, but looks to be in very good condition, a lot of modern amenities, and well maintained. Extremely pleasant service. The young lady at the desk was very accommodating to help me out with a work related issue. Cool little café downstairs too. Would definitely stay again, and will 100% recommend.

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.

If you expect a Hilton experience, this is not the hotel for you. No dressers for your clothes, no closet to hang things. There is a wire unit for some clothes storage as you walk into the room. The toilet sits about 2 ft. off the floor, a tough sit for someone tall. That being said, none of that matters. The warm friendliness, genuineness, and sincerity of the owner and every employee, whether they are there to greet you as you walk into the hotel to get to your room, or make the most perfect cup of coffee, make up for any shortfalls in the rooms. I wish more businesses offered the kind of customer care as The French Hotel. I was talking to one of the locals who has been coming in for his morning coffee for the past 25 years. That says it all in a nutshell. We will happily stay with them anytime we come visit.

No parking. You have to find parking yourself in an adjoining neighborhood.

Pretty nice and cozy. Great location, next to Safeway Community Markets (convenient for grabbing quick food items), next to and a short walk to many shots, restaurants and BART. There were a few hootches with the room, but they fixed it all. Walls are a bit thin, but, it's not the institutional chain hotel. Nice shower and lights and comfy bed. Nice balcony. Microwave and fridge and tea kettle. Big TV. The cafe downstairs is pretty good and has a great atmosphere. Very international clientele (mostly French). Yes, you do have to buzz in after hours, but someone always came to open the door right away.

Modest but very nice hotel at a good location. They've done a good job with decor making modestly sized and appointed rooms very welcoming and uplifting. I also appreciated the fact that they have real coffee mugs and water glasses in the room, not disposable ones.

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!
