We had a fantastic stay in Grand Poet Hotel. We booked the Deluxe room and we were given room 419, which had a fantastic view over the park and Riga old town. There was plenty of room for 3 people including our son. Room was tastefully decorated and super clean. We utilized the valet parking which was really convenient. Charge was 30 Euros per night. Hotel was walking distance from everything, including all the nice restaurants in the old town. SPA was nice, but a bit overcrowded at all times. Highly recommended.

Luxurious and very elegant hotel. £30 million spent on it recently. Even standard rooms were lovely and swanky. Staff were so so nice. Walk to old town just across the park. Or trams to zoo and river. All very close by. Breakfast was amazing with so much choice. Well worth it.

Great hotel in Riga

Nicely located away from the noise but 10 min walk away from the old town. Love the spa and the jr suite was an excellent size and super quiet. Staff were very helpful but, like most in Riga, not super warm. Only downside is there are not any restaurants super close if you want to eat outside the hotel. The food at the restaurant was really good though. If we came back, we’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent location, close to everything. Very nice, interesting decor. Breakfast is great and plentiful. The room was extremely hot when we arrived, 78F. The ac did nothing to cool it down, and we had to sleep with the windows open. The area is very busy so we did not have a restful sleep. TV kept turning off and had to be reset continuously.
