This hotel was absolutely wonderful and in a perfect location. The Front desk was kind and very helpful on everything level . The room was very quiet and clean — I loved the hotel. The Valet service especially Angel was extremely helpful, kind and courteous and was the best part of my stay at the Berkeley. It’s the small details that matter and valet service like Angel makes the difference in a hotel stay. The Berkeley hotel is my hotel for all my trips to Richmond and make sure to ask for Angel — he is one of the best !!!

We have stayed at the Berkeley for years. This stay was very disappointing. Renovations are underway so check in was noisy. Our room had no hangers, there was no shelf in the shower, and it took 10 minutes running water to get any hot water. The bathroom door had glass panels and automatic motion sensor lights, so when you entered the person sleeping was awake by the lights. The auto on light was on for about 10 seconds so it went off while you were in the bathroom. Poorly designed

Even though the Berkeley is going through a marvelous upgrade, the staff was attentive and positive. We received great attention when requested; and every person welcomed us, from front desk to bell captain. We loved the vibe and look forward to returning when renovations are complete.

I've stayed here a few times now, and it's convenient, but not a four-star property. You will be unhappy in the unrenovated rooms: the thermostat inevitably doesn't work properly, the mattress is hard/lumpy, and some linens literally threadbare/frayed. The new design is sophisticated enough, with a *great* lighting plan (integrated, intuitive, right color temp), comfortable bed, responsive thermostat, and roller shades with edges covered by slats. But even with that, you quickly notice issues: a clogged shower drain leaving you racing to shower quickly before it overflowed; another one with no niche for your items so you have to leave them on the floor and a shower handle either broken or installed incorrectly, making it hard to get warm water or to turn it off when it got scalding. Even little things: there's no extra blanket; all the pillows are the same overfilled poly, too tall for your neck; at late night, they blocked the door with a trash can, making the lobby smell like garbage. More importantly, they should have taken all that $$ and invested it in soundproofing: you hear the elevator, people in the hallway, the construction on the floor above, & the cleaning crew outside. Not that I would have needed that, because (despite the DND tag) they not only knocked on my door but called to see if I was still there (yes but no longer asleep). The woman on duty was very professional and apologetic but others less so. I'll stay here if my fav hotel is booked/too pricey but FYI
