Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a fantastic view from our terrace, but the room was small and felt old, needing redecoration. Although it was cold, and room service was limited, the staff was very helpful. The location was excellent, near the old town and key sights, but it couldn't make up for the overall disappointing stay. The dining experience was minimal, with long waiting times, and the facilities were subpar.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were quiet and acceptable. The service was a bit of a hit or miss with welcoming but non-English speaking staff. The location was convenient for accessing bars and restaurants but felt a bit aged. The dining options were basic but satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
The hotel had tiny windows in the sailing rooms, with basic amenities in the bathroom. However, the location was fantastic and very close to the city center. The dining experience was diverse and tasty, but the walls were thin and the noise from next door was easily heard.
The hotel had rooms without heating despite the freezing temperature outside and they were quite cramped, with limited space for a single bed, a chair, and a table. The room was uncomfortably hot even with the windows open, and there was no facility to prepare tea or coffee. The service, although somewhat overcharging, was generally helpful and friendly, especially at reception and during breakfast. The location was perfect for exploring, just minutes away from bars, cafes, and restaurants, and felt safe to walk around at night. However, there were some minor inconveniences like the need for security personnel when coming in or going out, and the bar closing early every night. The dining experience was mediocre, with cold food served in supposedly heated vessels and limited breakfast options. The facilities were average, following the current trends in similar places.
The hotel was overlooking a courtyard and in need of urgent repair, not worth the money despite being clean enough. The service, though friendly, had some issues due to the old building. The location was great for exploring Riga, offering a variety of nearby attractions, but the dining experience left much to be desired with long waiting times and limited options. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.
The hotel room was quite small and a little bit shabby, but the service was very nice and caring. The location is amazing despite the nearby construction site. The dining experience was really nice, and the facilities were good overall.
The hotel has a convenient location, close to the airport bus stop and Riga's old town. The rooms are not very clean and feel outdated, with narrow corridors. The service was prompt but lacked clarity on additional costs. The dining experience was below average. The credit card machine malfunctioned during check-out, causing inconvenience.
The hotel is ideally located in the old town, just steps away from the river, making it a great spot to explore the main sights and enjoy the summer months. The rooms are adequate for a short stay, though some wear and tear on the wallpapers can be noticed. The dining experience was decent but could improve in terms of variety and temperature of dishes. The service, unfortunately, showed gaps in attention to detail, particularly after midnight. However, the proximity to key attractions and transport options enhances the value for money of the stay.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room, although spacious and featuring romantic furniture, had velux windows high up in the eaves, which made me wonder about fire escape options. The lack of room servicing for a couple of days was a downside, giving a bed and breakfast feel rather than a hotel vibe.
I stayed at this hotel located in the heart of the historic Old Town in Riga. The rooms were spacious but could have been a bit warmer, featuring surprising extras like a jacuzzi and sauna. The location was very central with clean rooms, yet the bar closed early every night. The dining experience offered a good variety but was somewhat disappointing for such a nice hotel.
