Отель понравился, очень приветливые девушки на рецепшен, всегда готовы помочь. Номер большой, светлый, все относительно новое и свежее. Доп кровать стояла и мы даже ее не замечали. Хорошие завтраки, с хорошим кофе из кофемашины. Расположение очень хорошее если вы на машине, есть своя парковка. Место прям на реке - очень красивое и тихое.

Very nice hotel, with an amazing view of the river. Clean and spacious rooms, completely equipped bathrooms and wi-fi connection. Simple but very good breakfast. Be careful of the futon-like beds: it could be a little difficult to get up from them. The location is definitely a little far from the city and it's quite difficult getting to it even if you have a gps, but the view on the river and the peace you feel may justify the downside.

Lovely small hotel on Kipsala island. Super location by Daugava river, nice view. Comfortable beds, quite cozy feeling. Fair breakfast. The air-freshener used in the room was too much and very annoying scent, enough to give a headache.

Our family loved the hotel location -- facing the Daugava river and enjoying a fresh breeze from it. The walk to the old part of the town took around 20 minutes. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast pleasantly surprised with a nice selection of fresh products and excellent coffee from a coffee machine. A guarded parking lot is also an advantage. We had some slight difficulty finding the hotel -- an additional sign or two on the way could help a lot.

We have a good staying in the hotel. Good breakfast, all necessary in the bathroom, friendly staff. Very good location for those who is travelling by car, for others will be difficult to find and get to the hotel (by taxi only or 20-30 min walk from bus station).Nice view from embankment and possible to seat in the chair on the Dougava river on sunny day. Private parking with enough place. Easy to get to Yurmala by car from the hotel. Suppose, the cleaning is not excellent, but we cannot say tit was bad or good, because we did not stay so many days

We are very happy that we chose this hotel. Breakfast was excellent, especially very tasty pancakes with cheese. The room was spacious, with a great view on the river and the old city. The hotel is situated on the island but it takes max. 25 minutes to walk to the old town. A shopping center is 15 minutes walk from the hotel. Car park is very safe and guarded 24 hours. We think that this hotel is a great place for tourists that wish to enjoy Riga. The neighbourhood is not the most prestigious one but it is still quite safe.

Big room, good continental breakfast. Nice view to Riga center amd old town + harbor view. Location is good if you have a car or ready to use taxi. Otherwise you are little bit isolated from city old town by distance. We traveled with 4years old kid therefore 3..4 km to the edge of old town was little bit too much for us.

The WIFI internet, bed and airconditioning were the best things i've experienced in the hotel. It was very comfortable sleeping, like it was my own bedroom at home. The wifi internet was not the fastest, but i could easily search my way trough information that i needed and i had no disconnections.. So in general it felt really comfortable staying at this hotel this far.. If i visiting Riga again, i would definitely try to stay at this hotel again. It looks like this hotel is very safe secured from the outside world also, except the approach from the water could be a vulnerability for the safety. I had no time to inspect that more deeply, but i have noticed that it differs significant from the ground side.. They might want to check this.. Also the breakfast i liked very much... It's simple deployed in a special room as a small buffet, it might not meet de requirements of everyone. But i liked the simplicity and when proceeded my travel by airplane and car for lots of hours, my stomach was rich filled with breakfast providing a good jumpstart after a really good night going out that turned out to be heavily much later as i had planned... I went to "The Club" if you might wonder.. (taxi about 5 levs) I can recommend it visiting, but there is something wrong with the beer or else, it's really expensive for 3.5 Levs (33cl bottle) and it caused a heavy headache while i usually can drink many liters beer without any problems / direct health failures.. Also it's possible someone tried to drugged me, be aware that in Riga that is regulary told by people.. Maybe i was lucky to have a pretty strong mind, but it does not harm to make you again have an awareness for this... All the camera's in Riga make you feel safe, but not everything is casted out here with these devices... The most annoying thing in the hotel is that the walls are not damping / blocking the sound from inside the hotels other rooms and lobby... Therefore i would recommend the hotels management to have a strict policy to force their guests and workers to keep them quiet in the later en early hours... Not every person experience sound as the same and that could make visitors not be aware that they are making too much noise that disrupting other guests... So the first and at no costs step is to make all the guests and workers aware that their noise could be ignorant for other guests and polite ask them coörperation in and strict maintain this policy could make a huge difference i think.. I was lucky the hotel is pretty new and not very occupied at the time i stayed, but when more guests are staying here, this problem will expand with devastating exponential volume of noise. That is an inavoidable prediction... Also i would recommend to place panels to the walls or ceiling to improve the acoustics, because it's current acoustics is amplifying small sounds to a higher volume too bad... I'm hoping to help the owners of this hotel with this all of my given information as well, they did a good job this far... It would be a shame if the pleasure would collapse when there are more guests in this hotel caused by ignorant sound...

Located on the bank of Daugava. Good view on the river and harbour. Quiet place. Big room. A little bit too far from the city center on foot - better use taxi. Sound isolation is not quite good.

Loved the location, the cleanliness of the room, the view and the room size. The place is easily accessible by car, safe parking, good starting point to access many locations in the city, both sides of the river. The breakfast was simple but plenty, good quality food and coffee. The staff is pretty cold, seems as they just do their job at gunpoint. I don't usually make too much friends with reception nor need to be pampered with their love, but a simple "how are you?" or "is everything fine?" can do miracles sometimes. Nevertheless I'll gladly return to the place with hope it will change. Thank you, Hotel Vantis.
