Hotel Bergs Suites

Hotel Bergs Suites Overview

Hotel Bergs Suites sits on Elizabetes iela, a stone‑throw from the old town’s cobblestones and the buzzing cafés on Brīvības Street. I first spotted it the day after a long train ride; the façade was a neat blend of brick and glass that felt a touch more modern than the medieval houses that line the square. The lobby is a surprisingly spacious, sun‑lit room with a few plush chairs that look like they’ve been waiting for a journalist to draft a travel column. I remember the front desk clerk greeting me with a warm, “Sveiki! Welcome to the heart of Riga,” and then handing over a key card that glowed faintly—no fancy digital kiosks, just a friendly smile and a quick, “Take the elevator to the third floor, and you’ll see the city lights at night.” Check‑in was quick, but I could tell they were busy with a weekend crowd; the staff kept a steady rhythm of booking calls and coffee refills, which added to the authentic hustle.

Walking out onto the balcony, the first thing you notice is the sound: the distant hum of the tram on the nearby streets and, if you’re lucky, the muted chatter of locals at the café on Baldariņi. The view is a patchwork of old stone, modern glass, and the wide, sun‑lit boulevard of Elizabetes iela itself. The hotel’s own garden, tucked behind the building, is a surprisingly private oasis—think a row of small potted plants, a couple of benches, and the faint scent of jasmine that lingers after a rain shower. It’s the kind of place that makes you forget you’re in a city that’s still figuring out its rhythm. The balcony windows open to a clear, crisp view of the city’s rooftops, and if you’re staying in a suite, the curtains are thick enough to block out the noise of the street—especially useful if you’re an early‑bird or a night‑owl. Parking is a mixed bag: the building offers a small underground spot, but you’ll have to pay a modest fee; the alternative is the street parking on the opposite side of the street, which fills up quickly in the summer, so I’d suggest arriving earlier in the day or using public transport. The hotel’s address, Elizabetes iela 83/85, places it just a stone’s throw from the popular “Lido” café, where you can grab a latte and watch the city’s morning bustle.

Inside the rooms, the décor is a calm, understated mix of mid‑century furniture and local art. The beds are generous, with thick linens that feel like a hug after a long day of sightseeing. The bathroom is another highlight: a deep, warm shower that feels like a spa, complete with a sturdy hand‑held showerhead and a selection of local soaps that remind you of the region’s natural flora. The hotel’s 24‑hour front desk is staffed by locals who know the best hidden bars on the nearby “Kokteili” street, and they’re happy to recommend a quiet spot for a late‑night espresso if you’re still buzzing from the city. The Wi‑Fi is fast, but I found no hidden data caps, which is a relief in an era where “free Wi‑Fi” is often a euphemism for a speed‑limit. I did notice that the air-conditioning can be a bit loud at night, so if you’re a light sleeper, consider bringing earplugs. But honestly, the overall ambiance feels like a home away from home—comfortingly familiar with just enough local flavor to keep you intrigued. Whether you’re here for a short business trip or a leisurely weekend, Hotel Bergs Suites offers a solid, five‑star experience that doesn’t feel like a sales pitch, but rather a recommendation from a friend who’s been through the city’s streets and back again.

Reviews of Hotel Bergs Suites

• great location, super nice, we loved it (if you arrive by car: be aware and read details) – Lutz from United States – 5 July 2025 (10/10)

  Great hotel, very comfortable, nice rooms (we booked the two-story studio Appartment) and service very friendly.
  It’s short 15min walk to old-town and tons of restaurants (and grocery stores) close by. Would pick this hotel again no doubt.
  To hotel management: kindly improve your arrival directions.
  Arrival by car however is quite difficult (“we are behind a red building” is not really ideal description), we circled around the block a few times until we realized where the hotel is. Then walked to hotel, hauled luggage around… I would not want to do this in winter in cold/rain.
  
  What could be improved: Long version, perhaps helpful for others:
  1) The hotel is located inside(!) a shopping/eatery district “Berga Basar”, and is NOT visible nor accessible by car from either street. There are flags and signs for Berga Basar but the hotel “Bergs Suites” is not advertised.
  Parking lot entrance is on “Krisjna Barone vela” while the pedestrian main access is from "Marijas ilea”. If your map takes you to Krisjana (ours did) – too bad! Because your license plate needs to be registered first before a guard will open the gate.
  2) If you finally find yourself to the main entrance, there is no short term parking whatsoever for loading. We ended up Euro-Park close by, paid 3e short term, walked to hotel and sorted everything out.
  3) Next: be advised, your room key does NOT open the back-door of the hotel that is next to the car park and level with elevator. So we ended up dragging our luggage around to the front, up the stairs, just to be told “oh, you should have asked us about the access key”. Wait, What? How would we have known? How about volunteering this information? : )
  Anyway – once you are checked in, it’s a wonderful hotel. Can fully recommend

• Great for parents with babies – Youssef from United Arab Emirates – 6 June 2025 (10/10)

  The room was spacious and the small kitchen very useful as we came with a baby. Having a laundry room in the basement is also an excellent idea and super useful for those who stay for more than a few days.

• Would recommend! – Salla from Finland – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  Staff was mainly helpfull and nice, room was spacious and clean. Location is close to everything but quiet enough to get good sleep
  
  What could be improved: Selection at breakfast could have been more varied

• Outstanding! – Richard from United Kingdom – 23 May 2025 (10/10)

  We stay in hotels for getting on towards 100 nights per year and Hotel Bergs Suites is as good as any hotel we have stayed in. A most enjoyable stay!

• Superb – Soukup from Czech Republic – 15 May 2025 (9/10)

  Roomy appartment with a kitchenette.

• Very good – Sandris from Latvia – 17 March 2025 (8/10)

  This hotel used to be the one of the TOP hotels in Riga and it is still great experience to stay there, especially due to comfort , location and unique surrounding area that hotel can offer. We got a very big room with great bed, corner view and small kitchen so stay was amazing. I would recommend for short or long stay when in Riga especially because of close proximity to multiple good restaurants and city center
  
  What could be improved: The hotel is not maintained to the same high standards as it once was, with some furniture, especially at the reception, showing signs of wear.
  The staff service may not consistently meet the expectations of a five-star hotel.
