You could not find a better location if you're visiting Berkeley, in the heart of the gormet ghetto. Very walkable and convenient. My room was very clean, and quiet! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is just a little run down, but all the plusses totally compensated for that! I had a lovely stay with Sens and would stay there again!

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Once was enough
Great were the location and the proprietor. The bed was comfortable and the swag plentiful and nice. But an unpleasant odor, wallcovering buckled from water damage, drooping drapes, furnishings and decor a la yardsale, cracked sink, no conditioner, sound coming from adjacent rooms, peculiar entrance through a dismal coffee shop, and no parking all made for an overpriced stay not to be repeated.

I was surprised at how nice this place was, and the surrounding area. The store next to the place is also amazing, we bought stuff and made dinner in our room!

This is a barebones hotel, but they get everything right. If you want to be in Berkeley in a neighborhood, this is your place. The attached bistro opens at 6:30am and makes the best cappuccinos in the area against some stiff competition. Cheese Board pastries are just a few doors down. Good bus service right outside or a bit of a walk to BART.

Super cute and comfortable and very lovely staff. A few places in the room that weren't spic and span, but they were minor. The location is convenient, the cafe is great and seems to be a real neighborhood hub, which we loved. Thanks for the stay!
