Stayed in one of the rooms (405) with some kind of wheel in the room that comes to within a couple of feet if the floor. Looked very quirky and old, but it was totally impractical as it was in between the bed and the toilet. Fortunately, didn't drink that much, so didn't bang in to it. Room smelt a... More

The Hotel was in a very good position for walking round all the sites of Riga. We took the .50 Lat No 22 Bus from the Airport, it was about a 5mins walk to the hotel from the bus stop just after you cross the river. The Hotel itself, was oldie worlde, which we loved, even the waiting staff wore... More

The hotel is placed in the old town in Riga, very close to city centre. The atmosphere of the hotel brings you back to old time, with its old style furniture, but the comfort is modern. My room was clean and nice, even if small. Personnel is quite gentle and you have the impression of be very welcomed. The breakfast... More

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at the Gutenbergs. The location is right in the old town - an easy walk to all of old Riga and the Art Nouveau district was only about 20 minutes on foot. The staff were lovely, spoke good English and were friendly, polite and helpful. Rooms fairly small but adequate with a mini bar... More

We stayed there at the weekend. As there is a nightclub opposite, it was very noisy at nighttime. Classical old, floors not even in some rooms (makes you feel as onboard of a ship). Breakfast ok but nothing special.

One of the best things about this hotel is the location. It is on the edge of old town. Everything in Old Town is in walking distance. The room that we stayed in was small but had all we needed and was very clean and neat. The only odd thing about the room was it was not level. The whole... More

Very well located in the city close to the centre. Rooms are spacious and decent. the hotel overall has character. I have stayed several times and have found the staff friendly. I have never even in the restaurant so cannot comment on dinners, but the breakfast is of a good standard

We arrived her by overnight train from St Petersburg so we were very early . The receptionist however made sure our room was ready quickly and couldn't have been more helpful. The room was quaint (sloping floor) but comfortable and breakfast was plentiful. The location was very central-this can be a problem in Riga as it is a bit of... More
