Приятный отель в старом городе
Pros:

Очень приятный отель в старом городе. Чистый и уютный, отличный завтрак и небольшой спа. Проблема с паркингом для автомобиля. Мы получили 2 штрафа, рядом с отелем, несмотря на то, что метрдотель нам сказал парковаться там.

Location. The vibe: it felt Latvian. The bar was great. Breakfast very good. Our room was spacious. Bed was good.

On the fifth floor the windows are small. We had a superior room; the photo showed larger windows.

Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

We rented 2 rooms for 4 people and were forced to pay a surcharge of 60 eur, just cause two out of 4 were kids... Super weird, staff did not explain it either.

A parkolást leszámítva szuper!
Pros:

A belváros közeli elhelyezkedés, a szoba, a reggeli kifogástalan volt

Cons:

Parkolni kb 300-400 m-re levő garázsban tudtunk napi 24 euroért

Great hotel but can’t recommend as they allow smoking in the bar
Pros:

Location, rooms, quality of service, breakfast

Cons:

The bar - they allow smoking! No signs up about it. Nothing in the hotel literature about it being a ‘ cigar bar’ it stank - and so did my clothes after being in there. It is the one reason why I would not recommend the hotel to others

Уютный отель с мишелиновским рестораном
Pros:

Отель находится в самом старом городе, стиль классический, приятный. В ванной все есть, минибар полный. Шикарный ресторан мишелиновкий, завтраки тоже полные

Cons:

Жаль нет бассейна, только сауна и спортзал только дорожка и эллипс и стенд с гантелями. Выбрала бег на улице
