The hype
Travelers love the decor and the vibe, but the nickel-and-diming on fees and parking rubs many the wrong way.
Kissel Uptown Oakland, In The Unbound Collection By Hyatt
$160-250/ 晚
如果以下情况适用，请预订 You want the Brooklyn-esque cool of Uptown Oakland with a rooftop scene that rivals anything across the bridge.
为什么人们喜欢它
- The High 5ive rooftop bar is a legitimate local hotspot, not just a hotel trap
- Gorgeous Beaux-Arts historic façade meets modern, industrial-chic interiors
- Location is walkable to the Fox Theater and Oakland's best dining row
快速了解： A stylish, energetic anchor in a gentrifying neighborhood that charges San Francisco prices for valet parking.
@TravelWithMae 的评论: I checked into the Kissel for a weekend reset and was blown away. The Art Deco lobby is stunning, but my favorite part was definitely the private terrace. It felt like my own little secret garden in the middle of Oakland. Highly recommend for a solo creative retreat.
住过这里的客人说
Reality check
The 'city views' often overlook gritty urban rooftops or construction, and the shower design (half-glass, no door) floods the bathroom floor.
- You're in town for a show at the Fox or Paramount Theater
- You appreciate hardwood floors over questionable hotel carpet
- You want a lively lobby and rooftop scene where locals actually hang out
清洁与维护
8.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is standard. Reviews consistently praise the staff, though some mention missed dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally sparkling, but the open-shower design leads to water pooling on the floor, which can feel messy.
- Maintenance: The building is new (2022), so wear and tear is minimal. Everything feels fresh and functional.
- Linens & towels: Egyptian cotton sheets are a highlight—crisp, cool, and high quality.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh coffee and subtle floral notes; rooms are neutral thanks to the hardwood floors (no musty carpet).

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is it safe to walk around at night?
Generally yes, especially on Broadway which is busy with restaurant traffic. However, Uptown is urban and gentrifying; stay alert and avoid unlit side streets late at night.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No. The rooftop features a bar and lounge, but no swimming pool.
How far is it from San Francisco?
It's across the bay. A 15-20 minute BART ride (19th St station is 4 blocks away) or a 20-40 minute drive depending on bridge traffic.
What is the 'Refuge' space?
A small, quiet meditative room on the 3rd floor included in your resort fee—good for yoga or a quiet call.
Can I park my own car?
No. There is no self-parking on site. You must use the valet ($52+) or find a public garage nearby (SpotHero is your friend).
Is breakfast included?
No, unless you have Hyatt Globalist status. Otherwise, expect to pay ~$20-30 at Otto's Uptown Kitchen.
内部人士建议
- ✨
The destination fee includes a discount at Title Boxing Club nearby—ask the front desk to book it.
- ✨
Otto's Uptown Kitchen in the lobby serves a surprisingly excellent burger that rivals local spots.
- ✨
The 'Kissel Keepsake' included in your fee is often a small trinket or water bottle; ask for it at check-in so you don't forget.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The shower design is 'open concept' with a half-glass pane, meaning water splashes everywhere—put a towel down first.
💡The elevators can be slow during rooftop bar happy hours as non-guests flood the lobby.
💡There is a 'Refuge' room on the 3rd floor that is almost always empty—a secret spot for a private phone call.
💡The valet loading zone is essentially one car wide; arrival can be chaotic if two cars pull up at once.
💡Some 'Terrace' rooms face a wooden fence or a wall, not a view.
