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 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.

The facilities met my basic needs, but there was room for improvement in terms of dining variety.
