I've just come back from a week-long trip to Latvia and stayed 2 nights in this hotel, but came back a number of times during the week for dinner and to visit the Skyline bar.

The rooms are basic accomoboxes: large twin beds, no trouser-press or tea-and-coffee making facilities. However they do have a number of different room types from the basic to the seriously swanky. -But they're very clean; the carpet looks well hoovered which was reassuring. The beds were relatively comfortable.

The bathroom was an ok size - the wetroom design would be good for the elderly I would say, although they would probably have to request a shower-chair. I don't mind not having a bath as quite often they're not properly cleaned anyway. I also didn't mind the dispenser soap and shower-gel; I tend to use them mainly for cleaning glasses and cups in the room anyway (no, I don't regard wiping cups and glasses - or the bath for that matter - with the towels you've just used as being "clean", which happens in a lot of places)

The security in the hotel is good - you need your keycard to access your floor and room. At night the paronamic lifts go to the bar and gym only. The wifi is wholly complimentary and there are even powerpoints in the bar for private laptops. This is a great service.

The buffet breakfasts were excellent, even cooking eggs to order with a fantastic selection. Best buffet breakfast of anywhere I've stayed.
The buffet dinner (12.5 lats ex. drinks) is also good value - but it's better at the weekends than during the week. Still filling and nice. The food and drink in the lobby bar is reasonable for the location. The Gastronome gourmet fish restaurant onsite is also excellent and good value by Irish standards. But food seems generally good in the places I visited - CiliPica is particularly reliable.

The Skyline Bar MUST be visited - it's brilliant for people-spotting if nothing else; I was there during the week and on Friday night. It was full but not heaving - with super-comfy sofas and really nice cocktails. The public areas of the hotel are nicely, but comfortably decorated.

This is a very very big and popular hotel, we witness lots of large tour groups, but once they moved through the lobby you'd barely know. Stag party shenanigans are firmly dealt with thankfully.

The staff were nice and polite in all areas. Any attempt at speaking Latvian was appreciated, which was nice.

The upshot - I'd like to visit Riga again, and will be staying here. If I get to visit other Balkan countries I will definately be staying at their sister hotels there.

me n my friend were there before the cristmas... between 18th of dec and 24th of december. Hotel is one of the tallest building in that city. Rooms r not big enough but very confortable. We were staying at the 20th floor so wiev of our room was very nice:-) elevators of the hotel is very fast and usefull so u can reach to the top in a minute. In riga people cant speak english n other well known languages very well but hotel staff is very good at speaking those wellknown languages... Reception staffs r very helpfull n professional.. Breakfast is very rich:-)... And breakfast timming is very usefull 07:00-10:30 during the work days... 07:00-11:00 at the weekend.. By the way old city is 5min away by walking... and the most faomus clubs of the city r voodo( is in the hotle complex) and essential club( 100m away from the hotel).. u can find taxi very easily from the in front of the hotel 24 hrs... from airport to hotel cost is 8.5-10 Ls(latvia currency) 1Ls nearly equal to 1 britsh pound... Hotel has very good gym at the top of the building n also has very nice bar which is called as a sky bar

The Reval provides a nice, clean modern place to stay just a few blocks from Old Town Riga. The rooms are spacious by European standards, with comfortable beds and modern furnishings. Service in the hotel is slightly less than one would expect, but that seems to be the case for just about everything in Latvia. The bar on the top of the hotel is definately as nice as all reviewers have stated - very modern and an amazing view.

I also attended a conference event that was held at the hotel and the facilities were excellent.

I've stayed at this hotel for two nights, was on a business trip. Big, modern hotel, room is spacious, very clean, spotless, bathroom is big enough, too. The view from my room was really great, you don't get this too often. I've had some issues in the room (air conditioning, TV were not working properly), but I did not have the time to sort them out with the reception, was too busy. The breakfast
is great, you've got lots of choices. Don't miss the sky-bar and the sauna (again: with great views!). Using the taxis, be careful if you ask for taking you to a club, because they mean striptease-bars! (stag-night-capital of Eastern-Europe...) And: girls are not allowed to get into the striptease-bar (probably not only striptease-bars...) overall; a good hotel, and a great city with wonderful architecture, and with very pretty girls.
