From 11 pm to 3-4 am there was severe construction outside and no way to sleep. The hotel should have warned us, or put us on a side of the hotel where the contruction was not happening.

Wouldn't go back. Too dirty. Too old. Too tired. No attention to detail or they'd clean the coffee pots, dirt in the corners, stains on the doors and walls, worn carpet, etc. Staff was friendly but the whole place needs refurbishing.

Good hotel in downtown Richmond
The Berkeley was a very convenient hotel for staying in downtown Richmond. Central location and within walking distance to a lot of cool restaurants and bars. I also liked that it was on a cobble stone road. It has a nice historic charm to it as well, but the room could use some more modern upgrades. The man who checked us in was very sweet but the woman who was there at other times could have been more friendly.

I stayed here with my sister as a one night getaway, and we had the best time! Richmond is such a cool city, and this hotel is in a great location. The view from our balcony was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and spacious. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Classic Hotel in Shockoe Slip
Visiting with out of town friends. The hotel was within the historic area we wished to visit and, with the use of Lyft/Uber, we were able too get everywhere. The hotel restaurant was quite good as were the neighboring Urban Farmhouse, Capital Waffle House, and Tobacco Company Restaurant. We recommend the hotel very highly.
