The staff in the Irina dislike English speaking, they are the rudest staff I have ever encountered in all my travels. They shut the bar on you, one Sat at 8.30 . They wont answer any questions if asked in English, they just stare into your face. The hotel itself is not to clean. It is located in a very... more

I woke up in the middle of the night. Some wanted to enter my room. They screemed and were knocking on my door. This continued for at least half an hour. In the morning breakfast time I opened the door and someone had threwed up outside my door. I jumped over the mess and talked to the the girl in... more

Where do I start?? We booked this hotel for 1 week. On arriving at the hotel the sour faced receptionist had a problem with our booking which took ages to sort out. She had not got the rooms we booked available. After an hour it was sorted and we got our rooms. A double room in the hotel consists of... more

Hotel Irina is a simple, functional budget hotel. They offer basic amenities for a reasonable price. The breakfast that is included with the room is superb. The location is very good, being right down town across from origo and the train station. The city center is only about 2 blocks away. If you are looking for a hotel with alot... more

Hotel was clean and tidy, our group complained of the audible crossing outside that was relentless beeping making it impossible for a good nights sleep. The main thing about Latvia is they never smile and everything is too much trouble. One girl on reception had worked 34 hours! So are you surprised. The service was an embarrassment to hospitality. I... more

I think that some of the criticisms about this hotel are unfair.My room was fine,breakfast ok. and when I requested an extra pillow, it appeared in my room soon after.My room was cleaned each day with new towels. I think that some people expect everything and this hotel is reasonably priced. more

Hotel situation was excellent for the sights of the City. Rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable. Thankfuly the temperature during our stay was a bit cool so we didn't have to open our window as the noise from the streets outside were very well insulated by the double glazing. The breakfast was a bit too russian for our liking. The... more

I had a one night stopover in Riga and needed somewhere cheap and central. In these respects the Hotel Irina was perfect. It's situated right beside the train station and also close to where the airport bus (number 22, public bus) drops off at the Stockmann Centre/Forum Cinema. I was travelling alone and wasn't looking for anything special, just to... more

I truly wish I could find a single nice thing to say about this hotel (then going by the name Saulite, I can see why they might change it) I guess there was the location which made it convenient for getting out! They raised the price of my room after I stayed there and did not clean the room, which... more

1. The location was good. Essentially across the street from the train station, and a couple of blocks from the bus station. It was in the “newer” part of town, yet just a few blocks from the old town. The train station had a lot of stores and restaurants, and across the street from the train station, towards the bus... more
