Big room and big bathroom, location next to the river (30 min walk from city centre, though), big supermarket in walking distance (10-12 min), protected parking lot for free, free internet, very recently opened (I.E. facilities are in a good shape) The hotel (?) dog barking extensely early morning, very limited number of tv channels in only three languages (only Latvian, Russian and English), breakfast on working days is a bit simplistic (during the weekends it is better, though), white curtains hardly dim the sun light (difficult for people that need dark rooms to sleep).

Enjoy watching the river traffic against the lights of the old town. 1.5 km from the nearest bridge over the Daugava, but you can leave your car in the parking lot of the department store, it's free, walk over the bridge and you're in the old town.

Really huge apartments. Nice view of the river, very quiet place. No so easy to get to Old Town (on foot rather far) Taxi costs 3lvl to get across the bridge. Would be very cool to have opportunity to rent a bike in a hotel (and then leave it in center — like balticbikes do). On check-in you'll need LVL's to pay right away (euro won't work).

Riverside location... And I had the best riverview from my window. I didn't dare to close the view with curtains which was ok as I needed early wake up call (btw, the sunrise is from the side of Old Riga). Also the Factory Restaurant is close by. And breakfast offer was ok for my taste. Not too rich in hot dishes, but the offer of cold dishes was enough for me. Try Karums curd as well. You will like it. Don't stay in this hotel if you want to be close to Old city as it is 30 mins walking. The neighbourhood is different from old and worn houses to new and poshy renovated houses. Also I hope that internet will work in this hotel always, I had no opportunity for that while I stayed there.

This is a small, but nice hotell. We had a good stay with big room and it was clean and with nice furnituring. Breakfast was good! It`s kind of a low budget hotel (we paid 50 euro a night) and it`s about 2km outside of the old-town and on the other side of the bridge. We came by ferry and its easy to find. Some has written on the comments that it`s in a bad neighbourhood but I don`t think its that bad. It`s outside of the city-centre.. Yes, and you can see very old crappy houses and new houses around I the area of the hotel. I believe it`s just a country, working hard to keep up after beeing independent as a country and you will see this all over the place. We had a motorcycle but it felt safe to park outside the hotel since they had a fence around the area. I`m sorry to say, the beds/matresses were not comfertable at all.and these were very hard and old.We like soft beds but If you are not to picky when it comes to the bed I would recommend this hotel if not, find another one.

Friendly staff, room was very nice in general. Great place to stay,when you don't want to visit Riga city center or even Old Town by foot. Location. Cant's say that is 15 min to Riga Old Town, more like 30 min and not so safe maybe (many old houses, poor local people), especially with children.

Nice clean hotel and rooms are as displayed in the pictures. Friendly staff. Hotel is not located in the best of areas in that many of the buildings are in a poor state of repair, however it's a great place to stay. Breakfast was a bit mean

Huge room, good breakfast, nice views, great value for money. Cannot be reached by public transport unless you are prepared to haul your luggage 2 km through a run-down area (which at night seems completely deserted), so only suitable for those with a car or those prepared to do a lot of walking or travel by taxi.

Big 4* rooms for a 2* price with nice staff a great river view. It's simply a weird location. If you want to be in the centre of town or have bars etc that you can wander out to in the evening then the Vantis is not for you (it's surrounded by nothing but derelict buildings and the river) but if you want to enjoy the long evenings watching the river traffic against the lights of the old town then you can't do better!
