About the Hotel

2600 Durant Ave, Berkeley, California, United States, 94704

Graduate By Hilton Berkeley is a 4-star hotel located at the corner of the city stir and game day buzz, just a five-minute walk to campus. Thousands of 'Nat Geo' magazines journey across the front desk walls dressed in California gold.

Spacious Comfortable Rooms

Guests enjoy extra space to relax and recharge in Bay Side King rooms, which are outfitted with one king bed, a sleeper sofa, and a work station. Each room at Graduate Berkeley features air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, a safe deposit box, and a flat-screen TV.

Historic Pub Dining

Henry's Restaurant at Graduate Berkeley offers a historic pub serving up American cuisine. The creative culinary team will work to design a custom menu that is perfectly reflective of the soon-to-be-wed couple.

Vintage Lounge Areas

Guests can curl up with a book amidst Ikat patterned easy chairs and printed velvet sofas in deep blues and burgundy with a vintage vibe. Henry's dining room boasts a projector and large screen for any presentation needs and is the perfect place for intimate receptions with its classic wooden flair and high ceiling.

Campus-Adjacent Location

The hotel is located just 0.5 km from University of California Berkeley, Telegraph Avenue, Sather Tower, and The Campanile. Berkeley has an adventure for everyone-even if that's just a game at California Memorial Stadium, which is 1 km away.

The Graduate is a wonderful place to stay in Berkeley due to its great location near cool places for dining, spacious rooms, and friendly service. However, some improvements are needed for the rooms to be more comfortable for multiple occupants.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but they were a bit small for my liking. The service was helpful overall, but parking was a bit confusing. The location was incredibly convenient for exploring the Cal Berkeley Campus, yet the dining options were limited. Despite some drawbacks, I found the hotel to be a decent choice for its value.

The hotel is bursting with nostalgic charm and is perfectly located right by the Berkeley campus. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a kitschy school theme, making for a cozy stay. While the service was friendly and helpful, there were some basic shortcomings. The location is unbeatable for visits to UC Berkeley, offering a vibrant and festive atmosphere. The dining options, though simple, were somewhat disappointing. The facilities are decent with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were incredibly hot, and the controls didn't seem to work well, though they were decent overall. The bathroom lacked storage space, but there was a loud portable air conditioner provided. The service was really nice, offering a complimentary continental breakfast in a cute front room. The hotel valued repeat guests with discounts. The location was convenient, being central and quiet, especially for those visiting the Berkeley campus. The dining experience was simple but delicious, with pastries and fresh-squeezed juices available. Despite some drawbacks, my overall impression was positive due to the helpful service and great location.
