This hotel is right in the centre of Riga and very close to the No.22 bus stop that goes to the airport. It is just a few mins walk to the Central market and all the delights of the Old Town, It's quirky and the rooms are dated but there was everything you needed including good WiFi. Downstairs in a cellar type area, they serve a good breakfast, and in the evening there is a good restaurant menu, very reasonably priced

Good location unsure I’d stay again
Perfect location for exploring and has a lovely patio area to sit with a drink. The cave restaurant has about 4 tables and the breakfast room the same so be prepared to sit outside for breakfast. The buffet was small and fairly cold, few items missing from the beginning. The room did the job but wasn’t very clean, dusty lamps and side tables but a bag of something left in the fridge (assuming from the previous occupier).

Our room has good hot water. TV needs more English channels. Going to bathroom in the night very dangerous for some as there are some steps to washroom! Steps have nails sticking out, can cut or rip your clothes!! Walkable to the Old town. Very close to the shopping center, has a supermarket with cooked food/drinks/fruits, open every day until 10pm. Central market also short walk, more eating options there. Easy to walk from main bus station or railway station.

Problems Galore at This Hotel
First, hotel's on a no traffic street. Had to lug my bags down long cobblestone road. Then, hotel entry has 9 steps to take bags down. Aleksander did so for me. Odd man. Interrupts repeatedly. Not polite, but has good, helpful side. Wanted elevator. So, placed in room on 1st floor, but with steps going down. Then given 2nd room. Too small. Offered superior room, 7€ more per day.Took. TV didn't work. Excuse was change in cable. Blamed govt banning Russian TV channels. Went on all week. Fridge didn't work until fixed. Safe hard to see keyhole in dark. Steps in room. Breakfast OK, but in cramped room, everyone pushing, hard to move. Artur better staffer, but when I returned from short trip, having been offered same room at original rate, he gave papers to sign at 50% more. Insisted I'd booked it that way. I showed Hotels.com paperwork and also online proof it was same price as before. He was very annoying. I held my ground. He called supervisor. Much conversation and then admitted staff member made mistake. I'd cancelled one reservation listing me with 2 guests, then rebooked. Too complicated for other staff, who chose canceled reservation for 2nd booking. All staff seemed unmoved at difficulty in getting cab to go to bus station, first saying it would meet at Gallery Ctr, really far to walk with bags. Finally, I just walked where cab dropped me and vowed never to return. Note to myself: Ask hotel if on street where cars can take you to door. Also, no rooms with stairs.
