Very friendly staff, excellent facilities, superb selection for breakfast and spacious rooms. Loved the soa which we used every day. The only issue was the noise from the courtyard( which our room backed onto). A lot of banging and crashing in the early hours woke us up most nights.

The room and hotel were lovely. The geometric carpet throughout the residential floors was stunning. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom design was incredible. The staff were helpful and attentive. The on-site restaurant was also great (although the menu was a little limited) - the food and service was excllent. I would however like to point out that room service is not 24 hour (as it says in the Expedia listing) - the kitchen shuts at 22h00. We arrived at 11pm which meant we had to order using a delivery app, which was a little disappointing.

Two nights in Riga.

The hotel was immaculately maintained and had a lovely ambience. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was extensive and enjoyable. And most importantly, we enjoyed an excellent night's sleep for each of our two nights stay. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic stay

The hotel is fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The spa is excellent and on an evening 7-10pm only over 16s are allowed in which made it more relaxing. The breakfast had a huge selection and very tasty. Would love to stay again.

We were really looking forward to our stay as it was my husband’s first time visiting Riga. I had seen the hotel on a previous visit & loved the location beside the park. Unfortunately - we were allocated a small, dark room at the back of the hotel that was looking directly onto the walls & windows of other rooms. If you choose this hotel, pay the extra for a room with a view. Disappointing as we were staying for 3 nights. Because of this I would not return.
