I stayed twice in one week to run the Riga Marathon. First stay was to try it out and the second one was two days into the race. In the first stay, I got a noisy room which pounding against my walls early in the morning and occasionally throughout the day. I was promised a quite room in my next stay. The room was much better but i think the walks are not sound proof. I could hear snoring from the next room! Overall, the hotel is very nice and the service is great. Breakfast was very good but not the best in the area. A funny situation on checkout when they wanted to charge me for the coffee capsules that were in the free area. The staff were very helpful and make up for all of the deficiencies i saw. I did not like the smoking smell in the lobby from the bar section. The hotel is in the old town and was a 5min walking distance from the marathon start and finish lines. I could not get a taxi to leave right after the race, so don't stay there if you are not spending the night after the race. Counting everything, while no the best in class in the nearby area, i think this is a nice hotel that truly represent the spirit of an old town with the added luxury.

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

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.
