Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a great choice overall. The rooms were a good size and excellent value for money, though a bit small for three guests. The service was a mix of friendly and not so knowledgeable staff, with a seamless room change upon request. The location was central and convenient, offering easy access to major attractions and public transport. The dining experience was delightful, although the menu could use a bit more variety. The facilities were good, with everything you'd expect for a comfortable stay.
The hotel's rooms were lovely, and even though there were minor connection troubles with the wireless internet, it was still tolerable for work. However, my room faced a horrible inner courtyard, dark, and dingy, making me not want to stay there.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The room, though cozy, was stylish, super clean, and comfortable with a very nice and well-equipped setup. While it wasn't as spacious as expected for a Superior room, the overall experience was satisfactory. The service was exceptional, with the staff being extremely helpful, courteous, and accommodating. The location was central and convenient, although facing the main street made it noisy at times. Dining options were decent but had some room for improvement. The facilities, including the sauna and pool, were a nice addition to the stay.
The hotel had an interesting attic room, but lacked proper management as sitting areas were often unavailable and tables uncleared. It didn't match the expectations set by website pictures, making it feel more like an attic than a welcoming space.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I had was spacious and well equipped with a big and comfortable bed, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable, relying on an inefficient fan placed right next to the bed. The location was fantastic, close to many restaurants and landmarks in Riga, which was very convenient. The service was hit or miss, with some staff offering mini-bar water but others failing to communicate about luggage arrival promptly. The dining options were satisfactory, though needing some improvement in freshness. Overall, it was a decent stay with some notable drawbacks to consider.
The hotel's location is excellent for exploring Riga Old City and traveling around Latvia, with the largest train station and international bus terminal nearby. The friendly staff provides great service, making the stay pleasant. However, the presence of noisy children affected the relaxation vibe, and some room cleanliness issues were noted.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll from the railway station, coach station, and the old town, but the room facing the busy four-lane highway was a downside. The friendly staff tried their best to assist me after my wallet was stolen, but service delays due to staff shortage were noticeable. The dining experience was hit or miss with quick turnovers due to large groups. The facilities were satisfactory without any standout features.
The hotel had angled ceilings with skylights, which gave a unique touch, but the room felt small for three guests. The swimming pool was tiny but usable, though the room was uncomfortably hot during the night.
The hotel is centrally located, just across the street from the train station and a short walk from the bus station and Old Riga. The rooms felt a bit cramped and outdated, with a broken fan, but overall not too bad. The service was really helpful and accommodating, and the staff communicated well. The dining experience was nice but lacked variety. The location is very convenient but can be noisy. A decent stay overall.
The hotel is conveniently located outside the old city center, with a short walk to major attractions, comfortable rooms, and a nice breakfast. The unfriendly service and small windowless rooms were drawbacks, but the friendly staff and sauna facilities were positive highlights.
