Where do I begin. "Recently refurbished" features everywhere that you view this hotel. IF 'recently' applies to before the iron curtain fell then yes totally accurate. In the UK any hotle making such a claim could be sued under the trade descriptions act. The wooden floors are dated, not quaint, the bathroom - well as a man I didnt want... more

It was the ugliest and oldest hotel in which I lived.everything is very old inside, the bathroom sanitary and furniture is very old and unclean. Hotel staff was rude attitude, both from the receiver and those in the restaurant. all the time while I stayed in this hotel I think that communism is in the air. more

Bad value for money. This in definately NOT a 4 star hotel !!! more

If you like to remember some Soviet times in Riga, go to Hotel Riga (Aspazijas bulvaris 22).

I was shown to my room on the top floor and was really surprised. The room had been completely renovated, with new bathroom fittings. The water pressure was excellent and... more

1. Hotel lobby and lifts smelled of vomit the whole time I stayed there (3 nights) 2. When emptying the bath the water started coming up the overflow pipe. 3. All my belongings on the bathroom floor got soaked with smelly rusty sewerage water. 4. The reception staff blamed ME for not reporting the incident as soon as it happened... more

It is the best location in town.My room on 4th floor had fantastic view of parks and Opera. Great hot breakfast too , though the room can get busy. Nice big olde... more
