    Lauretta K. - 14 August 2025
    This is the best storage place I've ever used! It is incredibly clean and the staff is kind and friendly, Prices are reasonable given the convenient location. Their hours are a little shorter than some places (which honestly makes the whole place feel safer) so make sure that works with your schedule before you rent. This is my 3rd time needing to rent a storage unit (for work) over the past 10 years and I just keep coming back to Berkeley Self Storage because it is so great. ... Read more

    Family run business; they get to know their customers and hire their staff well with quality business relationships in mind. The site is well managed and clean. One can never know everything, but I I believe security to be a bit above average - the owners do take care of business. I'm posting this in the time of COVID, when hours are a bit shorter than normal but on the other hand the open-air nature of unit access is a protective plus. The second floor aisles are a thick but open mesh - carts get bumpy and they might still have the signs warning that no high heels are allowed up there. I never thought I'd ever warm up to that construction detail, but it makes for even more air circulation so it's another big plus for me now. Prices tend toward the reasonable side. This is one of my top preferred places to rent. ... Read more

    I have been using Berkeley Self Storage for about 15 years. I like that is a family run business, not a chain, Adriana and the rest of the staff are a pleasure to deal with. They are constantly doing maintenance to keep the place in good shape. I'm happy here, obviously. ... Read more

    Highly recommend it. I was inclined to rent from Berkeley Self Storage because it's family owned but upon visiting - I liked the staff, the location, the pricing (competitive with others in the area) and the cleanliness. The access hours are also great. ... Read more

    Holy cow. Adrianna and the team at Berkeley Self Storage absolutely knocked my socks off with their customer service. I don't think I've ever been so impressed and grateful. If I could, I would give them ONE MILLION STARS! I was in the middle of a move across two states when the carefully laid plans went up in smoke and I had to move 6 days earlier than planned. So the storage unit was one of the last things on my plate as I was driving a uhaul down the 5 freeway. Adrianna could tell I was in dire straights, and leapt into action to help me pick up the slack. We got everything done electronically over email during my breaks from driving, and as traffic extended the trip she pivoted to let me move into my new storage unit after normal hours. I didn't need to beg or butter her up or promise to pay a premium - and she volunteered a staff member to be there to ensure success. I wouldn't be surprised if she paid that employee overtime to ensure my needs were met. The team here just wanted my business and were total professionals in earning it. I look forward to spending my money here and encourage anyone with storage needs in Berkeley to start here first! ONE MILLION STARS! ... Read more
