I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location was great, allowing easy access to various attractions, although there was some noise from a nearby pub at times. The rooms, although small, were adequate for a short stay, and the service was impeccable. The dining options were modest, but the Italian restaurant in the hotel was a highlight.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal, nestled in the heart of the historical area and easily accessible to various attractions, but the room was uncomfortably hot at times, even with a fan provided by the staff. The service was hit or miss, with some staff members going above and beyond while others fell short. Dining options varied from delightful experiences to disappointing ones, and the overall value for money was reasonable considering the amenities offered.

The room, though small for two people, was unbearably hot, especially at night. Despite the fan provided by the staff, it got stuffy, affecting the overall comfort.

I found the hotel to be perfect for my needs with a reasonable price, despite the small room size and lack of air conditioning or fans. The room was very comfy, nice, and equipped with everything necessary.

Rooms

The room was perfect for what I needed and the price was reasonable, although it was so small that there was no space to open the suitcase. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning or even a small fan to help with air circulation.

The location was excellent, right into the Old City with main attractions and restaurants just outside the door, making it perfect for a walking sightseeing tour of old Riga town.
Dining
5.0
The dining options were a bit meager and tailored more towards Anglo-Saxon tastes, with limited selections of cheese, meat, and no fresh fruit. However, the Latvian-fish dish was very authentic.
Facilities
The facilities met my basic needs, but there was room for improvement in terms of dining variety.
