I stayed at the Hotel Bergs for 3 nights in December just before Christmas. Arrival was seamless with a member of staff meeting our cab with an umbrella and offering assistance in the rain. Check-in was equally as smooth and we where shown up to our room on the 4th floor.

The room itself was beautifully appointed with stunning wooden flooring, large windows which can be fully opened (which I appreciate) and excellent quality bedding. It was wonderful to have a small kitchen area and I appreciated the good quality Bodum tea, coffee and cocoa. Throughout the room, masses of storage are available which is somewhat of a rarity. My favourite touch had to be Pillow Menu, alongside the DVD list, superb!

My only disappointments where with the bathroom; the positioning of the shower made it difficult to get under. The other issue being the seal along the bottom of the shower glass which required changing. The heated floor however is a great touch, especially in winter!

The hotel has free wifi throughout although I struggled to connect using my phone; I suspect, had I had my laptop with me I would have had no problems. Other facilities include a gym with sauna which was great to relax in. The library by the lobby is very elegant along with the computer room. We did not try the dining options although they did look excellent.

Our only issue during our stay was being charged for the use of the audio tours without being advised however this was removed upon check-out which was appreciated.

All staff throughout where warm, genuine and helpful and made good recommendations on dining and sightseeing.

I would highly recommend the Hotel Bergs as likely one of the best options in Riga, especially if your looking for a modern, elegant, boutique property with high standards.
