The hotel is quite outdated, with a design from the early 2000s. It feels uncomfortable, requires significant renovations, and looks like a maximum of 3 stars. The price is absolutely not in line with the hotel's standard.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024

The place needs some proper TLC, TV is so out dated and many channels impossible to watch due to bad picture quality. Although breakfast runs until 11am, after 10am they were out of quite a few things that were not topped up. It used to be one of my favourite hotels, and it’s sad to see its quality dipping.

Trying to find this hotel at night was impossible there is no clear signage so ended up driving past three times. The reception staff were rude and didn’t feel welcomed at all. The breakfast was ok and to be fair the staff members at breakfast and check out were pleasant. Also hate when you don’t have a iron in the room!

Fantastic new and well-kept hotel! Location next to a busy ready, but keeping the windows closed blocks all road noise. Just beware that the black-out curtains are not so black-out, which might cause issues during the early morning sun for people with light sleep. Possibility of free parking on the streets next to the hotel (upon availability).

Positive: Very comfortable hotel. The food was excellent, so we loved the room service. Staff was great. The hotel room was nice. The decoration of the hotel was beautiful. Negative: The breakfast in the busy time was the most chaotic breakfast experience I have ever had, because there were no clear signs where the line starts, people were rushing and there were no enough tables. The shower in our room was not in the best condition.

Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022

6/10

The hotel is located out of the city center but close to bus stops which make it easy to reach both citycenter and the Riga airport. Its breakfast was not the most fancy and it was just OK. Based on our stay experience at other 4-stars hotels, for a 4-stars hotel, a better breakfast with more variety was expected. Receptionists were not friendly while personals in the restaurant as well as cleaning staff were nice and friendly. Hotel has two wings and they are located almost like V-shape model. This cause rooms has a close view to each other and if your privacy matter, you should use black-out curtains, even during the day.
