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.

We loved staying in Riga.
Pros:

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

Cons:

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