A beautiful, cozy hotel. Friendly and professional staff. I really liked it. There is a Michelin-recommended restaurant on the ground floor. Excellent breakfast. You can choose between buffet and/or à la carte.
I only spent one night at the Grand Palace Hotel, but both the staff and the property were wonderful. The location is perfect, with easy access to the best spots in Riga. I’d highly recommend it and would love to return for a longer stay.
Beautiful property. excellent, helpful, friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. In walkable distance to everything Riga has to offer. Couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough :)
Great location close to restaurants and bars. Very friendly and helpful staff. There was renovation work happening at the hotel opposite our room but it was still quite in the room.
5 star. Can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Excellent location. Delicious breakfast. Helpful, friendly staff. Only hotel I’d stay in when visiting Riga.
Fabulous old style hotel in the old town with delightful, attentive and kind staff!

Exceptional hotel in all respects. Located in the old city which is perfect for sightseeing. The hotel is superbly arranged with a gracious breakfast room. The staff is warm and welcoming, always ready to help with the smallest questions. The bed was super comfortable.
Highly recommended
Really friendly and service minded personnel which was ready to take an extra mile for the visitors. Fitness room could be improved with bench for the weight lifting and fan.
