Treated well from the moment you step through the door, and if you get a transfer with the hotel, from the moment you get through arrivals. It is without a doubt the only place I would stay in Riga, perfect location for everything in the old town

Lovely hotel with great breakfast

A nice hotel that had really large rooms and great bed. Our room backed onto a road that had construction work happening, which started at 7.20am. The room was exceptionally hot as the AC is seasonal. A brilliant breakfast and fantastic staff who did everything to make the stay amazing.n

My husband and I travel often and stay at luxury properties. This is hands down the best hotel we have had the pleasure to experience. It’s spotless and the service is impeccable. The breakfast is amazing, with a selection of fresh and delectable items. The cigar bar became our favorite because of the friendly staff and outstanding cocktails.

Great hotel in a very good location for visiting Old Town Riga. The staff are truly amazing (shout out to both the morning and evening booking agents - they were so helpful with so many things). The breakfast is very good and the gym and sauna nice. Definitely a place to return to if we visit Riga again.

Lovely traditional hotel in centre of the old city. Room was really nice and large (business room), though bathroom could do with a bit of updating. Breakfast room was wonderful, food really nice and cute parrot! Staff member at check in was super helpful and friendly and so were the breakfast staff and housekeeper. Would stay again when next in Riba. Top quality hotel in the Riga old town.
