This is a beautiful hotel right in the center of Old Riga (the Cathedral, which marks the effective center of the city, is next door). Great value for money. All of the key historical sites are within walking distance. The room was clean and had a unique style. The view from the rooftop restaurant is great. The breakfast is great. I have no complaints.

The location is excellent, directly in the old town area. It’s close to everything on foot or by tram.
The hotel room was ok. It was spacious and clean. Two issues I found: the mattress dipped in the middle and it smelled dusty, which aggravated my allergies.
The rooftop restaurant had great views, excellent service and delicious food.

Charming and traditional
This is more of your traditional hotel with characterful rooms and a more personable service. The décor is a bit dated and the building is a bit wonky but that adds to the charm.

Excellent location. The room was OK, not much that that. It wasn’t clean enough…
Breakfast was good but started at 8:00AM, some days we needed earlier…

The only issue I had was the tub with a shower. The tub is very high to get in and out the the shower being on the side wall was annoying also no shower liners so everything got wet

The ambience is from a time gone by, a time when charm & grace were highly valued. A delightful change from chrome. I would live to come back when I could stay longer. I do have one thought. I originally chose here because of the elevator; I have heavy luggage because I will be working in Europe for quite awhile. Unfortunately a person must lug their luggage up 12 steps to get to the elevator.

Location good, breakfast good selection. Our room was poor, it was a Standard room but the windows were opaque because they opened out under the external stairway to the top floor restaurant. As a consequence, we could hear every conversation of guests leaving the restaurant until the restaurant closed. Disappointing.

The room itself was charming, I liked it a lot. There was no AC, but it was cool enough w the window open. WiFi was not the best in the room itself, but it sufficed. The bathroom smelled horribly like mildew, and the towels were super thin. Otherwise, I would say it was a good stay.

This is a wonderful, beautiful, historic building. As a result. It is old even though updated. My room was beautiful, but the floor was very crooked! Getting to my bed was like walking up a hill. Also, there was not an elevator, so be prepared to go up some stairs (help with my luggage was offered!). Even so, i loved the vibe and the hotel was great!

Not quiet- there's activity until 1 am every night. It would have been nice to know that the floors are not level but slope down in this old building. The left side of my bed was 5-10 degrees higher than the right. I would slide down if i wasn't situated correctly.

Beware when booking!
Two sections to hotel the “Old section” and the Classic part. We were in room 309, we were told this is the old section.
Floor is on a 5 to 10 degree slope. You sleep on an angle!
Very little light including only a small window for natural light and fresh air.
Weak internet in the room. The ended up putting a Modem in our room.
No air-conditioning
No frig
Safe not bolted down.
