Reviews and Ratings
The hotel boasts high ceilings and big windows, providing a luxurious feel, yet the rooms lack spaciousness. Despite offering adequate storage space and amenities like a refrigerator, bath amenities, towels, TV-set, Music Center, and bathrobes, the absence of a window may be a downside for a longer stay. Some updates could be needed in the future.
The hotel offers a mix of positives like having an Apple player in the rooms for music lovers, but also some drawbacks such as the need for new mattresses and noise from the street until late at night.
The hotel is located right in the center of the old city, making it convenient for exploring the area on foot. The rooms were a bit lacking due to the absence of air conditioning and noise issues at night. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff being lovely while others not so helpful. The dining experience offered a mix of positive and negative aspects, with repetitive options but a standout breakfast. Visually, the location was a key highlight but also the sole redeeming feature.
I stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and spacious, felt a bit cramped with luggage, especially being on the ground floor near the entrance and street noise. The breakfast was enjoyable but could be more varied.
The hotel is very centrally located, making it convenient to explore Riga. However, the rooms were a bit cramped and lacked natural light. The noise from the street could also be bothersome, but the restaurant terrace offered a peaceful escape.
The hotel offers a mix of old-fashioned charm in the rooms, along with modern bathrooms and a clean, value-for-money experience. The dining experience could use some improvement with limited options, but the friendly service and superb location make it a great choice for exploring the old town.
