About this property

Welcome to DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina

Situated along the waterfront at 200 Marina Blvd, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Berkeley Marina offers a practical choice for travelers seeking access to scenic bay views and outdoor activities. Guests appreciate its proximity to local attractions such as César E. Chávez Park, with its pier, playground, and shoreline trails, as well as easy access to iconic destinations like Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, and PIER 39.

The hotel features unpretentious, clean rooms with some accommodations providing views of the marina. While décor is somewhat dated and the building shows signs of age, guests frequently note the comfortable beds and functional layout. A few rooms offer direct water access from the first floor. The on-site restaurant and bar provide convenient dining options, and additional amenities include an indoor pool, fitness center, business center, and kid- and pet-friendly services.

Reviews highlight both strengths and areas for improvement. Service tends to be helpful and attentive, especially from staff managing events and conferences.

Overall, the atmosphere remains pleasant and accommodating.

Accessibility features and free Wi-Fi are appreciated, though it lacks airport shuttle service.

Large older hotel in nice setting by the San Francisco Bay. Hallways show wear. Bed very comfortable. Room decor somewhat outdated. Room very clean. Plenty of parking but expensive if you're not a Hilton Honors member (free if member).

Amazing beautiful location on the water, Staff was pleasant. Rooms were pretty basic bed was not the best, not bad overall. Parking prices were EXCESSIVELY EXPENSIVE. I was in building 3 so pretty far walk to and from the lobby and main entrance. Overall decent experience would stay here again.

Wonderful rooms with beautiful views of the Bay Area. Staying on the first floor you can walk right out onto the water. Good food and service at the restaurant.

It may not be the flashiest hotel for the price, but it has a lot of thoughtful touches that make a stay comfortable. Pros: Breakfast served with real utensils, not plastic Windows that open for fresh air Free street parking right across the hotel A decent on-site restaurant Minor cons: €40 for on-site parking Tips expected during breakfast Rooms are a bit dated Overall, it’s a cozy, convenient choice with good amenities and a pleasant atmosphere.

Great location! I wanted to get away for some peace and quiet. The room was comfy, a little basic. I had a garden view with a balcony. No rooms have an ocean view. I watched the Peloton channel, which I didn't know existed. I charged some things from the kiosk. The property was nice and saw some wild turkeys in the parking lot.

We held a conference here and all of the staff, especially Natasha, was incredibly attentive and helpful. They acted quickly to any request and went above and beyond to solve problems, adjust facilities, and make sure we had everything we needed. Everything was executed perfectly, on time, and within budget. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
