Sens Hotel & Vanne Bistro Berkeley

Conveniently located in Central Berkeley. Coffee shop downstairs, next to Andronico’s market. Street parking only.

Very European in style. Quaint. Affordable. And very friendly.

I really enjoyed staying here and will do it again. I had trouble getting the TV to work, but wasn't there to watch TV. I loved the cafe downstairs and parking on the street at night was easy enough.

Great location in downtown Berkeley near by cute restaurants and coffee shops and breweries. Came for a family wedding. Super comfy bed, balcony, robe, slippers, toiletries and clean and the service at the front desk was fantastic. I would definitely come back. It’s also located next door to a supermarket.

Ground floor rooms facing parking lot, don't black out. If you're light sensitive sleeper, this would be an inconvenience. Rest everything is good.

The staff were all stellar, very friendly & helpful. Handy location

Really enjoyed my stay. Room was well equipped and clean. Bit easy to hear my neighbors but they were loud!

Charming cafe right downstairs, clean room, quiet, check & out easy, great neighborhood very central to all of Berkeley & best restaurants nearby. Thank you !

Very pleasant small hotel. Room with King size bed was large enough, very clean and comfortable. Although on busy street, the room was very quiet. The one downside was that the dual-flush toilet needed multiple flushes to do the job, which rather defeated the purpose.

Amazing

We love staying at this hotel and staff feels like good friends the accommodations are always ample clean and comfortable. We would have left all five stars however it was a bit of an inconvenience with parking no longer being available. Berkeley Street parking is quite treacherous as most either need a residential permit to park or a metered spot that only allows you to pay two to three hours at a time through a mobile app which is quite clunky to use. we did circle around the block for quite some time trying to locate suitable parking and we're relieved when we did. Not necessarily a direct reflection of the hotel staff but it would have been a good notification to receive upon booking.

In a convenient location, but also busy. No parking on site, but we were able to find nearby street parking fairly easily (weekend). A bit run-down. Lots of dining options nearby. Worked great for a quick weekend getaway.

Always a joy when I stay here!

Extremely long wait checking in while a staff member was watching something live on their phone. Also, the shower wand would fall out whenever the water was turned off. Other than those two things it was fine for what it is. The cafe staff are amazing. Also does not have laundry facilities available (or so that employee said)

Great location and service in rooms, fully staffed 24/7 lobby/entrance but the function is a little awkward and the door is very heavy

This hotel is near my mother and in a great walking location in Berkeley. I have stayed here for years. Due to my schedule change, I stayed in two different rooms this time. Both were comfortable and everything worked. The rooms are starting to look a little shabby, it has been a long time since a refresh and it is due. I would stay again next time due to location and the very interesting coffee shop.

Comfortable. Location

Love the Neighbor location and love the cofre at the café.

Great front desk staff. Clean rooms.

You could not find a better location if you're visiting Berkeley, in the heart of the gormet ghetto. Very walkable and convenient. My room was very clean, and quiet! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The building itself is just a little run down, but all the plusses totally compensated for that! I had a lovely stay with Sens and would stay there again!
