Sens Hotel & Vanne Bistro Berkeley, Berkeley

Sens Hotel has renovated a small hotel located over a very nice cafe that serves delicious coffee and snacks to a neighborhood clientele. The hotel is walking distance to campus (about 1 mile) and has authentic feeling. The renovation is recent and the amenities are good. Mgt is friendly and did not charge me for printing out some notes I needed for my work. A nice alternative to the usual impersonal hotel chain.

People at desk were friendly and helpful, and room was large and comfortable. Cafe has excellent coffee, pastries, sandwiches. Some problem with parking in B of A lot next door. Fed meter for 24-hour parking but ticket expired at midnight.

Send location is great for amazing neighborhood restaurants. Rooms nicely remodeled. They need to do a bit better job of dusting. They say you can park free at Safeway next door BUT safer to pay $10 for secure parking at the bank.

They went the extra mile to help my son.

Very nice staff and helpful service. The hotel is not in great condition or incredibly clean. Does not smell fresh. Stained carpets. The TV didn’t work in any rooms. The cafe on the ground floor is convenient though incredibly busy with retired regular customers. Not many places to sit. Very conveniently located.

The hotel is very clean and comfortable. My only complaint is that the Wifi is very uneven on the 3D floor!

The room was filthy, photos misleading, and front desk personnel offered no help or compensation for the issues. Dust, weird food smears and scraps were all over our room, in the shower, on the night stands. It was disgusting. It's generally a weird setup, too. You enter through some coffee shop, and have to ring the front desk after hours to be let again - again through the (now closed) coffee shop. Way, way overpriced for what is barely even passable as a hostel.

Great location and service, super coffee and pastries at the cafe, comfortable room, carpet in common areas needs replacing

The room was very small, and the room service was horrible. The towels were not removed from the room, and the cups were not washed inspite of getting it to the attention of the hotel staff.

The most dirty hotel I ever stayted. The room was never cleaned . since the hotel opening, garbage under the bed, all of the walls and floors were very dirty. This could be a relly good hotel but the cleaniness by itself transforms this stay in a unpleasent one.
