To start with the hotel is in an excellent location well within easy transport links and walking distance of main locations and restaurants. It’s in the old town too which is a top area for exploring. The staff member who works mostly week day time was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. I was originally booked into an economy double for the duration of my stay. This was from a Thursday to Monday but when I originally booked I couldn’t book like this which I think was a glitch with the system on booking.com as the same room was available. Unfortunately the room I stayed in the first night looked over onto the street which is right next to a back packers hostel and a few bars. I believe this may be the situation with a number of the economy rooms as when I asked to be moved there was nothing else they could offer elsewhere. There was nothing else wrong with the room, and if you aren’t a light sleeper then probably could manage it but I really struggled. In the end I was able to upgrade to a more expensive room for the rest of the stay which was on the other side of the hotel. I didn’t encounter any of the noise issues. Some small points which I found a bit odd. They had double beds in both rooms but 2 x single duvets which is a bit annoying. Also unlike lots of international hotels they did have kettles and tea bags!! But no milk. I did source my own milk from breakfast, but it is easy to provide the little long life milk options for rooms. Others have remarked on breakfast. It is absolutely fine, but worth noting there are a lot of local options, but there is still plenty of choice including for veggies like me so I didn’t have an issue.

We had a premium room for 4-persons, that in reality consisted of two well sized double rooms with connecting doors. Worked great for me and my family. Beautifully decorated rooms, clean and bright. Comfortable beds. Two bathrooms that were functional. Good windows that isolated the sound from the street outside. Very central location! Got the car parked close to the hotel (with extra cost), but not many parking spaces near by. Recommend eating affordable local food at one of the Lido restaurants and visiting the Central Market close to the hotel.

Air conditioning was not sufficient in the premium rooms on the 4:th floor, so the room was a bit too hot in the night and you could not open the windows because of the noice in the street. Breakfast was ok but I would have liked some better quality bread like bread rolls. We brought the food to our room, because the breakfast room was ful. I would have expected better air conditioning and mabye a bit nicer breakfast experience for the price we paid. But as a whole the hotel was quite nice!

Fantastic location, very clean room and facilities, comfortable bed, was greeted by the most courteous receptionist who described all the local attractions and made us feel very welcome

Having to leave

The staff, especially the receptionist, Marina, were totally amazing. They told us about landmarks and were understanding when we needed to split the bill to cash and card. It gave us the feel of 4 stars, without taking away the heartful demeanor. The cleaning staff always left the room spotless and even managed to find small pieces pf jewellery we thought we had lost forever.

As a person who likes a sweet breakfast I felt there werent that many options except pancakes with jam/nutella, pastries and cereal. I would have liked little cakes, bigger croissants and more fruit. Having said that, the coffee tasted great and I like that as a side dish they served wakame salad, which I adored and haven't seen done at any other acommodation.

Absolutely loved this hotel, location was perfect, when we checked in the receptionist was so friendly and helpful, her name was Maria and every day of our stay she gave us great tips on where to visit and was exceptional at her job. Can't recommend this hotel enough.

The only thing we found was our door lock was a bit loose and needed a good bang to make sure it was closed properly but we informed a guy on reception and he said they would get it looked at. Other than that there was nothing we disliked and that was only a maintenance problem that happens over time.

Good location..Across the road from the bus station and a 5min walk to the old town and a number of restaurants and shops. The room was lovely, spacious and clean. There is air con but it didn't seem to be very powerful and we found the room uncomfortably warm even when it was on fully. There is a mini bar in the room and tea/ coffee making facilities. The TV has a number of English channels which is nice if you want to relax in the room. The bed sheets didn't seem to fit the bed which was strange and there was only 1 pillow provided per person. Overall, the hotel location, decor and staff are great however if you want to visit during the summer I'd chose somewhere that has better air con!

The breakfast was ok.. nothing special. The lack of good air con makes the room quite stuffy and uncomfortable during hot weather.

All was wonderful. Very caring and forthcoming staff. We enjoyed every minute of the stay. The room was very clean and the jacuzzi bath was amazing. The balcony made us feel like cats on the roof. :) We felt well taken care of. Had the sparkling wine and fruit platter ordered upon arrival which was amazing. The room had bathrobes and slippers so it was very nice after the jacuzzi to just lay down in the very comfy bed and drift off to sleep. The breakfast was also amazing. It had everything and it tasted great. The stay was so good we felt sorry we only booked a one nights stay as we did not want to leave.

Maybe the only thing that would have made the stay even better if the TV would have been a smart TV.

I stayed in the hotel second time,last time was exactly a year ago. I booked a top floor room with a balcony and jacuzzi.I love it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent-a big choice and all fresh and tasty. I left my luggage there as checkout was 12:00 but my flight was at 23:00. Location is perfect in old Riga a few steps away from the restaurants,pubs and shops.The public transport -trams,buses,trolleybuses ,minicabs,train station,bus station all steps away. There is a canal boat 2 minutes walking distance.

Nothing really to say-liked everything.

Everything was amazing and perfect. Location is great, mall inside old city in two minutes, local market in 5 minutes, central train station in 10 minutes(another mall there). Breakfast was 5 star and very delicious, room was fine and tv english channels ok. Reception staff more than helpful and super friendly. Great value hotel, I recommend. Also try visit one day Sigulda town 2€ train ticket, one hour, very nice, Turaida tower, Gauja river, and teleferic ride there. Everywhere we went, there was free wi-fi and great free attractions in town, war museum, public library (great view), many parks to walk, freedom square, churches.

What we did not like is the fact that the taxi charged us 10€ from the bus station we arrived to the hotel. Taxi driver made 2-3 circles in same blocks for no reason. From the central bus station to the hotel, maximum time is 3-5 minutes on foot. (200-300 meters). Also watch out for cold-snow. If temperature drops below -15, it is very cold especially for people from south europe. Also very good boots for snow is necessary and isothermic top clothes.

Hotel centrally located. Could not have been better, shopping mall just round the corner, restaurants etc. Central bus station just across the road and railway station a few feet further up. The Central Market also is near the Bus station. Lots of stalls inside, with everything you can imagine, food,sweets, footwear etc. Receptionist who works mornings is ever so lovely. Very helpful.

Choice of breakfast could be better, there is a choice of course but for example eggs can be varied not always the same. Apart from that nothing to complain about really.
