“Good value but a bit hidden away”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2010

We struggled to find the place - we knew it was next to Lido restaurant but our mistake was getting off the tram a couple of stops early, close to the BIG Lido restaurant. After finding it, it was a great place for our city break base.

Rooms fairly spartan, comfy beds, great modern bathrooms. Clean and modern building.

Breakfast a basic continental, served in nice old vaulted cellar room. Each guest served a small plate of sausage & salad, then help yourself to bread to make toast, cheese and meats for sandwiches. The chef has a bit of a cucumber obsession, even by Eastern European standards!

Spa suite was good but odd - nice sauna, the small circular pool was fitted with an adjustable jet so you could swim (endless) lengths, but you needed to prebook your time slot with hotel reception the day before.

Next door is the bowling alley owned by the same company - which was fine for a couple of drinks at the end of the evening when we didn't want too much of a trek home (or to risk missing the last tram). A lot cheaper drinking here than in the city centre and had friendly staff confused to find non-locals in there!

We'd also recommend the Lido restaurant chain, one of which is nearby this hotel although the one we ate in is the Lido Entertainment Centre super-duper one. So good we went back twice. Try the 1 Lat champagne.

Toss was great for the price, a 15min ride on the tram into the city centre.

“Poor location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2008

The Toss Hotel is not convenient to town, and the hotel lacks any form of atmosphere. I did discover the trams so that made journeys into riga much more affordable, a taxi from the Bus Station cost about £19 and taxis from Riga about £15. So use the trams, they are easy, frequent and affordable.

The hotel lists a range of services, like a spa, sauna etc but they were not available when I choose the use and was asked to give an hours notice. Not really the idea!

  • Liked — it was value for money

“Plenty to do at the TOSS”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2007
3
people found this review helpful

The name of this place might seem rather strange, but don't let that put you off!

I stayed here for four nights at the end of August. The building itself is a former flax mill (I think), and the conversion has been impressively done. I found the rooms clean, the bathroom large and the ceilings high. Everything is impressively modern.

The staff at the hotel were helpful, but some of them spoke more English than others. Having said that, all of them spoke better English than I speak Latvian.

The hotel has a ten-pin bowling alley attached. This proved very handy, as there was heavy rain on one of the days I was in Riga. Again, this facility was impressively modern.

The hotel is about 5 mins walk to a tram stop, and the tram takes about 15 minutes to get to the centre of town. It is cheap at a flat rate fare of 0.30 Lats (about 30p).

The tram line does go through the run-down Moscow district, much of which seems to be falling down. That in itself is quite interesting, though not highlighted in most guidebooks.

  • Liked — Rooms - very modern, high ceilings. Breakfast was great!
  • Disliked — Could have been nearer Old Riga.

“Bit out of the way!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2007
3
people found this review helpful

The hotel was clean and comfortable, however, there was no air conditioning so it was difficult to sleep at night. Also, the beds were were short and narrow. There was also only a net curtain and a thin, almost transparent, pale green curtain hanging which meant that at 3.30am the room got as light as the day outside and it was difficult to sleep.
Breakfast was OK, although not a great choice - cold omelette and sausage for the 3 mornings we ate there! However, there was also plenty tea, coffee, juice, bread/toast, cheese, cold meat and yoghurts.
The staff spoke great English and were helpful. The area the hotel was in wasn't great but better than some of the areas you travelled through on the tram to get into the city centre. The 30p trip into the town was a bargain! We enjoyed the bowling and snooker across the courtyard.

  • Liked — It was very clean
  • Disliked — Location and lack of darkness!!! What hotel doesn't have proper curtains?!
