3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 28, 2011
Have been stayed in this hotel in past maybe 20 times, but not during last 2 years. Now I decided to stay again and available was only economy class room., with price 89 EUR + 12 EUR breakfast. Cheap price during summer season, but room was also equal to the low price. Bed was and sleep was OK, but bathroom quality is below todays standards. Funny 1m2 bathtube from soviet times, when it was Inturist Hotel. Reception, bar and restaurant service level was very good and food at restaurant also delicious!
Date of stay: July 2011
Room Tip: Business class rooms are much better quality!

Very dated rooms. Old small crt tv, poor selection of english speaking channels, noisy ac, not very cold minibar. Room with "garden view" means looking at ugly brick houses and listening to construction work. Long walk over bridge to old town with lots no traffic. Casino inhouse seemed to be closed, staff did not know however. No safe in room. Staff tried to sell breakfast although i already had paid for it.

+ ok standard breakfast selection. Clean rooms. Inhouse spa and small pool. Atm in reception.

Conclusion: not a five star by western european standards, but decent enough for price.

The Radisson BLU Daugava in Riga is one of these large hotels which does not give you a very intimate feeling. The rooms I had, were both good, even though the bathrooms are beginning to look oldfashioned.

The location is beautiful with stunning views of the old Hanseatic city centre, located directly across the river Daugava.

If I had a choice, I would, however, have chosen one of the smaller hotels in the heart of the city!

Room tip: Try to get one of the rooms facing the river - stunning views!

This is a decent hotel, my room was relatively clean, its close to the city, good food, staff friendly. However, I would not recommend it for business, since: 1) Internet is free but so slow its often close to unusable, surely not good enough for working efficiently 2) They rent out the atrium to which most hotel rooms have a door for party's - one night is was very loud at least until half past one in the morning (so bring ear plugs) 3) No in-room safe (at least in my room)

I stayed in the Radisson Blu Daugava in the beautiful city of Riga in June.

Location: The hotel sits on the River Daugava, on the other side from Old Town. This means it is a 10 minute walk into Old Town, which I didn't mind. However, if you are keen to be central, you should choose a hotel in Old Town, which would presumably cost more. Riga's Old Town is pedestrianised and therefore suits walking.

Check in: A lengthy process, seemed to take a very long time.

Lobby: Felt dated, not a particularly inspiring area to be. There is one computer which has a printer attached, to be used for printing boarding passes and the like. Unfortunately, when I was staying, the same man was on there for over 2 hours, treating it like his own PC. Maybe a sensible time limit could be imposed, as several people were waiting.

Restaurant: Good for breakfast, wide selection of hot and cold food, drinks and pastries. Nice views if you get down early enough.

Room service: Delivered within 30 minutes, always good food and with good service.

Observation deck: Offers stunning views of the Old Town and river from the 9th floor. Well worth a visit, this is the hotel's best unique selling point.

Gym: Good size, plenty of equipment, by hotel standards pretty good.

Swimming pool: Think postage stamp. Absolutely tiny. If you push off from one end, you may get one stroke before getting to the other end. Not big enough for 2 as I found out.

Room: Comfortable, nice big room, good bed, good shower and bathroom.

Overall, a reasonable stay in a lovely city. However, while nothing went particularly wrong at this hotel, it's fair to say that other hotels may have provided a better experience.

My colleagues and I stayed at Radisson Blu Hotel for two and half weeks while on a business trip. The hotel is located right on the beautiful Daugava River and is a short walk (20 minutes) from old town Riga. If you have health issues there are a ton of taxis lined up right in front of the hotel entrance. The hotel also has a shuttle van that will transport you free of charge during certain times of the day to old town as well. The hotel rooms are a bit dated and could stand an upgrade. I was booked in to a superior room which included two twin beds pushed together to form a queen size bed, a club chair, a desk and two more basic chairs. The air conditioning was a God send after working outside in the heat. We had FREE Wi Fi included throughout our trip and it only bogged down a few nights with the tourist buses in town. Two other colleagues received two corner rooms and another received a business suite. The corner rooms are nice as there are more windows but it does get HOT in the heat of the day. The business suites are gigantic and have a couch along with a club chair. The breakfast is fantastic and is not to be missed. They stock anything and everything you could ask for and then some. My colleagues ordered omlettes day after day and claimed they were wonderful. The service provided by the hotel staff was excellent! I would highly recommend this hotel to friends.

Room tip: Ask for a room on the river side of the hotel.
