“business stay in Riga”

눇Location, right in center of Riga. Building, old charming building in a narrow side road. Old Riga sightseeing a real stonethrow from hotel. Very friendly and committed receptionists very helpful for any advice on restaurants, taxi booking. A nice place to stay, if you like old charming mansion. (no lift available, but starway not so steep!)

눉The only flaw was the unstable wifi connection. It was fine for my use of occasionally checking email. However my husband had work to do and found it extremely frustrating. The connection was better after midnight but he shouldn't be working on holiday anyway.
눇Our room was lovely! Some Latvian friends expressed concern about our hotel worrying that the location is loud. It wasn't. The street is a quiet charming alley and our room was offa courtyard. The only noises I heard in my room was the fountain in the courtyard and the birds. My aunt and uncle were at other accommodations and said it was extremely loud. Our room was comfortable. The staff was charming and helpful and the breakfast was perfect. I would stay here again and recommend it to others.

“Lovely hotel, great staff, super convenient for old town”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The only slightly negative thing we can think of is that the hotel does not provide a kettle / tea and coffee making facilities in rooms as standard, which we would expect from a hotel of this category. However, we asked them for one and it was provided when we arrived, so everything worked out fine for us.
눇Lovely comfortable hotel in a superb location for all the sights and restaurants in the old town of Riga which are all within a few steps of the hotel. Really helpful and friendly staff. Room was simple, but super clean and comfortable and we had three great nights of sleep here. The bathroom had a full size bath as well as a shower over, which was a definite bonus for us. Breakfast was a plentiful buffet, with porridge and fried eggs cooked fresh to order. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

“The hotel is overpriced”

눉The value doesn't correspond with the price of the property. The hotel is poorly renovated, from the upstairs room you can hear everything happening at the reception. The bathroom isn't clean enough, the shower holder didn't move up and down, bedsheets were dusty. Overall, it's overpriced, for this price you can get something nicer in Riga.
눇The only good thing about this hotel is its location.

눉Not a lot really
눇I loved the hotel, a listed building in the very centre of Riga with a small courtyard. Very clean room and delightful helpful staff, breakfast was included, fairly basic but adequate. I have to mention the restaurant however, the room in which breakfast is served, is run separately as an Italian restaurant named Sale & Pepe from noon until 10.00 pm, by a charming young couple and a gifted Italian chef. Boy is this eatery fantastic! we ate our main meal, lunch or dinner there every day for nearly two weeks. Simply no need to look further!

“Very nice hotel with thin walls”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Classic Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
눉The room was good but it was located on the top floor which has a tilted roof meaning that tall people would have had trouble with the height of the ceiling in the toilette area. There was a window at an angle in the roof which I has to ask to have it closed because I could not do it myself. Despite the hotel being quite small and not having barely any neighboring rooms, the walls were too thin. I could hear the person in the room next to mine whistling. This was so annoying I was very close to knocking on the door and asking him to stop.
눇Great location in old town with a big number of restaurants and bars near by. The staff was very nice. When there was some trouble with my debit card the manager was super nice and identified the issue for the hotel to process my payment with that method. Everyone is super friendly and willing to help and answer my questions. Breakfast was fine. Nothing amazing but yoghurt, cereals, bread, coffee (which you had to order to have it made), hot food (which I do not tend to eat during breakfast so I cannot say much), juice and ham and cheese. It was good but maybe there could have been more fruit or something else.

English was well spoken widely. The hotel Italian restaurant was a welcome addition and reasonably priced. A great venue and centrally placed in the old town, a stone throw from the opera house.
