I really enjoyed everything at the Hotel Durant. From the bar to the food - but especially the room and the view. The staff is so friendly. The way it is decorated is perfect for the Berkeley...

Stayed at The Durant because my son was visiting Cal. We would never stay there again. Dingy rooms, dark lobby, no breakfast service. We paid extra for "breakfast" which turned out to be a pathetic...

We were on a college tour and this warm friendly hotel was a haven. Just a short walk to the metro and you are in downtown San Francisco in 40 minutes. The continental breakfast is really worth it. ...

Historical Hotel, missing the small things

I enjoy staying at older hotels because they are usually filled with classic tidbits that are now gone. And while Hotel Durant didn't disappoint in that regard, they sure need to watch the other small...

I have stayed at The Durant four times and it has always been a pleasant experience. It's a quick 7 block walk from the Berkeley BART station, making it easy to get to from SFO. The decor of the rooms...
