Okay hotel, 10 walk from the bus station. Five minute walk into the Old City. All of the tourist sites are very Supermarket and shopping stores all within five minute walk. My room was a standard twin bed for one person. It was small but clean. It had a hot water kettle, coffee and tea packets, mini fridge filled with hotel soda drinks and alcohol drinks, and TV, and air conditioner. Breakfast was very good, eggs bacon pancakes, potato paddies toast jams rolls cereals juices, coffee tea variety of meats and fruits.

Beautiful newly renovated hotel! Air conditioning, elevator, comfortable beds, best breakfast buffet I ever had. Room was a little small and tub was an awkward shape but those were minor issues. Convenience store on the corner and easy walk to all of the old town. On a main street so there is some traffic noise. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Riga!

Perfect place to stay in busy city centre.
Beautiful hotel, very well designed in a busy city centre. Perfect location, close to everywhere - old town just behind you, Central Market and bus /train stations cross the road. Bus stop to the airport a few metres away from hotel. Rooms are big and there's everything you need to enjoy your stay - comfy bed, nice shower, plenty of storage space. Delicious breakfast and good coffee to start your day. And of course, friendly and welcoming staff in a reception and breakfast room. Highly recommend 🇱🇻

Easily accessible by public transportation, perfectly situated between the Old City and the Art Nouveau district, the Metropole is one of Riga's best hotels. Yet it is surprisingly affordable. Rooms are small, but the hotel dates from a time when rooms were just for sleeping. Public spaces are attractive and clean. Staff is multilingual and attentive. The "Gastropub" De Commerce 1871 should receive better notice: it's a lovely space with first class continental dishes and an excellent bar.

I emailed the hotel several times that I would like a quiet room away from the elevator and one that is not facing a busy street. At check in I received a room facing the very busy street. I asked to have my room changed and the guy in charge acknowledged that they received my email requests but said in Russian to the trainee at the reception “give her the small room” not realizing that I understand Russian. It was the smallest room on the floor. When I opened my not so big suitcase (26”) it filled the space between the window and the bed leaving me a small passage to the bathroom and door on the other side of the bed. I believe I was downgraded based on the description of the room I prepaid for. When I mentioned to the guy in charge that the room was very small, he shamelessly offered me an upgrade for €40 a night. Hence the 2 stars. The location was great within walking distance to all the major tourist attractions in old town Riga.
