About Berkeley Hostel
Let your stay in Berkeley be enriched by convivial surroundings. Berkeley Hostel at Piedmont House has mostly private rooms, and very little dorm space...no planned group activities... and is a youth hostel essentially due to its shared facilities, such as 'bathroom down the hall', and a community kitchen so our guests can survive affordably in Berkeley.
We are three blocks from The Boalt Hall corner of campus and from International House and a short walk to bookstores, cafes and famous purveyors of international cuisine (Three blocks to the famous Telegraph Avenue). Close by, there is great hiking, museums, and a well-regarded botanical garden.
Berkeley's cultural life of music, dance, poetry, sports, theatre, scientific and cutting edge intellectual pursuits never stops. Berkeley is one of the best cross-cultural places to visit in the globe. It is the Mecca where diverse cultures flourish harmoniously together. There are frequently farmers markets. The Piedmont House has a common kitchen area, free WiFi, and occasional shared luncheons.
Piedmont House is a 'single room short-term occupancy' guest house located at 2434 Piedmont Ave., Berkeley, just over 3 short blocks from the University. Our private room rates normally start at $55.00 per night, per room, in our lockable, budget rooms. Prices in each class of rooms vary depending upon size and amenities. EVEN THOUGH MANY OF OUR PRIVATE ROOMS ARE LISTED IN THE HOSTEL WORLD SYSTEM AS HAVING 2 BEDS, IN REALITY THESE ARE SIMPLY TWO SLEEPING SPACES IN A DOUBLE BED OR QUEEN BED. In some instances, a second bed or futon can be placed in a private room; please inquire specifically about this if it is your need or preference. Rooms are simple but clean, and unlike some hostels, bed linens and towels are provided. Check out is at noon ON THE DAY FOLLOWING YOUR LAST NIGHT, and check in is at 4 PM ON YOUR FIRST DAY, unless your room is ready earlier.
Thanks for your interest in Berkeley Hostel!
