My room was spotlessly clean. It had nice furnishing and was perfectly adequate size for a single room. The bed was even a bit bigger than expected. There was an ironing board, a hair dryer and plenty of Riga guide material to read. I think the minibar was also reasonably priced. But...there were some problems. The room was incredibly cold. The heating was on, but it didn’t help, because the air-conditioning was icy and I couldn’t switch it off in my room. And shower pressure was practically non-existent, which made it very difficult to wash long hair.
Breakfast was good and filling. There was everything from bacon and eggs to porridge and cereals and fresh fruits. The croissants, baked in the premises, were delicious. Service was friendly, some of the reception staff nicer than others, but overall it was good. The business centre on the 6th floor was really small and internet connection wasn’t always working properly. But it was nice, however, to be able to check e-mails since I didn’t have a laptop.
When booking, I contacted the hotel directly and got a good rate for my 5 night stay. I would stay here again, but then again, I think it would not be my first choice for a return visit.
