Excellent location, good breakfast.
Pros:

Hotel is very centrally located, about 5 minutes walk to the square outside Blue mosque.

Breakfast is in another building across the street. Breakfast spread is good, and food is delicious.

There is plenty of food and shops around the hotel, but I would advice to check the prices, and maybe venture a bit further out for more options, and maybe cheaper prices. Tram stop is about 10 min walk away. With the tram, you can go pretty far out of the central area.

Cons:

Restaurants around the hotel is pricey.

Pros:

Brokastis bija garšīgas, terasē,bet blakus mājā-skaists skats visapkārt.

Cons:

mazliet tīrākas grīdas gan varēja būt...
