First the good news. Great location, right off the square. However, unless you get a junior suite, the rooms are very small. Our room was tilted, you literally walked downhill to the bathroom. Some lights did not work, and the small rooms have a tiny window which makes them dark. Our hairdryer broke the first day and they did not... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night and get the room no. 105 near the reception, where we heard every guest coming late at night. The room was very small with no view from the window. When we asked about the taxi to the airport, the receptionist told us the price 10 LVL, but the driver wanted 12 LVL.... More

The hotel has a certain charm, not exactly my taste, but ok. Next time I will stay in Tallink or Radisson that can surely give customer-satisfaction guarantee. The receptionist was not particulary polite or caring, was just doing the JOB. The twin room was very small, no place for bags. But the breakfast room surprised me positively with both its... More

Friendly reception. A bit dark in the lobby, but cozy. There is an Apple computer in the lobby that you can use free of charge. There is a restaurant with a terrace on the hotel roof, but it was closed, and we were very upset with it. Maybe because it was raining, I don't know. Location is very central. More

This is an exceptional hotel. The location is superb. The staff from the Reception and Restaurant is polite, helpful and very professional. I would highly recommend this hotel and its wonderful staff to all discerning travelers. If you would like to try grilled dishes in Latvian traditional style definitely visit also family restaurant Alibi. The best grilled dishes in Old... More

I travel to Riga a lot on business and decided to try out this hotel. It's in the old town, so the building is old and the decor matches. If you want something more modern, try the Radisson hotels for example, but if you like the atmosphere of old buildings, this one is great. The breakfast was ok, didn't use... More

We stayed in the front part of the hotel. Very quiet and relaxing environment but lacking simple basics like tea & coffe making facilities. Didn't use the hotel's restaurant as there are loads of eateries nearby. Likewise the bar. Overall it was a nice hotel but the rooms were disappointing. More

Very nice hotel and staff for an excellent location. The rooms are confortable and quiet. Services offer a very good quality. At least but not last, the restaurant is interesting too and persons of the hotel who serve are friendly. About this beautiful city : museums of occupation (free of charge) or museum of navigation are very " attractive "... More

I was in this in hotel 3 years ago, so i decided to book because they had also "family rooms". We were 8, the two rooms on 4th floor were terrible. 401 (the famiily room) and 405 are in the old part of the building. 405 has a huge wood wheel inside where you hit your head every time you... More
