Top North Berkeley Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Golden Gateway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We always stay at the Holiday Inn Golden Gateway during our SF visits. The rooms are private and offer all the various comforts/conveniences we look for in a hotel: comfortable beds, wonderful pillows (wanted to take a pillow home!), refrigerator, TV, large Dove shampo/condition/body gel dispensers in bathroom, plenty of towels, on-site parking, etc, Good location: one of the cable car pickups is just around the corner; never any long lines to catch a cable car. Big Bus tour stops at the hotel as well. A number of good restaurants are in the area, including one in the hotel. Also, parking is not as pricey as hotel parking lots located along the wharf/Pier 39."

Hotel Zoe Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is the perfect place to stay for a fisherman’s wharf vacation. The location is perfect and not too busy. There were reviews of how loud it can get but did not experience that at all. The staff was very helpful with our luggage, being that we were on a road trip and had a lot of luggage that needed to be stored."

Hotel Julian

10/10 Excellent

"If you want a spacious and clean room near all that’s happening in the heart of San Francisco, this hotel does the trick. The stairs and hallways leading to your room are a little vintage but once you are in the room, the walls are thick, the bed is comfortable and the amenities are contemporary. I would recommend this."
