"Central hostel was simply wonderful. It was very clean, quiet and peaceful. The staff were fantastic and very helpful, especially Alana who gave me lots of good advice and information to help me find my way about and where to go and what to see. The owners have added a lot of lovely homely elements to the hostel. You really feel at home there. The outside courtyard has been created beautifully with pots of flowers and hanging baskets. There are seating areas outside in the courtyard too. This is the best hostel! My room at was fantastic, a comfortable bed, storage and lots of room."
"I recently stayed at this hotel for my birthday, and it was a wonderful experience. We were upgraded to a room with an old town view, which was truly stunning. Additionally, they offered us complimentary spa entrance after checkout, which was a delightful bonus.
The room itself was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable, situated on the 19th floor with an amazing view. The spa was also impressive—spacious, clean, and well-maintained. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service and amenities."

"I really liked the hotel, recommend!
The staff was nice and spoke Russian.
The room was large and had a kettle, tea, coffee, shampoo, and air conditioning. Free parking at the hotel, delicious and varied breakfasts.
It's not far to walk to the center, you just need to cross the bridge.
The bad things about the room: poor water pressure in the shower, and the water took a long time to drain and quickly filled up the bathroom."
"Amazing aparthotel. We stayed one night in studio and couldnt fault place at all. Hotel in old town Riga and few minutes walk to Christmas market. Apartment was spotless clean and had everything (and more) that needed (even dishwasher). Stafff is very lovely and helpfull and spoke Latvian, English and Russian. Would highly recomnend hotel and would definetely stay again."
"Nice rooms, very clean, there is also a spacious common area with kitchen. The hotel is in a basement, but it is facing an internal garden, so it is not an issue. It’s a self check in place, but the owner is super responsive via phone and chat. I could leave my bag in a storage room (although unattended). Great choice for this price! Recommended."
