The hotel has a good restaurant and comfortable rooms, as well as friendly staff and reasonable prices. The location is a bit out of the center, but a quick tram ride is all you need to reach the main part of town. They also took helpfully accpept payment in euros as well as lats.

We stayed two nights and I was a little uneasy, because of reviews, I was reading here. However, if you don't have a problem with old Eastern Block charme you can have an ok stay here. The brekfast was a lot better than most describe it here: fresh veggies, everything replaced until the end friendly service and worth the money, which was the cheapest package trip available. About 15 mins. walk and you reach Old Town Riga, some windows have good views.

stayed there for 2 nights with 11 guys. it seemed a pleasent enough place for the price. until when checking out the hotel the receptionist and security guard who appearedby magic [none speaking english,whilst the same receptionist did the day before] charged us 200 lats before we could leave. the security guard took the mini bus drivers keys and frettened us with police if we did not pay. as our flight was 1andhalf hours from then we payed. would not touch the place again and warn others trippers of the possible surprise when checking out.

Very dated room, with a very large window which you could fully open, and we were on the 7th floor! Tiny little restaraunt/bar on the upper floor with no character at all. We were on a lads trip so it didn't matter so much, but wouldn't recommend for romance. The building itself was proper ugly and the view we had from the room was of the docks and the railway. I was gutted when we went to meet our mates who were staying in the Europa City for a couple of quid more a night. The funniest thing about the stay was when a rickshaw man peddled us back from the centre (it's miles away), he only lasted a quarter of distance before we had to peddle ourselves with him knackered in the back!
