“Average place, slightly run-down rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011

Stayed in Pegasa Pils with friends for one night in December 2011 while on a weekend in Riga.

The place looks very attractive otside - like a wooden castle. Inside, it´s slightly run-down and Soviet-era style.

Our room was on the second floor in the second building, across parking lot from the main / reception building. Room had bright orange wallpaper on the walls and a carpet. There were bed, wardrobe, desk and fridge in the room. First thing I noticed as I entered the room was the noise of fridge - it was just awful how loud and noisy it was! So we just switched it off. The bed was comfy enough to have a good sleep. But the heaters in our room didn´t work so it was quite chilly - the room had large window and French-style balcony so without a heater it was quite cold. Especially in the bathroom - the tiled floor was very cold. After teking a shower it was really cold so had to get under the blanket fast. The bathroom was clean, although shampoo and shower gel provided looked like they´ve been there for several years so I prefered not to try and used my own ones.

Everything in the room looked like real Soviet-time almost-luxury. There´s supposed to be WiFi in the rooms. I called the reception and asked for a password. Although I got the password I never managed to log in - wifi was there but it just didn´t log me in. So we couldn´t use wifi.

Breakfast was quite good and food nice. There´s no great variety of meals for breakfast and most of them are quite not-for-breakfast type like potato salad, baked fish etc, but actually food was OK. Nothing brilliant, but average and eatable.

Reception staff doesn´t speak good English, preferred language is Russian. Parking is free of charge. Reception called us just after 11 in the morning and told that we have to leave quickly as we have exceeded our check-out time. Actually check-out was mentioned to be at 12. The girl at the recetion desk didn´t know who of the personnel called us and why.

In general, the place is very average. I wouldn´t stay there for the full price as it seems really expensive for what you get. Luckily this time was some kind on discount. Otherwise - Jurmala is nice in summer.

Room Tip: Some of the rooms in second building face next building and get little sunshine and almost no view...

“Don't stay here....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

We found this hotel terrible. Tehe taxi-driver who took us there from Riga, told it was a "bad hotel", "very expencive anf BAD service" ...and she was so right! The staff is not friendly at all, and you really get the feeling they just want your money and thats it. We tried out the SPA treatments. The massage was ok, but with a sweaty smelling treater, and long fingernails it was a bad experince. She kept massaging the bottom for 40 out of 60mins, and she didnt even cover us up.. And when she was finished she stayed in the room, just to watch us getting dressed... She asked for telephonenumber and e-mail , so she could contact us in Norway... This is NOT a professionel SPA! -and when we complained about this, we got the manager and her friends against us... And the jaccusi was full of sand... which they said was Calsium...
As for the hotel-room, there were holes in the sheets, and no AC, and it's smelly. Smelled like its been shot down for a while..

“Pegasa pils spa hotel - stay away and save your time and money!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2010

Negativ experience with the Pegasa Pils hotel, Jurmala;

We have recently experienced how a hotel can differ alot from the internet information to the real world.

It is stated in the hotel information, that the hotel has WIFI and AC. We experienced that neider was correct. The AC was not functional and the hotel managment did notthing to fix this, only tried to stall the situation!

And frankly, it should also been spesified in the hotel information that the wifi is limited to the lobby area only!

Moreover is that the hotel did not change bed linen once during the whole stay. Not good at all!

Our overall impression is that the Pegasa Pils hotel is cynically taking advantage of guests coming and going, and that the complaints of hotel guests have noe effects since new guests keep coming regardless of the poor managment from the staff!

For me and my wife the stay on Pegasa Pils hotel was a humid, sweaty and sleepless encounter. But we try to cling to the memory of Jurmala as a very nice place, and hope that if we bother coming back that other hotels are more professional and customer friendly!

For your own sake - booking with this hotel is a waste of time and money!

Ate outside on the lovely terrace. Huge choice on all kind of dishes. Overall food quality was OK - and maybe even price/quality - but for such a standingfull hotel, we had expected better.

“Don't ruin your holiday and stay away from Pegasa Pils!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2007

people found this review helpful

It's all started when paying deposit hotel requested money transfer because they don't accept credit cards. Never mind some extra costs, we arrived in sunny Jurmala!
Hotel's website proudly advertising how happy were their Russian celebrities guests here. I don't know if that would have changed anything but we are not celebrities and here is our experience of the stay in Pegasa Pils.
Room was semi-suite and at first sight not too bad, except during our 3 day stay they didn't clean it once or change the bedding!!! Towels had holes in them.Outside temperature was +30C, however Air conditioner in the room not worked and when we asked to fix it, they didn't. Fridge was in the filthy state.
Breakfast looked like previous night's leftovers. Staff unfriendly and manager S. B. simply walked out of the room when we tried to speak to her about our stay.
They also tried to charge me twice for the massage I had. By the way, that was aromatherapy with some nice smelling oils and masseur chatting on the phone while you're trying to relax!!!
Generally speaking we felt like they only wanted to get the money out of us. Not sure who gave 4 stars to this hotel, definetely would not recommend Pegasa Pils, you get better treat in the hostel. Save yourself money and time. What you see in the website is not what you get in the hotel.
