Lock in a great price for Hotel Gutenbergs – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

Fantastic location and very romantic room. Tea and coffee in the room, and a very good comprehensive breakfast buffet.

Andrew, United Kingdom

Converted house/printing press with lots of character. Very convenient for sight-seeing being centrally placed in Riga Old Town near Cathedral.

Jane, United Kingdom

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful.

Keith, United Kingdom

Hotel was very cozy and authentic. For clients with wheelchairs and baby strollers it might be challenging to climb some stairs since there are few steps to reach reception and your room (there is an elevator, however you cannot avoid stairs). However staff was very helpful and we definitely will return to this hotel. Breakfast was very very good. Perfect location. Car parking might be expensive, though on Sundays it is free 100 meters from the hotel.

Arunas, Lithuania

Good choice at breakfast. Nice coffee choice of eggs etc. Great location in heart of the old town.

John, United Kingdom

The staff were friendly proficient in English and willing to help with any request. Location was excellent and within walking distance to everything of interest. Breakfast had good variety of food to chose from. Rooftop restaurant was a great experience particularly as weather was warm and sunny. Rooms well appointed a nd spacious.

It's a lovely vintage hotel ! Has a fab restaurant on the roof ! Breakfast is fab ! Basically , if you want to stay in Riga - then this is where !

Madara, United Kingdom

The hotel is in a great location to see the Old Town, travel to Jurmana by train, visit the markets or take a river cruise. All are very close to or within a 5-10 minute walk. The room was a good size with large bathroom and comfortable bed. Room had TV and free wi-fi. There is plenty of hanging space for clothes and iron and ironing board are available upon request. The reception staff are helpful with booking transfers. The restaurant on the roof had great views, delicious meals and attentive staff

Michael, Australia

Ideal location. Just in the center of old Riga, near the Dome Cathedral. Easy to walk there from the coach station or railway station. Big RIMI supermarket nearby. Close to the tram stops. We went there on foot. Fast check-in. Old building with its own history (Gutenberg's printing house). Nice lobby. Very good free welcome drink in the nice rooftop bar with wonderful view. Room was spacious and clean enough. Working elevator. Very reasonable price. Nice breakfast, tasty and fresh food.

눉This isn't really a criticism, more of an observation, as we choose to be vegans and are in the minority. However, whilst there was soya milk available, our breakfast options were very limited. The restaurant couldn't cater for us at all. However we found some great places in the city.
눇We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful.

눉Room proportion was a bit odd, very tall ceiling (because old building) which had the effect of making the room seem quite narrow, small. But quite comfortable.
눇Good choice at breakfast. Nice coffee choice of eggs etc. Great location in heart of the old town.

- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The room we had on level 3 was at the back of the hotel and was very noisy sometimes with garbage trucks outside ta 3am and revelers going home from nearby pubs and restaurants being noisy. The room we were in had a perceptible slope from one side of the room to the other. While the exposed timber beams were beautiful they did present as a hazard.
눇The hotel is in a great location to see the Old Town, travel to Jurmana by train, visit the markets or take a river cruise. All are very close to or within a 5-10 minute walk. The room was a good size with large bathroom and comfortable bed. Room had TV and free wi-fi. There is plenty of hanging space for clothes and iron and ironing board are available upon request.

“Good location and reasonable price”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Strange room design with wooden beams in the room and inclined floor. Feeling of emptiness, like it is still unfinished. Mold smell in the bathroom from the sewer pipes. The hotel made a pre-authorization of total room price before our check in. They just put money on hold and performed a final charge at the check-in. Reception clerk made a photocopy of ID card at the check-in. Why do they need it? "Double" bed was actually two separate beds shifted one to another, which sometimes slide away. No loyalty program for frequent guests.
눇Ideal location. Just in the center of old Riga, near the Dome Cathedral. Easy to walk there from the coach station or railway station. Big RIMI supermarket nearby. Close to the tram stops. We went there on foot. Fast check-in. Old building with its own history (Gutenberg's printing house). Nice lobby. Very good free welcome drink in the nice rooftop bar with wonderful view.
