Rooms are okay, but shows age. The bed was comfortable. Shower was a bit cramped. Excellent service though, all around. Front desk was very helpful, and helped install a public transportation app, among others. Breakfast was - well, had sparkling wine and the best hash brown, but limited choices, otherwise. Still, it was worth going to. Location is fantastic, near tram, Super market, shopping center, restaurants, etc.

Great hotel in a great location between old town and city center. 🏨 If you want to be close to the most important attractions, within walking distance, this is a great choice! A beautiful boutique hotel, with a movie atmosphere and elegant decor. The rooms are decorated in a cinema 📽️🎬atmosphere, the movie posters in the corridors are impressive. The interiors are nice and photogenic. 🎬🎞️ The staff is nice and helpful, our room was ready before check-in time and we got the keys earlier.❤️ We could leave our luggage after check-out. The bed is very large and comfortable, the room has a kettle, a coffee machine and a well-equipped bar. For breakfast, there is a large selection of sweet and salty food. There are also highchairs for children. 👧❤️ A great place to stay in Riga. I recommend and will be happy to come back!🙂
