Nash Hotel

It's in a good location. No parking is an issue but the lot isn't too far.

Difficult to unload and store luggage while looking for a place to park a car temporarily while storing the luggage more permanently

Room was clean. Staff was helpful. Parking was hard. Lots of places to eat near by.

Very nice and friendly staff. Rooms are good quality and are worth the price. Rooms feel very safe and sound insolation is pretty good. Me and friends have stayed here multiple times (4) because the location is very good for eating and bars, as well as being close to Berkeley college. The biggest downside is there is no parking, and the nearby parking garage that can accrue a pretty high fee if you need to keep it there for many days. When I visit San Francisco I will always stay here because of the convenient transportation as well. Great little hotel!!

No heat, but clerk brought a portable fan heater. Not much sports on TV, no ESPN. Nice room for the price. Make sure you book a private bath!

The hotel was probably nice 100 years ago. Today, it is very run-down. It smells very old, has flies, the mattress was moldy, no mattress pad, polyester sheets, no air conditioning, issues with fixtures, squeaky bed, shared bathroom, no hair dryer, one pillow per person, broken toilet paper dispenser, etc. If it were priced like a youth hostel, some of this would be forgiven. No parking and no pets allowed. The towels were nice, and there's a great coffee place nearby. The area is both sketchy and amazing - it's downtown Berkeley.

It had no parking for a rental car. The lots available in the area did not do overnight parking.The one that did had poor reviews about breaking.

Unclean areas, outdated, front door lock not secure, no A/C, uncomfortable bed, shared restroom not a good idea (shower too small), refrigerator doesn't work properly.

The area is in great location and close to everything. Parking is a huge issue. Property and rooms are in poor and outdated condition. Everything is old, falling apart, towels and bed sheets were dirty with yellow spots, discussing. I would never stay at this hotel again.

The hotel is very old & sockets were unreliable. No AC but they did supply a small fan. Parking was awful. The hotel does not provide any & Berkeley is extremely busy all the time. It was difficult to find a parking spot. Towels were spotless and a good supply was provided. This hotel is close walking distance from Berkeley University.

DIRTY SHOWERS, WIRES EVERYWHERE, COLD, SMALL, NOT EVEN WORTH THE $112.00 I PAID FOR IT....

A mouse came into my room one night, I found it dead in the hallway the next morning.

There was constant banging around from the floor above and the room was not that clean. Crap still on the toilet seat.

bed linens stained and dirty...literally had to brush debris off the sheets. Plumbing under the sink fell off...let me say that again, a 2 foot section of plumbing fell to the ground and water was everywhere.

This is a horrible nasty place. The owner/front desk person tried to scam. It was for my daughter and me so I booked one room with queen bed but he counted the head and made me sign a bill for double price for adding my daughter. Bedsheets had red stains. We just sat on the side of the bed whole night and did not even look how underneath the comfort looked since it looked scary. Also it had a bad odor the moment we entered the hotel.

The bed was actually comfortable. Wanted to start in a positive note. First night we could not sleep at all because the room smelled. Smelled so badly that we still were aware of the bad smell in the middle of the night. It did air out by next night. Not sure why they did not foresee this problem. Very thin walls. Very run down. Very good price. Will pay more next time to stay anywhere else. We paid extra for a bathroom in our room did not realize that’s a luxury

Room was a lot smaller than what it looked like.

There is no bathroom inside the room. Everyone has to share the bathroom/shower in the common area. It's especially inconvenient at night! I guess there is disclosure before you finalize the booking but unfortunately, I did not see it.

The drop back is no bath room in side those guest room.

The room was pretty clean except for the dust on top of the picture frame. The neighborhood was dreadful; garbage all over the sidewalks. Room was noisy; door did not fit well, mattress was very soft. This place is extremely dated and in very poor condition. We went to Berkeley for family weekend and this was the only place available; now I completely understand why. I am shocked that this establishment is affiliated with Hotels.com. I seriously have to question their properties now.

We paid $184 plus tax per night for a basic room with no cable TV, no working telephone, too-soft beds and uncomfortable pillows, no private parking, no full ironing board, windows that would not stay open nor would they lock at night, I couldn’t on but it’s not worth it. We’re now staying in a hotel a couple of blocks away, in a suite for $183 plus tax per night! So, a dollar less for a bigger hotel room!

We booked our stay for an extremely busy weekend in town. We booked rather late so selection was limited. We need a place that we can walk to our destination, so that makes our selection very limited for our budget. We know this hotel is in an old building. The room was smaller than expected. The lighting was not working but the staff was very helpful and responsive and got it figured out. The fact that the light fixture was burned out and left a mark on the desk was a bit concerning. All in all, this hotel is as we have expected.

Its a very old hotel with old carpet, doors, furnture. The are is great being close to Cal Berkeley and tons of excellent restaurants. My room is 10x12' but gets me sleep. A shared bathroom in the hall way. Not cheap but probably cheaper than most others nearby. 2 stars.

Cold, dingy and stuffy. Broken furniture and shared bathrooms. Unfriendly and frequently absent customer service. No room cleaning.

Car window got smashed and bags stolen as we checked in, gone 5 minutes. Staff incredibly unhelpful.

The front door was locked when we arrived. No one on duty. We entered thru a restaurant and waited for staff to arrive to check in.

Room was clean. Staff was helpful. Parking was hard. Lots of places to eat near by.

They don’t provide tissue at room (I learned it’s their policy). I found “dried tea leaves” inside the spout of electrical kettle. But after scratching it out, I found it was “dried roach”. Although I requested to unclog the clogged shower drainage and repair broken bedside lamp, they never showed up. They can do better by displaying the history of Berkeley as a historical hotel.

This ex-hostel was a good place to stay on a non-busy weekend. Shared shower with about 10 other rooms. Most were vacant which made it nice for us. Staff was very friendly.

The room seemed average. Service is non-existent.

Hotel Nash was a *bit* of a surprise. While the service was very helpful and kind, it's definitely not a typical American hotel. When we arrived, we had to ring the doorbell to be let in, and walked through a restaurant to get to the elevator. The hotel in general is quite old, and although they have made efforts to keep it clean, it just has a dilapidated feeling to it - there was a blocked window in our bathroom that did not close and leaked cold air, there was chipping paint in the bathtub, exposed wiring, etc. The room even lacked bedside outlets to charge our phones overnight and only one side of the bed had a nightstand. Most concerning was that when we entered the room, windows had been left ajar that opened to a fire escape - we could have walked in to someone lying in wait - as a woman traveling with her young daughter, I consider this a safety issue. Our room was next to a room full of young adults who were loud/partying late into the night - didn't even try to take action, as I saw a sign at the front desk giving a phone number to call if you needed anything at night. If no one is on-site, why would I wake someone else up to help?

Great customer service and flexibility

Very gracious. Allowed me to check in very early.

I was originally going to SF with my wife, but that fell through, so I ended up going solo-- I booked a room at the Nash since I was going to a concert at the UC theater across the street. They have shared bathrooms on each floor. I knew what I was getting into and figured I could rough it a couple of days without showering---I just had to share a toilet---but a couple of times, the commode was backed up. This means, either the plumbing is bad--or it just shows how many savages there are in our society and these people don't know how to use a toilet like a grown up. I feel sorry for the facility staff that have to clean up after these animals on a daily basis. other than that...the room was clean, the bed wasn't the most comfortable, but I slept. Def wouldn't be here if my wife went came along....but, I would if go to another show by myself.

It's in a really good spot for getting around downtown Berkeley or onto UCB campus. The room I had was a good size, came with a fridge, microwave and electric kettle. The place has a lot of character.

Hotel Nash is a budget hotel, so don't go in expecting anything other than the basics. But if you want to see Berkeley, it's clean, comfortable, and has a fantastic location in the downtown next to campus. I feel I got my money's worth.

For the price, good deal with great location in downtown Berkeley and room not street side was quiet. Neat older building design (though a bit tight).

This is a quaint hotel perfect for seeing a show at the UC theatre. It has an ancient vibe going for it. The only thing I could say that was hard about the stay was the lack of parking, the sheets were a bit stained, and the stopper on the shower/tub was stuck in between but all and all a good stay. Especially if you plan on getting out of the bars or show late and need a nosh the Nash Cafe was open for some bomb food.
