Hotel Bergs

Bergs is a lovely hotel situated close to the attractions and just outside the old city. We had a spacious room, good bathroom, complimentary chocs, parking 100 metres away and lovely people. Pleasant varied breakfast, we were 100 yards from a lovely park. 3 blocks from the opera house and in easy reach of the old city though another beautiful riverside park. The Trends restaurant did imaginative modern cuisine. Restaurants in the old city were 10 to 15 minutes walk depending on where you want to eat. The Art Nouveau area is close by too. The staff were brilliant. The waiter at Trends got soaked moving us off the terrace when there was an unexpected downpour. We stayed quite dry. A receptionist came in the car with us to make sure we got to the parking lot OK. Riga is a very elegant city.

We did not care much for the associated Berger restaurant but there are plenty of other options.

The staff (especially at the reception and in the breakfast room) were very engaged and helpful. The suite was large and the bed enormous

Struggled with connecting with the WiFi. The room we had (324) was outfitted to care for disabled which is a good thing for those needing it. For me it was a bit annoying in that they had installed a ‘support arm/handle’ next to the toilet that due to its location almost made it impossible to reach the toilet roll... ... and the shower rod was way to short. I like to stand under a shower, not hunker down to do my hair.

The room is very comfortable and with some very nice snacks, which is important when you work a lot and do not have much time. The staff is extremely kind and helpful. I will be back for sure.
