There is nothing wrong with this hotel, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it either. The room was big, with a wardrobe, fridge etc. One of the twin beds was incredibly squeaky and I get the impression that a hoover was only used on the exposed bit of carpet as there was quite a lot of dust and stuff on the...

Booked a single room, tv, cupboard, private bathroom. Room was comfortable and very clean as the bathroom that also has hot showers and provided shower gel , shampoo and soap. The location is just a 20 minute walk to the city centre walking down straight along K. Valdemāra street which is near, so it is not too far away from... More

Clean, bright hotel with easy walking access to the city or via bus. Spacious rooms with reasonable bathrooms and a fridge. Breakfast is not too good as it consisted of salami, cheese slices & yogurt. Some sort of fruit juice was also available. Reasonable prices overall and I would recommend this hotel for a short trip.

Ok to choose this hotel if you just consider following: 1) hotel is located just opposite Riga Arena, and unless you have business there, there is absolutely nothing of interest. Small coffeehouse down the road- and a bit further away you will find Super Netto and small shops. 2) Walking into Riga Old Town takes approx. 25-30 mins- there are... More

I cannot complain for what I paid! It is a bit out of town but you are paying less so ok if there are a few of you paying for a taxi back. I was a lone female and Riga seemed too dodgy for me to go clubbing and risk being drunk alone. The hotel is in the middle of... More

If you like it cheap and simple this is your place to stay. No extra glamour, just pure simple standard accomodation. The double room has television with numerous local channels and our favorite channel CNN. The breakfast is totally fine if you do not expect a gourmet breakfast, it has all you need: coffee, tea, eggs, tomatoes, sausages and cheese... More

I spent there 2 nights recently and was very happy with my stay. Simple, clean, and welcome place. Friendly people working at the front desk. Hotel is located just over 2 kms from Old City and Train/bus station but you can get close enough by taking tram No 11, or just have a nice walk. Breakfast there is quiet good,... More

The hotel is a little bit outside the center, but still on a walking distance though. Staff was alright and English speaking. The breakfast was not anything special but good enough to start the day with. The hotel is especially great when you attend an event in the Arena Riga (like a concert for example): it is it just opposite... More

Hotel is cheep, but value is OK. Don't expect all lights in the bathroom to work, to have air conditioning or at least ventilation system - but it is ok (maybe too noisy in the morning - you can hear everyone taking a shower).

Though the hotel is located not in the very central part of Riga, it is easy reachable by public transport. If you visit Riga by car and want to find an inexpensive accommodation, the hotel is what you need.
