Pros:

Asukoht väga hea ja personal meeldiv, külalislahke.

Cons:

Kõik, nii hotelli sisene kui ka tänava müra kostusid tuppa, mis häiris rahu.
Ps. Padjad olid alla igasuhust arvestust, kõva ja tilluke!

Sisekujundus jättis soovida, samuti hommikusöök, aga üldiselt jäime rahule.
Pros:

Voodid olid mugavad, tuba oli puhas.

Cons:

Öösel oli päris mürarikas, hommikusöök oli alla keskmise (munapuder oli kummine ja maitsetu, keedumunad olid sinised), kohv ja puuviljad olid maitsvad.

Удобно
Pros:

Отличное расположение: рядом и железнодорожный, и автовокзал, и сам центр города. Багаж можно оставить до заселения и после выселения — это действительно очень удобно. Завтрак не очень разнообразный, но хороший. В номере есть всё необходимое: чайник, холодильник и кондиционер.

Nice, easy-to-reach hotel close to major tourist attractions

Edullinen majoitus hyvällä sijainnilla
Pros:

Siisti ja edullinen majoitus hyvällä sijainnilla. Aamupala ihan ok.

Cons:

Hissiä ei ole, kannattaa ottaa huomioon. Huoneeseen mentäessä todella vahva tuoksu huoneessa, puhdistusaine/huonetuoksu? Äänieristys heikko, kuului viereisestä huoneesta kuorsaus. Ei ole pimennysverhoja, joten hyvin valoisaa huoneessa heti aamusta.

Pros:

Labai paprastas viešbutis. Nespėjome ryte į pusryčius, bet nuostabus personalas davė dar kavos bei varškės.

Cons:

Labai prasta garso izoliacija. Girdisi žingsniai, pokalbiai.

Pros:

Hotel na kilkudniowy wypad. Można się dobrze wyspać i potem ruszać na zwiedzanie. Transport wygodny - Ryga jest dobrze skomunikowana nawet z lotniskiem. Śniadania bardzo dobre, cały czas produkty były uzupełniane. Ekspresy do kawy robiły dobrą robotę.
