The Spotlight on Nash Hotel

Affordable Comfort Steps from Berkeley's Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, Nash Hotel is located right in the heart of Berkeley, just 0.6 miles from the city center and a short walk from the University of California Berkeley campus. With simple, comfortable rooms, concierge services, and free WiFi throughout, this 2-star hotel offers a great base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.
Whether you're catching a show at the Fox Theater in Oakland or a campus concert, you’re well-positioned at Nash Hotel.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans love Nash Hotel for its central location and easy access to both Berkeley and Oakland music venues—Fox Theater and Paramount Theater are under 5 miles away. The hotel’s 24-hour front desk makes late night arrivals or post-show check-ins a breeze, while the relatively quiet neighborhood offers a peaceful place to unwind after a loud night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-conscious base close to multiple venues
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list show in Berkeley or Oakland
  • Couples making a weekend out of a concert plus a Berkeley getaway
  • Fans needing some quiet after a loud night—the garden adds a tranquil touch
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want a simple, clean place to crash

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features an on-site restaurant, perfect for a bite before heading out. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of walkable dining options nearby, from late-night pizza joints to cozy cafés. Berkeley’s food scene is famously diverse, and many spots stay open late enough for post-show snacks. Just don’t expect breakfast in bed—morning meals are available nearby, but not in-house.

Nightlife Options

While Nash Hotel doesn’t host live music on-site, you’re within easy reach of Berkeley’s bar scene and just a quick ride to Oakland’s legendary venues and lounges. Whether you’re in the mood for a chill wine bar or a high-energy club, you’ll find solid options nearby.

What People Say

Guests frequently mention the hotel’s great location and friendly 24-hour staff. Many appreciate the clean, simple rooms with desks and coffee machines. Its proximity to UC Berkeley and local venues makes it a favorite for music fans and visiting families alike.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills hotel, so don’t expect luxury amenities or modern décor. Some guests mention that the rooms are a bit dated and that the street can be lively at times, but most agree the location and price make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting an affordable, no-fuss stay close to both Berkeley and Oakland venues, Nash Hotel hits all the right notes.
