I have no idea what I was expecting when I got to the hotel due to the reviews that I had read, but I really liked my room. The rooms were very clean as was the rest of the hotel, and definitely value for money. As a solo traveller (18 Female) I was concerned that I wouldn’t feel safe on my first solo trip abroad, but this wasn’t the case at all. The reception staff were very polite and made me feel very welcome. Checking in and out was an extremely fast process too, in comparison to some other hotels I’ve stayed at. The hair dryer worked wonders too which I was not expecting at all considering hotel hairdryers are usually terrible. The shower was a great pressure and the water was lovely and warm. I was also spoilt for choice on plugsockets, I think I had 12 all together.

Excellent option if you want a decent hotel room at a low cost. An old hotel in a beautiful building from beginning of last century. Several bus lines stop close to the hotel but I preferred to walk the 20 min into old town. My room had a refrigerator which was nice to keep drinks cold. Several good pubs/restaurants in the neighborhood. Two old but fast elevators. Helpful staff in reception. Possibility to store luggage. Large room with wardrobe, desk, chair, TV and two beds.

The hotel operates in an Art Nouveau building that was adopted for a hotel. It seems gloomy, but it has a charm. For instance we received a family room that was like a junior suit. It's within walking distance from the Old Town. The hotel rents parking spaces at a neighbor parking lot, where the guests can park their cars overnight until check-in time next day. It costs €7 or €8 per day. Even though the hotel is located on a busy street, it is quiet. The staff is very helpful. They recommended us an awesome restaurant Vigante just around the corner - pork ribs and pork knuckle!

The hotel is in a beautiful art nouveau style building - the original large apartments have been turned into ordinary hotel rooms, you can still see some details telling about the original room plan. Nothing exceptional, but a good 3 star hotel with basic facilities. Located outside the old city centre, which may be a plus or a minus depending on your preferences. Tram and bus stops are nearby, though, and public transportation is both cheap and functional. Private parking is available for an extra fee. Friendly staff, 24/7 reception, clean room with a big comfortable bed were A+.

The room was spacious and warm. This is essential because it was January, in Latvia, where they are famous for the cold. I was able to look out the window while it was snowing beautifully, and I was in a comfortably warm room. I found it very convenient price-wise, too. And it is a central location, literally next door to a supermarket and close to various food places.
