Lots of places to walk to get great food, before 9 PM. Afterwards, it’s pretty much a food desert. It’s great being two blocks away from Bart when you’re traveling from the airport. Very comfortable beds! Great size bathroom!

Loved my stay! Beautiful historic building, clean and comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. The boutique atmosphere made it feel much more special than a typical hotel. Once you step inside, it feels like you're somewhere on vacation in Europe. No elevator, but actually the staircase was beautiful (and manageable). Courtyard was charming too. They keep the building secured by giving you an access code. Good restaurants nearby. Excellent value. Would definitely stay again.

Actually loved staying here, I always stay at the Marriott and the cost was like 250 more than a standard room here AND you get to contribute to local business owners that actually care about your experience. The vibe of the entire building was so cool and the layout and décor is stunning. Liquor store within walking distance for random amenities you might not find at the hotel late night and its close to everything downtown. Great experience and looking forward to staying again. The location is safe a secure, the street it's on might feel a little sketchy but it's just part of downtown. Don't let part of it being a little run down around the building stop you from staying here!!!

The hotel was really nice. The building's structure made it stand out from other hotels I've been to. I liked the little hangout spot they had in front of each door. The only issue I had was with the window in my room – it wasn't secure. I tried to shut and lock it, but the latch didn't work; I could still open and close it even after locking. I also wish the ice machine gave out more ice; it was one of those small portable ones that only dispenses a limited amount. Other than that, my stay was five stars.

We stayed here for the night and upon check-in we were greeted by “Jenny” who was the on-duty staff. She was very helpful and made the check in smooth. The hotel is updated and had a chic vibe. The room was clean. My only concern was the parking. You can park on the street but make sure you don’t leave any valuables. You can also pay for a more secured, gated parking area for $40.00. offered by the hotel. Overall, it was a nice stay.

A nice little gem with good restaurants (Tay Ho) nearby. Very clean place. Nice rooms. Great price. And very walkable not only to BART, but to the Fox and Paramount Theatres and to Jack London Square.

The building is lovely and beautifully furnished. My room was a bit more tight than expected but comfortable. The rooftop was a great space for a quiet hangout. Wifi was fast. Great small spots nearby like Little Bird bar, Golden Lotus Vegan restaurant, and Oakland Street Food Co. I will stay here again!

This little gem has become my home away from home in Oakland. It has everything you could want in a city that already has everything—great food, cool bars, amazing music, plenty to do, etc. It's all brand new in a renovated space. The rooms are large and comfortable, the bathrooms are sparkling, and the service is impeccable. There's a rooftop courtyard, a game room, and good eats and drinks right next door. It's more comfortable than anywhere else in the Bay Area, and just as accessible. Well done all around, Oaktown Roost!

The room was very spacious and comfortable. We appreciate that the windows did open and supply fresh. air. There is a lovely outdoor seating area on the third floor, plus a game-room with espresso machine, hot water, large TV, etc. on the 2nd floor. The lobby is cute as shown in the site photograph. Coffee shops, cafes, downtown, sites, etc. are all within a very close walk of this hotel. I went out every morning to try new coffee shops and cafes. The hotel offered great value for the price and I would stay there again. Evenings were a little loud outside, but we were able to get good night's sleep each night of our 3-night stay, after the neighborhood quieted down. The hotel requires guests to keep quiet after 10PM. That worked well for us.
