My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent for exploring the old town but the room had some issues like a low, slanted ceiling that left me with a bruise. The service was friendly and helpful but the noise from the street and next door was a drawback. The dining options were decent but lacked variety. Overall, a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. The room, though clean and equipped with everything needed, had minimal space and felt a bit cold due to the bed placement. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the booking of the room, which was frustrating. On the positive side, the service was incredible, especially thanks to the lovely Evelina who went above and beyond to assist us. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to all of Riga. However, there were some hiccups during check-in and regarding the private parking situation. The dining options were acceptable but could use some improvement in terms of food availability. Overall, a stay with ups and downs but with great service and location.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a total disaster, cold, dusty, and even the bathroom was not up to standard. However, the location was superb, right in the heart of the old town, just steps away from key attractions. The service was good overall, with a few instances of limited English and occasional rudeness. The dining experience was satisfying, with plenty of tasty options to choose from.

The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the bus and train terminals, making it easy to access. However, the side street it is situated on is not the most appealing. The service was polite and helpful, despite some issues with room preferences not being communicated. The dining options were satisfactory, offering a decent variety of healthy choices. The location is excellent for exploring the city, being close to Dome Square and the House of the Blackheads.

Upon arrival, the room looked quite nice, but not as spacious as depicted in the pictures. The room was on the smaller side, which made it feel a bit cramped and lacking ventilation, especially with stairs inside. The service was impeccable, with a professional touch and even securing excellent seats for a ballet performance. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the Old Town with easy access to bars and restaurants. The breakfast was okay, but not as diverse as expected, and needed some exploration to find all options. The overall value for money was pretty good, considering the central location and some included amenities.
