stayed there for 2 nights with 11 guys. it seemed a pleasent enough place for the price. until when checking out the hotel the receptionist and security guard who appearedby magic [none speaking english,whilst the same receptionist did the day before] charged us 200 lats before we could leave. the security guard took the mini bus drivers keys and frettened... more

Very dated room, with a very large window which you could fully open, and we were on the 7th floor! Tiny little restaraunt/bar on the upper floor with no character at all. We were on a lads trip so it didn't matter so much, but wouldn't recommend for romance. The building itself was proper ugly and the view we had... more

We stayed for 2 nights in mid-September 2007 & found the staff to be really friendly. The room was a bit dated but for the amount it cost we were pleased with the size and cleanliness - couldn't fault it for a place to lay your head for the night! The breakfast was well-replenished and lots of good fresh coffee... more

Stayed here end of May 07 for 4 nights. Having read some other reviews did not know what to expect with it being my first time to eastern Europe. The Hotel was positioned about 30 mins walk from the Old Town (main area for sightseeing and drinking). Not a great looking building and some of the local area did not... more

OK so it's a long way from the centre (2 or 3km) but the tram stops five minutes up the road and run very frequently until quite late. OK so it's a Stalinist monstrosity, but at least it's got a bit of character to it unlike many bland chain hotels today! OK there's a railway yard with 24-hour shunting; this,... more

Cheep and cheerful for a stag do, or it would be if the staff smiled. Having said that most people don’t smile very often at all in Latvia after years of communist oppression smiling as was any sign of enjoyment was a bad thing and that’s just the way it is. If a pretty young woman smiles at you she’s... more

We stayed at this hotel in October 2006 - our first time in Riga. Plus points - Our room was huge! Bed was v comfortable Buffet breakfast was fine Lots of storage space for clothes, etc Bar staff were lovely, reception staff are OK Our room was cleaned nicely every day, with fresh towels 5 mins from tram stop, about... more

Very much agree with previous comments except we found the staff very helpful and made friends with them.Sometimes it helps not to be arrogant and patronising and dont expect local people to automaically speak English.The bedding and towels were clean and the food was wholesome although basic. This is not the Ritz and do not forget latvia is still emeging... more
