Very nice 4 nights stay in Riga. The hotel is conveniently located next to the train station and a mall with a Rimi supermarket. The old town is less that 10 minutes away on foot. The bus (number 22) to and from the airport is also less than 10 minutes away.
The room was very nice, comfy and clean as was the bathroom. Thank you for having large bottles of soap, shampoo and conditionner instead of those mini bottles which generate so much plastic waste. No recycling bin in the room but one just at the entrance of the hotel. There is a stocked mini bar that is not really necessary. We took out a few bottles to stock our own drinks and yogurts in. The TV selection could be considered poor for English speakers only. Eurosport was included (in English) and allowed us to watch the snooker world championship. ;)
As for the service. It depends. Front desk was okay when you talked to them but they never acknowledged you as you went by. The breakfast staff (breakfast was great by the way) clearly needs to be trained. The supervisor unfortunately did not lead by example. A smile is always free and appreciated...
Loved it. great staff.
Everyone's smile in the morning made every day of my stay the beginning of a bright experience in Riga.
I will definitely come back!
