Dårligt og højst 2-stjernet
Pros:

Vi fik ingen rengøring/håndklædeskift på 3 overnatninger. Værelset meget slidt. Kraftig friskluft-spray stank på gangen. Utrolig dårlig, skrabet morgenmadsbuffet. Hele hotellet slidt og gammelt. Hvordan kan det hotel være 3-stjernet ?

Hyvä hotelli
Pros:

Vähän kaupungin ulkopuolella mutta tosi holjainen ja helppo tulla autolla,ilmainen parkki. Hyvä aamupala ja perus huone joka oli hyvin riittävä ja puhdas.

Pros:

"Gnälligt" när man önskar tidig frukost. Alltså ska man vara på ett event klockan 8, ca 1 km från hotellet och frukosten börjar klockan 8 på helger och man får svaret att ett gäng bokat klockan 7:30 och att jag kan "försöka" äta frukost då!! Inte vidare servicevänligt! Nu hann vi ändå för att frukostpersonalen var klara vid halv 8, men receptionen visste inget, varken på lördagen eller söndagen! Dåligt.

Pros:

Gutes Hotel mit eigenen kostenfreien Parkplätzen. Gutes Frühstück. Einkaufszentrum liegt in der Nähe. Sehr gute Anbindung mit Bus und Straßenbahn zur 4,8 km entfernten Riga Altstadt. Keine guten Restaurants in der Umgebung.

Pros:

Mooie omgeving.
Hygiene op de kamer was slecht. Vuil tapijt en de badkamer kom je smeriger uit dan dat je erin gaat. Je kon met de douchekop het vuil van de voegen spuiten en de rest was ook niet schoon. Voor ons nooit meer weer dit hotel

대체로 만족스런 스테이
Pros:

근처에 맥시마와 리미 슈퍼마켓이 있어서 편했어요. 주차가 무료인 것도 좋았고요. 욕조가 있어서 반식욕도 하고 잘 쉬었어요. 다만 냉장고가 작동을 안해서 리셉션에 전화했는데 기술담당자가 퇴근해서 도와줄 수 없다는 말을 들었네요. 결국 냉장고에 보관했던 음식은 버렸어요

Bed bugs!
Pros:

Horrible hotel. In the images the rooms look clean, but in reality they were infested with bed bugs and were dirty. The reception was not helpful, because the management refused to do anything with the situation. After contacting Expedia, a new room was offered, which also had bed bugs. If you still want to book a room, make it refundable because none will take responsibility on the bed bug issue.

Pros:

Das Gotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, war aber sehr sauber. Es gibt ein gutes Frühstück, wo nur gutes Brot fehlt. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb, man ist aber mit der Tram 1 schnell im Zentrum. (Fährt alle 7-15 min und braucht ca. 15 min ins Zentrum). Das Personal ist nett und hat meine Probleme schnell lösen können.

Pros:

Das Hotel per se war in Ordnung. Die Zimmer und das Bad sind alt aber für ein 3 Sterne Hotel akzeptabel. personal mehrheitlich demotiviert und vereinzelt unfreundlich. Nur die Reinigungsdame war freundlich. Leider wurde in diesen 5 Tagen nie richtif geputzt und Klorolle aufgefüllt.

Frühstück für 3 Sterne entsprechend. Sehr knappe Auswahl jeden Tag das gleiche Angebot. Die Bar ist permanent geschlossen. Und in der Umgebung gibt es spätabends auch keine Ausgangsmöglichleit. Hotel liegt ausserhalb des Zentrum. Sehr gut an Tram und Bus angeschlossen. Fahrt dahin ca 30 min. Letzter ÖV abend um 23:59.

Gross und ganzen nie wieder
