The most elegant and unique 4star hotel Garden Palace was opened in the beginning of 2007. 19th century building is superbly located in the heart of Riga, part of the city with ample opportunities for entertainment, business and acquitance with the Latvian culture. The fabulous panoramic view of the Old Riga, Town Hall Square, embankment and great river Daugava is one of the advantages of the hotel Garden Palace.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Booked this hotel trough booking.com, when we got there the hotel was closed, after 15 min of trying to reach someone, a guy showed up, but he only spoke Latvian, had to take help from someone walking by to translate. We were send to another hotel where they had no space for us, we were again sent to the 3 hotel were we finally were able to check in after one hour of driving around in Riga. In other words don't book this hotel and save yourself a lot of trouble.

Booked this hotel via a booking site believing the adverts that this was an older but adequate hotel (the four star rating was most likely self-awarded but that was OK) and found that it has hardly any of the amenities it offers on its website. The first red flag was having to pay on arrival rather than on check out (never seen this before) and the fact that check in took about 20 minutes. We also arrived early evening to the hotel looking closed and having to be let in through the gate by a security guard (this turned out to be at all hours). Room was dated, the 'antique' furnite in the room worn out. Beds OK and at least bedding clean. Bathroom was OK but had broken mirror and shower tray drained very slowly. Loose floorboards meant that everything in the room shook when anyone walked. Generally felt dark and worn out. At least it was quiet and very close to the centre of the old town. Second star is for the location. It is a real shame as Riga is beautiful and we had a good time otherwise. We will stick to branded hotels in future. There is no swimming pool as the website states. There is no bar as the hotel decided to close it owing to complaints about prices. The lobby and other communal areas had an awful smell which my friend said was most likely a dirty mop being used.

We knew it wouldn't be some kind of luxury hotel before we got there, but sadly our expectations (while low) still wasn't met. The staff seems to hate their jobs, everything about the hotel is kitsch and worn down. We didn't get our room cleaned for our three days stay and had to ask multiple times for a TP-roll and new towels. The only thing they did was refill the minibar. Beds were old, but decent. Breakfast not terrible, but if a lot of people wants coffee you'll have to wait. Should either be turned into a hostel or renovated completely in my opinion. Location is flawless though!

We stayed at this hotel for four nights. It is very central, very close to the main attractions and restaurants. Breakfast was ok, room was clean and spacious. I wouldn't mind staying there again if I revisit Riga.

The garden palace is a wonderful hotel with an old fashion decor that really seems to pop. The staff are very helpful and the breakfasts are great. The rooms surrounds a central courtyard away from the street consequently rooms are very quiet and you get a good nights rest. The gate from the street is constantly locked, you need to push the buzzer to have it opened. Comfortable and clean and would have no hesitation in rebooking in the future. Highly recommend.

Waiting for a refund from 15.09.18 until today. They have been promising it ASAP since then. Guess the ASAP has a different meaning in Garden Palace... Otherwise the rooms were OK, breakfast very basic. Some mornings the coffee machine worked and some mornings not.

Our group of 7 found this hotel to be adequate - comfortable enough but quite basic, definitely no frills with a 'dated' feel. The rooms are sparsely furnished and ours looked out onto walls and other windows. The place is quite gloomy inside - decor and lighting very dull - and we visited in summer. Breakfast was basic - bread, cheese, some cold meats and some cereals. The entrance gate to access the hotel is always locked - you ring a bell to gain entry and someone quickly appears to let you out - quite unusual but it created no problems for us. The hotel location is excellent - very close to the old city and within easy walking distance (with suitcases) from the number 22 bus stop coming/going to the airport. It seems a bit over-priced for what you get but the location is excellent.

This hotel’s biggest selling point is its location - it’s in the old town and very close to the river. I found the staff friendly and helpful and the room was ok. The building itself could do with a lick of paint! The interior can be a bit dark and gloomy. To access the hotel you have to go through a gate which is always locked. This didn’t prove to be a problem because whenever you want to exit/enter the gatekeeper makes a very quick appearance. However, it did seem a bit strange. The price of a room is quite reasonable, given the location.
