Nash Hotel

The hotel was quite dirty and extremely uncomfortable. The walls were so thin that I was able t hear pretty much everything what went on in the next room. I was not able to handle the smell any longer and ended up sleeping in my truck. Stay away from this hotel.

Had booked this hotel at the last moment, and was very pleasantly surprised on reaching this place, and had an absolutely excellent stay there. Having a shared bathroom should not deter anyone from booking since the place is spick and span, and kept extremely clean. The people running the hotel were very pleasant, nice and helpful. The location is superb, walking distance from the BART station and plenty of options for food around.

Very interesting historic building, clean, good size room and bathroom. Staff was extremely friendly.

If you want a taste of Berkeley - stay here.

The location is excellent for proximity to the university, but that is about it. Homelessness and dirty streets are a significant problem, but our room had additional issues. Although the staff was very friendly and accommodating to our requests for additional towels and pillows (after we paid extra for our unexpected third person) the room had no working coffee maker, the poorest water pressure I have ever experienced ( in addition to ineffective water temperature control), an inaccessible closet ( due to location of bed pushed against it), and an ant problem. We knew there might be issues as it is an older hotel, but for more than $200 a night we were more than a little disappointed.

I originally booked a hostel style room by mistake. The staff was amazing and found us another room right away. The room was clean, bed comfortable, and the hotel centrally located. It was a great place to stay before an exam.

Very poor. Room was not very clean and not well maintained. Hairs in sink . Baseboards not clean. Carpet was absolutely sticky and had cigarette burns. Security very poor. Window opened right onto fire escape with no grate, windows did not fit the frames Use of extension cords was hazardous. Bed linen was clean or I would have left. No water pressure in sink for which I did get a 10% refund. Not recommended. This should be a 50$ a night hotel not $230!

It was quiet clean and a little funky but I loved it for my overnight in Berkeley to see a concert. Will use the again.

It is a nice place to stay, very convenient location

Overall, my stay was fine. My previous stay was at a hostel, so I have pretty low standards. Shared bathrooms aren't a problem for me, but it's worth noting that there is one bathroom (toilet + sink + shower) per floor. That's ~25 rooms per bathroom, which could mean if it's busy, you could have long waits to use the toilet if people are taking showers. I only had to wait once, and I just went to the floor below. Everything was fine, but not great. The showers seemed good at first, but the showers drained very slowly and it wasn't long before it was up to my ankles. And for some reason, it would very suddenly jump to EXTREMELY HOT, BURN YOUR SKIN OFF temperatures. It would only stay that way for a couple of seconds, but it happened dozens of times during my shower. I eventually turned off the hot water entirely. The room was big enough for me and thankfully there was a sink and mirror in the room. The bed was comfortable and clean. The carpet in the room looked brand new. There were a lot of homeless people outside on the street near the front door, but that's just a fact of life in this area. I never felt unsafe, but it's a good idea to always be on guard wherever you are in the bay area. The wifi signal was strong and I never had any problems with it.
