I would return to this hotel. It is marginally cheaper than the Latgola hotel in Daugavpils, a good value hotel. It is quite new and everything in the room is clean and fresh (July '11). The furniture and decoration is basic but perfectly adequate, same in the bathroom which has a good shower. The bed in the single room is wide and very comfortable with very good quality bed linen. (Good job - after all, that's the most important thing in a hotel!) Pleasant dining room/bar with (rather limited) breakfast buffet. Some issues (not major, don't let them put you off!): White thin curtains do not block out the light during the Northern European light summer nights. Very thin doors to the corridor outside: Unfortunately you hear people outside coming and going. The door is so basic that I think it might be a temporary arrangement - perhaps the hotel plans to upgrade shortly. No air conditioning unit (only a problem in the very height of the summer), no fridge (common in ex-USSR countries), or minibar. There are quite a few dogs around in the gardens at the back side, they are barking from time to time - can be irritating in the evening with the window open. The staff is mainly Russian-Latvian bilingual speakers, but you can manage fine in basic English with most staff members. I found them helpful and nice. Before anyone complains about the standard of English, bear in mind that the staff already is fully bilingual with two other languages. How many languages do you speak? I admit that I stayed in this hotel because the Latgola was full (football game in town) but I would not hesitate to stay again and I recommend it to those on a budget, or as an alternative to the Latgola.

We had planned to arrive in Daugavpils earlier than we did, and had not booked anywhere in advance. They were doing major roadworks in the city and after much driving around we were directed to Hotel Dinaburg in the petrol station nearby. In Latvian from our phrasebook we asked the lady at reception if she had a room for the night and she replied to us in English that yes she did, but there was a wedding that evening so it would be noisy. We were just so relieved to have found a hotel we checked in anyway! It had a car park which was great for us (travellling by motorbike), and the room was large and clean, and as others have said it was very basic but everything we needed for a night. The shower was hot and the breakfast was good and neither of us had any complaints for our stay here. It is not a luxury hotel but it does not have a luxury pricetag - I would be happy to stay here again and would recommend it to others too.

Stayed during the city holidays. Hotel is clean, room was very big ( got the last available, family room). In reality it was room with 2 separate big rooms. Staff is nice and polite. Due to holidays it was full - felt that hotel was not really prepared for that - in the breakfast it took time while tables got cleaned and food added, just because only one girl was working. Otherwise breakfast was OK, standard choice. Free parking. Hotel little bit far from center, 20-30 minutes walk (with a child).
