I returned to this hotel in February for my birthday, after spending a wonderful Christmas stay last December. It was easy to make the decision cause this hotel is fabulous. Amazing breakfast, unlimited spa access, beautiful rooms, great location, and friendly staff. And the value for money is amazing too.

Cons:

Nothing!

Need to work better on services they have to provide
Pros:

Not the first time we stayed in this hotel for a weekend brake in capital. Aesthetics is the main thing why we chosen this hotel again. Beautifully decorated. Central location.

Cons:

This time unpleasant surprises was that in communal WC they don’t have sanitary pads!!!! You expect this to be provided in toilets in 5* Hotel. I had to go to reception and wait for woman receptionist to help me with this intimate problem. Thanks god they had emergency bag with pads BUT on the check out be ready that you going to be charged for that!!!!

Schöner Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Grand Poet sehr genossen. Bei unserer Ankunft wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und haben uns alles genau erklärt wie man zu den einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten komme. Wir bekamen auch ein gratis Uprgrade in eine noch größere Suite, als was wir eigentlich gebucht hatten. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und modern eingerichtet. Das Badezimmer war super ausgestattet und hatte sowohl eine geräumige Dusche, als auch eine Badewanne. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Cons:

Der Spa Bereich ist bei so einem großen Hotel leider wirklich sehr klein geraten, obwohl man einen Time Slot buchen muss, ist er sehr überfüllt.

Pros:

Mūsu meita svinēja dzimšanas dienu viesnīcā, īrējot numuru svinībām, un tas bija kā īsta pasaka! Viņa bija pilnīgā sajūsmā: viss bija pārdomāts līdz sīkākajām detaļām, svētku atmosfēra priecīga un patīkama. Saldi pārsteigumi no viesnīcas dzimšanas dienas gadījumā padarīja svētkus vēl krāšņākus. Mums bija tik patīkami redzēt viņas laimīgo smaidu! No sirds iesakām šo viesnīcu un ar nepacietību gaidām iespēju atgriezties vēlreiz!

Pros:

Room interior was nice, comfy bed, room was big enough. All facilities there. I needed iron on evening ,the receptionist bought it upstairs in 3 minutes.

Cons:

The prices in the bar, a bit too expensive fir coctails or glass of wine. But well, its not that I didn't liked, just saying a bit too pricey for Latvia.

Erittäin nautinnollinen.
Pros:

Aamiainen oli loistava, monipuolinen, hyvin ylläpidetty ja tuoreita laadukkaita ruokia.
Huone oli loistava.
Hotellin yhteydessä oleva Snob-ravintola ylitti odotukseni laadullaan. Drinkit oli loistavia, henkilökunta huomioonottavia, ystävällisiä ja asiantuntevia.

Nice spa and breakfast, definitely not a 5 star hotel
Pros:

The spa and breakfast.

Cons:

This is our second time here. I booked a room overlooking the park the first time and remembered the room being big. This time i booked a non-park view room. This was smaller and faced other rooms (we didn’t draw the curtains as we could clearly see into people’s rooms). The water pressure in the shower was bad and the water was either boiling hot or lukewarm. The bath would have taken ages to fill. We travel to Riga a lot and have stayed in quite a few hotels that have lower stars but have better tech/facilities. We were quite disappointed about not having a smart tv (no netflix/prime)- on some days almost all the channels will have german dubbing, and another day they were french. Also, a five star hotel should be giving us better quality towels. I am fond of the spa though..
