What guests think

At Hotel Shattuck Plaza, travelers highlight a central, walkable location by UC Berkeley and BART, friendly staff, and appealing historic character, while rooms tend to run small and downtown street activity can be noticeable.

Most reviews praise attentive, accommodating service, with a few reports of check-in hiccups or occasional billing missteps. Rooms are modernized and generally comfortable, though some guests cite firm mattresses, thin walls or noisy mini fridges, and intermittent HVAC issues. Many enjoyed the on-site food and drinks, but breakfast service can be slow. Parking is off-site and can be inconvenient or pricey; expect a stylish, central base with welcoming service and some urban-noise trade-offs.

The hotel was nice and staff was very friendly and helpful. The drawback to this property would be the fact that there is no valet or on-site parking. You can park in the garage down the street but it costs $46 for overnight parking and you have to schlep your luggage down the block to get to the hotel.

Had to valet because there’s not a lot of parking options, but it puts you right in the thick of everything. Close enough that you can walk to the campus if you’re seeing a show at the Greek. Surrounded by dining options hotel is immaculate and beautiful.

Hotel Shattuck is a lovely upscale boutique hotel. The staff is excellent. The bar for espresso coffees in the morning and for cocktails in the evening was perfect. Had nice breakfasts each morning. Exercise room was small but had 1 of everything -- a peloton bike, a rower, a treadmill, weights, mats. Would absolutely stay again.

Friendly staff, valet was reasonably priced, less than $50 (there’s a parking garage across the street if you want to self park) we were tired so we did valet, good location, clean, a few homeless but we didn’t feel unsafe. Restaurants & cafes nearby. The bed was rock hard & lumpy. I barely slept because my bones hurt from the mattress & the room was sparse from empty spaces where dressers & maybe a chair was at some point.. it was weird.. we didn’t unpack because there was no place to put our clothes.

We often stay at the Shattuck Plaza and we like the architecture and history. The room was very hot this time due to the weather outside and the air conditioning units in both sections of the suite did not work. The maintenance crew decided the units were dead. Our options were to move into a smaller room and stick it out with fans, but we ended up with an uncomfortable stay.

The staff at The Shattuck Plaza were excellent—friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the room was a terrible experience. The bed was hard, pillows scratchy, and a loud pumping noise kept us awake all night. We couldn’t figure out where it was coming from—at first we thought it was the AC, then the pipes—but in the morning discovered it was the mini fridge. We checked out very early due to the noise, and even recorded the noise to show the front desk what we had to deal with the entire night. Unfortunately, no refund was offered. For a sleepless night at a hotel of this level, that was very disappointing. We would never stay here again.

I paid for a room for my wife and included her name on the reservation. The person at the front desk insisted I had to be there in order for her to check into HER room. She had to argue with him for 30min before he finally realized it's HER room! She was in a bad mood the whole 2 days because of that which ruined our trip!

I travel often for business, and Shattuck is my "go to place" for visiting Berkeley... can't beat the location and ambiance. This time I had a mixup, and left something important in my room (when I checked out). I called later in the day, and the staff saved me! they not only tracked down the item, and held it for me for pickup later in the day. Thank you!

Stay was lovely, however, we are embroiled in a dispute with the manager over breakfast charges that were made against our room while we were there. Someone assigned their $80+ breakfast to our room number. Our credit card was charged without our approval. Very frustrating and unethical. Do not recommend staying here.

The Hotel Shattuck Plaza lobby and rooms are very nice, and we had a very comfortable stay.

However, there are plenty of restaurants, shops, etc., close by and we did not have any problem coming and going from the hotel.

After checking in, the front desk called to ask us if we ‘needed anything’; I asked for robes, and they were delivered in a few minutes. Also great to have a nice restaurant and bar on the premises. Then we literally walked across the street to the BART station-perfect!

It's a nice hotel. The staff are all pleasant, welcoming, cheery. The valet parking was slow but reliable. The restaurant is good, nice food, not generic, tasty. The prices are OK. The room had some odd little issues. No luggage racks; we requested them 2 days in a row, but they never came. The window casing was broken, not operable, and the room was stuffy the whole time. The AC instructions required scanning a QR code first . . . ?? The bathroom sink was up on a table with 6" gaps on either side between it and the side wall; things kept falling on the floor. Very nice bed, nice shower, nice big closet. Lighting OK. The alarm clock had been left ON for 6 AM . . . woke us way too early the first morning. Decor was a little severe for our taste.
