The hotel was easy to walk to from the train station. It was in a good position for exploring Riga. The reception staff were helpful. Our room quiet, small but very clean. The bathroom was clean but had a bath but no shower. The television did have some English language stations but no English language news station Breakfast was 20€ which we thought a little expensive so did not stay for breakfast ( I think it comes with Prosecco , as non drinkers it was a no for us ).

The hotel itself is quite pretty, modern, great location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the welcome personalised fruit plate. However, our beds were like made from rock- I've travelled the world, and stayed in cheap hostels in Central America, but even there beds were way comfier than this hotel. It was like sleeping on a park bench. Unfortunately the bed is the main reason I can't give more than 2 stars, as sleep is the whole purpose of booking a hotel. And our sleep was utterly horrible. (The receptionist said that all rooms have the same mattresses and couldn't switch us). Second thing we were very unhappy with, was the daily cleaning- every day the cleaners would come in, give us clean mugs and clean towels, but that's about it. We stayed there for 10 nights, unfortunately our beds never got changed during the long stay, despite spilling coffee on our sheets the first night. Surfaces accumulated dust all over, the bathroom never got cleaned either. And this level of service accross all cleaning teams says something about the hotels standards. The hotel wasn't cheap, we definitely expected more. We never tried breakfast which was charged at €20pp, as we ate at a local bakery for half the price, so can't comment on it. So overall I dont think the hotel lives up to its star rating due to low daily cleaning standards, and beds that are impossible to sleep in.
