I was traveling by myself and had never been to Richmond. Not knowing my way around, the Berkeley was a perfect fit. Centrally located, I was able to walk to museums, restaurants and bars. I opted for the Valet parking service instead of a parking garage and found it very accessible and the waits to retrieve the car was not... More

Stayed at the Berkeley one night on business. The hotel is in a fab locale, and well priced. The bar across the street is absolutely gorgeous. And there is a Starbucks a half block away. The hotels downtown location makes it easy to access Richmond, and the character of the hotel is darling. Its a refurbished old bldg, and everything... More

We stayed at the Berkeley the night before and the two nights following our wedding. The positives: The location was perfect for us - all of our guests stayed at other local hotels so we had some privacy, and many of our wedding events took place in Shokoe Slip, so we could easily walk there due to this hotel's location....

We took advantage of a travelzoo voucher to spend the weekend at the Berkeley at a discounted rate that included free parking and a $50 restaurant credit (no tips, taxes or alcoholic drinks). The hotel is located in Shockoe Slip, a redeveloped area of Richmond that is heavy on bars and restaurants and within easy walking distance to the exquisite... More

This is a beautiful historic hotel with great wifi reception. You can walk to many restaurants and very convenient to the expressway. The main problem is the valet parking...they park your car about 4 blocks away and on one of the days we stayed there, the bellman had called out so it took 22 minutes for us to get our... More

We just spent the weekend here for our anniversary. It was a wonderful experience. We booked a standard room which turned out to be quite large. The free wifi kicks in instantaneously.

The Jefferson is admittedly the 'Grande Dame' among Richmond hotels but the Berkeley is in a more interesting and lively neighborhood, and is more affordable besides. Visit the Jefferson to see the breathtaking public spaces but stay at the Berkeley! The Berkeley is located in the Shockoe Slip neighborhood, which has many restaurants, bars, boutiques and even a deli/market adjacent.... More
