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.

Wonderful one week stay!

We really enjoyed our stay there. The staff members of the hotel (reception, cleaning, bar) were outstanding! The breakfast buffet was fantastic for both adults (with sparkling wine!) and children (with tetra pack juice for take-out). Sauna, hot tub, and swimming pool are luxury!

The hotel is very nice. The walks around it are something to behold. The river is especially awe inspiring. There aren't as many 'destination's to go see as a tourist but I don't see how thats the hotels fault. Great place to stay and unwind, recommend.

We got a free upgrade to a junior suite, which was lovely with a separate sitting area and a nice coffee machine. We spent a good bit of time in the spa, it was all beautifully tiled with lots of things to try. We also had massages which were wonderful and relaxing! Breakfast was delicious with a wide selection to choose from.

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.
