Positive: The location of the hotel is very good, very close to the old town center. The interiors and its design are perfectly great, especially the hotel bar is very stylish. The rooms are nice and the breakfast buffet is great Negative: THE NOISE!!!! The first and hopefully hotel experience, when I did not sleep at all!!! Downstairs in the... More

We had three nights at this very central located old Hotel, previously private owned by Benjamins family for centuries. Excellent service and very well kitchen, "home taste"! Location just a few minutes walk from "Old Town" and the central station, as well the large well known Riga market. Our room at 2nd floor was very light coloured, good beds and... More

City trip to Riga, arrived at hotel, amazed by its grandeur. Very nice staff. The room was not huge but more than sufficient, with comfortable beds. From the hotel the old and beautiful city centre is a couple of minutes walking. Also the art-nouveau area, as well as the old Russian area of Riga is within walking distance.

We stayed here for 2 nights during a weekend. As we have read complaints about the loud night club in the hotel, we asked to be accommodated higher up, away from the noise. In the end we received a room only on the second floor in the new wing but it was very quiet. Judging by the pictures posted by... More

This converted period mansion is in an excellent location, and certainly has its charms. In the public areas on the first floor, where breakfast is served, there is a very pleasant bar and restaurant, and these are very nice, with shades of old world charm in the stucco and cornicework, some spectacular chandeliers and a very reasonably priced menu. The... More

Girlie trip to Riga 2013 very welcoming fabulous hotel. The staff very good food excellent. But there is a karaoke bar which can be noisy at the weekends if u r in the wrong room. Avoid room 210 and 209 Friday to Sunday. Highly recommend this hotel.

We were upgraded when we arrived and had a lovely room with high ceilings, elegant furnishings, a nice view and even a terrace. Unfortunately, as mentioned below, we were also directly above the casino/disco and it was extremely loud all night long. I imagine it would be better in a room higher up (we were on the first floor). The... More

My room was up on the top floor on this visit to the hotel, with lots of tiny windows (it felt a little like being in a castle!). Great breakfast, especially the smoked salmon - it seemed to me there was more choice this time than the last time I visited and some of the rooms appeared to have been... More

Beautiful old-world hotel. Our room was quite spacious with massively high ceilings but both beds were in very poor condition. Our room location directly above the casino/disco (in spite of having submitted an advanced request for a quiet room) could have been worse, had it not been for the outdated heating system that made enough noise to almost drown out...
