Latvia Arrived on 18th May only to be greeted by the receptionist with 'we have a slight problem'. The three rooms we had booked had become unavailable the previous night. So we were offered a choice of 2 hotels to go to and return the following day. We went to the Elefant which is way out of the city for... More

This hotel is in a quiet area, a fifteen minute walk from Old Riga. Excellent service in reception and a good sized, clean room. The free WiFi is a perfect way to use your i-gadgets to plan the Riga visit.

My fiancee and I stayed here for a long weekend in May. Good points - good central location to the city, nice range of foods available for breakfast. Bad points - beds in rooms were very hard, we both had a bad back after leaving. Staff on reception desk were very unhelpful and didnt really want to help when asked... More

The staff were friendlly and helpful... More

The Gertrude is a lovely hotel and great value. The room we had was very large, warm and cosy. The bed was really comfy and the room was nicely decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The buffet breakfast was great (there was even free champagne), though the staff did get a little overwhelmed on the busy weekend. The hotel... More

We had a 5-person sport club visiting the Gertrude on Feb 2013. Service was good, rooms were clean and it was really nice to get an early breakfast 30 mins before the "official" breakfast time. And very near to the hotel there is a Very Good place to eat and spend the evening, Lido Restaurant. Area is calm and the... More
