Comfortable relaxed environment. Breakfast can get a little busy early doors but if you have time to sleep in then its more than comfortable. Locally good shopping at the shopping center, great foodhall, various shopping opportunities. Locally some good bars within walking distance or a simple Bolt taxi into Riga itself can be promising.

Excellent option not too far from the airport.

Excellent option not too far from the airport and on the right side of town to avoid traffic in the morning. The area however doesn’t have too much to offer and it's a bit of a way from the centre. I experienced the bed as too hard but it might just have been me. The restaurant was excellent as was the bar, useful given few other options in the immediate vicinity. There’s a spa with massage but you need to book ahead so I didn’t experience it. Big room, comfortable and quiet.

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.

The hotel is quite outdated, with a design from the early 2000s.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.
