Hotel Berkeley

The rooms are TINY, so be sure you’re traveling with someone you don’t mind being in extreme close quarters with. The breakfast is mediocre, coffee and bread. The staff are stellar, however. They are very kind and helpful. And the rooms are updated and very clean, however the rest of the hotel needs updating. The location cannot be beat.

The hotel is located in a very connected area. Metro Montparnasse which is a very connected line is right outside the door. Many buses also stop right outside. It is also close enough to tourist spots where you could walk if you wanted to. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby. The hotel is small but nice. We stayed in a room with two twin beds and they were small but comfortable. The hotel was clean. We did have an issue with the bathroom and had to switch rooms and the staff were not very friendly about the situation but did give us an upgraded room. For the price and location we would stay again. We did not try the breakfast.

I spent 2 nights here with my mum for a city break. We were out all day and really only used the hotel to sleep. Staff are very friendly and were very nice about us losing the key. Rooms are small but clean. Nice shower and bathroom which was important to us. I would stay here again to explore the city as it is so accessible. The metro is literally a stone's throw and great restaurants/bakeries in the area. The pancake place up the road was amazing!

Hotel was ok overall. Just not as expected. And definitely pricey for what is being offered. Rooms are very small. Breakfast was at best mediocre. Photos and description didn’t really match the reality when we arrived at the hotel.

Breakfast on the first day was inedible. The bread was stale, bendy and you couldn't cut it. Croissant and pain au chocolat sad and tired. Very basic fruit juice, so forget freshly squeezed orange!. Breakfast on subsequent days not much better. They say bread etc. brought in fresh at 5:00am. Our suspicion is that bulk buy is defrosted at 5:00am. Service in the dining room pleasant and friendly. At 8 Euros for a pretty poor breakfast don't fall for the bed and breakfast deal. When I complained about the first breakfast they said there would be a reimbursement. On leaving after 3 nights they explained there was no way I could claim back through the hotel, I would have to do it through Hotelscom. This hotel is run on a shoe string. Couldn't find a spare bulb for bedside lamp but one did appear later, thank you. Boss was never there. Behind the counter staff just standing in. You need to sleep with window shut because it's so noisy in the street all night. Our bedroom was tiny, you could just squeeze between the end of the bed and the TV, they did explain the picture was one of a superior room. So the picture on the web site is a bit naughty. Wifi on fifth floor drops in and out.
