We had a two day stay in Berzkalni Hotel, which is situated in the rural southern part of Latvia, close to the border with Estonia. On a bed and breakfast boarding, we found our room spacious and our breakfast good. There is no air conditioning though, which did hamper our night a little, however, our room at the front of the hotel did have two very large windows which we did open.

The rooms are one flight up but there is no elevator, so we hauled our suitcases up and down the stairs ourselves. The dining room was deserted and unappealing, so we had dinner at a lively and pleasant little restaurant on Bauska's town square. All in all, the Berzkalni was convenient and serviceable,...

Stuff was very kind and helpfull. They hove 2 big cats in lobby that was laying on soffa - I think it is good marketing to families with children. Try to use this hotel spa - turkish bath You wil not regreat that - that was best Turkish bath I had. There is a coffe , but we do not use it so can not make a rewiew. The Bauska town is very nice - clean and the best is to use - if You came from city the brige that is used only by pedestrians - it is one good shaky bridge. Maybe for business people this place will be not, but by relax it is...
