The hotel has clean and comfortable rooms but could use a fridge. The courtyard view was a bit depressing due to minimal natural light. The staff was not extremely courteous but not rude either. The location was great for sightseeing but not too close to the city center. The dining had a nice variety but needed more cheese options.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable; however, it could benefit from having a fridge. The courtyard-facing vasistas window made it somewhat depressing due to the lack of light.

The hotel offered spacious rooms with all necessary amenities but was noisy despite being on the 3rd floor, especially with kids. The small courtyard at the back was not the most comfortable for families. The service was exceptional, with a very friendly and kind staff offering high-level service. The location was great for exploring the center of Riga, although walking from the central station with suitcases was unpleasant and the neighborhood seemed run-down. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good selection of food. The hotel lacked additional facilities beyond a polite and helpful reception.

The hotel has a surprisingly big bathroom, good wardrobe size, and offers great value for breakfast. The location is convenient for walking to the city centre, shops, and historical sites, with a decent restaurant nearby. However, the service was mixed with unhelpful and drunk personnel, and some noise disturbances. The dining experience, although able to fill one's stomach, lacked freshness and variety.

The hotel's rooms were overall clean and comfortable, with the convenience of AC during hot days. However, there were some noise disturbances from traffic and neighboring rooms, and an overpowering smell in the air. The service was a mix of being efficient and friendly while sometimes being too preoccupied with personal phones. The location was great for exploring the center of Riga but had some musty and smelly areas. The dining experience was average with limited choices.

The hotel was a good size and the breakfast was great value. The rooms were clean, well looked after, and provided with Air Conditioning, making the stay comfortable in summer. However, it was probably worse than any hostel ever experienced. It was also quiet and clean, offering a peaceful environment.

The staff was endlessly apologizing for the inconvenience, which was much appreciated. However, on a Friday evening, one staff member was drunk and sleeping which disrupted the service. They were always busy on their cell phones and had no time for questions from the guests.

The location was very good for walking through the main sightseeing areas of the city, particularly the Old Town. It was also okay, nearby some interesting local bars, cafes, and pubs to hang around. However, it is not very close to the city centre, requiring around 20 minutes of walking.
Dining

The dining experience was not bad by the country's standards, although it was bad by a few measurements. Organic jams were available. However, you did have to ask for various bits to be topped up, which could be improved.

The facilities were satisfactory, offering what was needed for a comfortable stay. However, improvements could be made to enhance the overall experience.
