Hotel Bergs Suites

Very large rooms, very affordably priced; close to old town, outstanding restaurant right outside the door. Service from the staff was excellent, with advice on seeing the city and arranging for transporation. One negative: music from the nearby restaurant could be loud in late afternoon/early evening.

What a wonderful, friendly, central, modern hotel. My wife and I were in Riga for 3 weeks (she was studying), I was completing Middlemarch and took some pottery lessons. Our suite, comprised a spacious living/dining /"office" area, a kitchenette (with all the requisite equipment and table ware) one full modern bathroom, and a powder room (how handy that was during 3 weeks!) a bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed, and the lighting from bedside to bathroom to desk to reading was superb. Housekeeping was always there promptly when we left for the morning, and did a wonderful job. The front desk was extremely helpful, and accommodating beyond all expectations. For instance, we wondered if there could not be a roller for the gym. In less than 24hours there were two rollers in the gym. The location is easy walking to the old city, to the train and bus stations, to all attractions in the "newer" part of the town, and 1/2 block form a network of some of the most beautiful gardens and parks anywhere. The Hotel Bergs is set within a historic plaza where Riga is "happening". But most of all, the front desk made the stay especially pleasant and memorable.
