Beautiful room and building, very quiet at night, great parking accommodations, delicious food walking distance and close by to the venue we were attending. Staff was very friendly and informative. We will absolutely be returning when we need to stay in the area.

Super clean and neat. The staff also very friendly. Only issue is the parking by street sometimes is limited.

Oaktown Roost is a hidden gem in uptown Oakland. I appreciated the security measures in place and the staff attentiveness. Good central location in the town. Definitely coming back in the future

Great place. Was traveling for work and wanted something downtown that wasn’t a chain. Had an excellent time and will stay again.

The place was stylish and affordable. Location is close to many transportation. Love the coffee station, definitely coming back for my next visit.
Crystal, 1-night trip

Staff was nice and the stay was excellent. Super close to BART, too. The area is a bit sketchy and I heard some people screaming and yelling at night but other than that it was fine.

Beautiful boutique hotel

Beautiful boutique hotel. Our room opened up to the courtyard which i would highly recommend. It was an annivery trip. Just be mindul there are stairs and no elevator and we didnt find an ice machine(but we may have overlooked one)
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing spot and a very fair price. Really well appointed rooms with lots of character and big windows - only drawback was my window was courtyard facing so didn’t have any privacy with curtains open. At a great central location - near 12th/oakland Bart stop, food, coffee, and a Walgreens within 10 minute walk. It can seem a little dicey at night so I wouldn’t recommend wandering the streets then. I would definitely stay again!
Heather, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fantastic stay at Oaktown Roost. Our hallway king room was very spacious, very comfortable, and spotless. The rooftop/courtyard between rooms was a thoughtful touch—it added privacy and made for a perfect spot to enjoy a peaceful morning coffee. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they had a gated parking lot. The location was ideal—close to bart and the Fox Theater. It was a great experience all around. Would definitely return.
Silvia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Delightful place. Definitely not a chain: no tiki bar, no workout room, no pool. Also no elevator, although most rooms are on the 2nd floor. I had a room opening on to a delightful interior courtyard; very quiet.
Gordon, 3-night trip

One Night Only

Oaktown Roost is a great budget-friendly spot in the heart of Oakland. It’s easy to access, well-located, and has just enough charm to make it memorable. The building has character, and while it can be noisy at night, they provide earplugs—a small but thoughtful touch. The common area is cozy and well-designed, with couches, a pool table, and really solid coffee (served there, not in your room). The bed was comfy, the shower hot—though the water pressure could be better. Communication from the staff was excellent. For the price, it’s a solid stay with all the basics covered and a few nice surprises. Five stars for value and vibe.
Bronson, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Shower in my room was very inconveniently placed. I injured myself twice trying to get around the toilet while exiting the shower.
MiYanna, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The secured parking for this property was not convenient. The room had an odor, like someone had gotten sick there. The door to my room was glass and not private. Online check in is not the best for everyone.
angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I did have a great stay here with some minor caveats. The early check-in at 2 for $30 is not my favorite. Although my king bed room was truly giant (bigger than a few apartments I've lived in) there were no windows to the outside world (only a small one to the hallway/walkway, right at eye level for anyone outside if my blinds were open.) The sound proofing left a lot to be desired - with laminate floors and a large gap under the door, you can hear even the quietest of sounds. Their bed was incredibly comfortable. the room was pristine, and the location is so so convenient.
