Good location, no parking
Pros:

Excellent location, cleanliness, decent breakfast

Cons:

Big disappointment was the misleading information about parking. It turned out to be the public parking outside Old town, while the hotel had information on booking com about their own parking. It was raining outside and was quite a walk from the parking lot. Also, the receptionist wanted to charge me for the room while I had already paid for it with the booking

Pros:

Die Lage in der Altstadt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer 408 war extrem klein, das Bad war winzig. Die Tür zum Bad ließ sich nur zum Viertel öffnen, da die Tür gegen das Bett schlug, daher musste man seitlich ins Bad gehen. Die Dusche minimal mit Duschvorhang, der einem am Hintern klebte - ein Albtraum. Wir hatten ein Doppel Comfort Zimmer gebucht, laut Beschreibung bei Booking.com sollte Tee- und Kaffezubehör im Zimmer sein, war aber nicht. Auf Nachfrage wurde lapidar geantwortet haben wir nicht.

Personal war sehr reserviert.

Linda experiencia en Riga
Pros:

Ubicación perfecta, como parte de la muralla, tanto paya conocer el casco antiguo, cono salir un poco a la ciudad moderna, cerca del centro, a mano todo el transporte público, a 300mtrs .Impecable mi estadía. El personal super atento, en desayuno muy completo, el cuarto me tocó con vista hacia en exterior de la muralla

Cons:

Nada que objetar

Gutes Hotel für einen Kurztripp. Paare sollten ein größeres Zimmer nehmen.
Pros:

Reichhaltiges Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal, gute Lage des Hotels am Rande der Innenstadt. Moderne Ausstattung.

Cons:

Die Standardzimmer sind sehr klein. Für zwei Erwachsene und Gepäck nicht zu empfehlen. Kleines Badezimmer. Kaum Steckdosen. Die Standardzimmer sind eher etwas für Alleinreisende. Sehr kleine Betten.
