Liked it a lot actually!

This hotel has had up-s and down-s...now it is "up" for sure! Great breakfast is back again! Lots of free parking space, but all spots were full actually in the end of the day. Polite service, quiet area , if your window is not towards the street.

Reasonable Budget Hotel.

Budget Hotel with no 'frills'. Clean and presentable, but there is no Tea/coffee facility in the rooms. A trip to reception and get a Coffee is required. Not a problem for most but I expected the rooms to have this facility. The rooms are simple, clean but could do with some minor updating to the bathrooms. Generally a good stay over Hotel that is slightly out of the main Riga area centre.

Bed bugs!

Horrible hotel. In the images the rooms look clean, but in reality they were infested with bed bugs and were dirty. The reception was not helpful, because the management refused to do anything with the situation. After contacting Expedia, a new room was offered, which also had bed bugs. If you still want to book a room, make it refundable because none will take responsibility on the bed bug issue.

It was very difficult to find the drive way by car to the hotel. We had two rooms with breakfast booked, plam was sleep good, have breakfast and at leave. When arriving to the hotel in the evening the receptionist told us that breakfast starts at 8am and because we didn't book early breakfast (breakfast bag) before it was not possible to get anything. Breakfast time was not mentioned while making a booking, also nothing about need of an early booking for breakfast bag. Rooms very not quiet, we were able to hear everything from our neighbour room, shower holder was broken. Rooms were old but clean.

Vi fik ingen rengøring/håndklædeskift på 3 overnatninger. Værelset meget slidt. Kraftig friskluft-spray stank på gangen. Utrolig dårlig, skrabet morgenmadsbuffet. Hele hotellet slidt og gammelt. Hvordan kan det hotel være 3-stjernet ?

"Gnälligt" när man önskar tidig frukost. Alltså ska man vara på ett event klockan 8, ca 1 km från hotellet och frukosten börjar klockan 8 på helger och man får svaret att ett gäng bokat klockan 7:30 och att jag kan "försöka" äta frukost då!! Inte vidare servicevänligt! Nu hann vi ändå för att frukostpersonalen var klara vid halv 8, men receptionen visste inget, varken på lördagen eller söndagen! Dåligt.
