This is a very nice hotel centrally located in Riga, with only a short walk to the Old Town. It has good training facilities, a nice restaurant (for lunch for me) and a small bar. The Spa in the basement is also very nice for treatment or just for relaxing.
Very nice hotel. Spacious rooms, good facilities. The breakfast was insanely good with its variety of choices.
The bed was a bit too hard for my preference, but I did sleep well. Would definitely recommend this hotel for someone in Riga. Great placement, walking distance to the city centre.
A wonderful hotel, walkable from the main centre and attractions and extremely comfortable. The staff were excellent, particularly the reception desk, and breakfast was as good as I've had anywhere.
I will be back
The staff was extremely helpful with whatever we needed or wanted. Always a smile, and they always did their best to help.
The location of the hotel is perfect for a short stay, with everything you want to experience close by. The parks around the hotel are beautiful! The breakfast is lovely, and you can help yourself with a glass of sparkling wine if you want to.
The spa is really nice, and is the perfect place for relaxing.
We hope to come back in the future!

Nice hotel with clean rooms and very friendly staff
Very good spa, rooms are beautiful, well stocked, great location, no noise, excellent dinner, highly recommend. Only thing i wasnt keen on was the breakfast, it was quite limited but it didnt matter too much.
We had an absolutely tremendous stay. The property was extremely well-located, right on the edge of Old Town but outside the hustle and bustle of the tourist area. Situated between two beautiful parks, and right on main walking (and bus, too, though we didn't utilize them) routes to the Art Nouveau district, the central market, and of course Old Town. Just about every major attraction we visited was within 15 minutes by foot. And the hotel itself was lovely -- our room (a superior double) was spacious, the staff was incredibly helpful, and the breakfast buffet was the nicest we've encountered, pretty much ever. Not extravagant or showy, but everything you'd want in a beautiful space, with indoor and outdoor seating. Can't recommend this hotel any more strongly.

Beautifully-decorated lobby, guest rooms, and public spaces; excellent buffet breakfast; clean and modern wellness area with two saunas, steam room, salt room, large pool, and whirlpool. Great location a short walk from the heart of the old town, right across the street from a park and canal.
