This small hotel feels almost like a bed-and-breakfast or a small inn. The rooms are on the smaller side, but are cozy, with views, televisions and French touches in the artwork and bedspreads. The French Hotel Cafe is right downstairs, and also lends a distinctly European feel; everyone from hotel guests to locals to students gather here for good coffee and conversation. You are conveniently close to the bustling downtown, but just far enough ensure peace.

Within walking distance to everything!

Travelers must understand that Berkeley is not Omaha. Decent hotels are few and far-between because of Berkeley's slow-growth policies. The attraction of the "French Hotel" is that, besides being clean and safe, it is centrally located in the renowned restaurant district ("gourmet ghetto"). Another plus is that four of the West's Coast's greatest bookstores are also nearby (Pegasus, Black Oak, Moe's and Cody's). Anyone who is expecting maids in black uniforms or gold faucets in the bathroom is in for a shock. The French Hotel is bohemian, funky and a pleasant departure from the usual tourist fare. Vive la difference!
