Find Hotels in Riga, Latvia

The hotel was located in the center therefore everything was within walking distance, including the bus station. However I got the private room on the second floor, which as far as I see there was only another room (4 beds room) but somehow the bathroom in my floor was always occupied by more than 5 people. I guess people on the first floor also used bathroom on the second floor, in that case I think the hotel should have more bathrooms / toilets.

The Naughty Squirrel was one of the nicer hostels I've stayed in. The staff was excellent. The welcome that we got gave a terrific first impression which positively influenced the rest of the trip. The room was small but comfortable. The only real problem was that it was very hot and there was no A/C in the room, but upon asking for a fan, we were given one and it made a difference. This hosel is good for any type of traveller, whether it be solo, couple or somebody looking for a good time in Riga...there were a lot of friendly people at the hostel. The hostel is also in an incredibly convenient location, located not only near various attractions within the city, but also within a short walk away from public transportation and the main bus station of Riga. I would without any hesitation recommend this place to anybody considering a visit to Riga.

Pros: Its right above mcdonalds, opp freedom monument which is bordering the old town so location tops off everything. Rooms and showers are new and clean Cons: since its right beside one of the main roads it can still be noisy on the street at night that will disturb your sleep (i was on the 4th floor). So perhaps ask for a room that is NOT facing the street will be better. Walls are pretty thin too so it was so easy to be waken up by your neighbours unfortunately. They have laundry serivces which i think might be slightly overpriced (eur5 for cleaning, another eur5 for drying).

This is not a Hilton, so my expectation was accordingly. This hotel is on the market. There is also night market till around midnight. This causes noise, especially if window is open. Was good to see the market fizz from the window.. But later it made harder to get sleep. The worst was the barrier. Every vehicle in and out, barrier up and down: lilililili-lilililili, like an alarm system. :-) Reception guy was helpful and friendly. I would go back again. Room was enough clean. Only issue I have found is the shower head was fixed by scotch tape (a new one would be 2-4 €).

Of all the hotels I've stayed in in Latvia (5) is this simply the best. Staff everywhere are smiling and friendly: Cleaners, receptionists and waiters and bartenders. (You cannot take that for granted in Latvia....) My room was nice, with a good view. The park outside is nice and it's so easy to get to downtown Riga in no time with the public transportation just outside the hotel.

We had a great stay in this hotel. There are 2 supermarkets nearby. The kitchen is also equipped and they have a washing machine. The building is very cool because it's super old Soviet era. The check in staff was very friendly. The hotel doesn't offer any breakfast. Our room was on the 5th floor and good thing we had our backpacks. If you have big suitcases try to ask for a lower floor. There's no elevator. Bring coffee or tea as they don't provide this unlike other hotels/hostels (even they don't offer breakfast). The floors are creaky and noisy so if you're a sensitive on noises at night (like me) you better bring earplugs. The other guests were a little noisy but this is not the hotel's fault.

The cheap price, with ensuite bathroom and the privacy of an individual room, makes it better than hostels which may even be more expensive during the peak period. The room including the toilet was recently renovated so it's great, but the amenities in the room are a little spartan (no fridge, kettle, TV is old and small, etc.) but for the price it's certainly acceptable. Transport-wise there are 2 buses and 1 tram that leads there, but it does entail walking for about 8 min. Also, sometimes the tram can take 20 minutes to come at night. If you are travelling for a vacation, that probably doesn't matter. If you are on a business trip where time is of importance, then you may want to consider another hotel within walking distance of the city centre.

Good hotel! Very accommodating staff, friendly and helpful. We weren't able to have the breakfast, which is included, because we had to leave for the airport at 5:00am. I have read good things about Gertrude Rixwell's breafast, however... My family and I were on the tail-end of our Riga-Vilnius-Riga trip. The weather was hotter than expected, so it was SO NICE to be in a hotel with AIR CONDITIONING! Very clean, comfortable, well-apportioned. Value was good, too. My main 'beef?' Location. Maybe because my family and I were located in the very heart of Riga's Old Town for the beginning leg of our vacation, we were 'spoiled' by the centrality of our prior apartment rental...but the Rixwell wasn't as close or as conveniet as the prior place. (Then again, we were kept up up turbo-pop and harmonica music until 5am in the Old Town spot! The apartment was hot, there was no fan, and the space looked like it was furnished by a group of 21-year old dudes....the Rixwell was very quiet)

there is no sign board “ mimimi hotel” and can not enter the building without entrance code. You need to ask them when you made reservation. I was waiting for 30 mins and I couldn’t find out where is the entrance.. but I called them, luckily I had EU phone number and could text them. Until the accommodation looks not nice at all.. but inside is very clean!i think they renovated. highly recommended!!

I traveled by myself for 3 days and stayed here in the single room; it is in a wonderful location in the city, but not near all the noise. There is a wonderful cafe/cafeteria next door called Cafe 22 that I ate at several times -- excellent already prepared food (Russian/Latvian cuisines) and reasonable prices. The hostel is well lit, my room was very nice and sunny, and the overall atmosphere was casual and friendly. The manager was cheerful and fun to talk to; the only issue I had with this place was that there is only one toilet on the floor and it's tiny. I am not a big person and I had a very hard using the toilet. So the design of the bathroom was not well thought out. I didn't use the shower because I went to the gym everyday and used the shower there; despite the problem with the toilet room, I would definitely stay here again for the location, friendliness, and for the cheerful, bright single room.

I was looking for a good hotel near Riga airport and this was a perfect choice.I had my own car,therefore getting around Riga wasn't a problem.You can reach both city centre and Riga airport within 10-15 minutes by car.Spice shopping mall is also not far from the hotel.The room was comfortable.I enjoyed my stay and will certainly consider this hotel on my next visit to Riga.

The Old Riga Palace Hotel is right in the middle of The Old Town. The number 22 Airport bus stops within a few minutes walk of the hotel. No need for taxi - the bus is only 0.50 Lats. The staff are all friendly from reception through to room service and breakfast staff. Talking of breakfast this is amazing. A full buffet with hot and cold and sweet and savoury. There is also sparkling wine and vodka shots - it's just perfect. Riga was cold when I visited with snow on the ground and a little more falling. My room was really warm and cosy and the Wifi was great. I had TV, safe, ensuite and a well stocked mini bar which unlike most hotels was very well priced. No wonder it scores so highly in reviews.

the hotel is located in the middle of an old soviet housing community. the building itself seems to have been renovated well enough, but it would be difficult to find the hotel at first without satnav. the hotel did not provide breakfast (although its keycard booklet said breakfast was available 8-11am); the wifi was broken for half the time i was there; the shower door handle kept coming off. generally seems like an ok choice for a cheap place to stay for someone with a car, just passing through riga.

Location near the lake and sunrise is the best! Very good breakfast including the salmon etc. Clean and comfortable room, cheap price, about 30 Euros per night with breakfast for two persons. Very friendly staff. I think that this hotel Baltvilla near the lake of Baltezers is one of the best hotel with friendly room price near the Riga, for travellers with car who likes romantic, cosy etc.

I traveled to the Balkans, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Helsinki. I wanted to be around snow for the holidays. Riga, Latvia is this review PROS: The Staff was very nice an accommodating. The room was upgraded and quite big. This hotel was well placed just 5 minute walk to the city center and Christmas Market. The Breakfast was good and diverse. CONS: The hotel is in a good location relative to how far from City Center BUT it is sandwiched between several PUBS and they go from 4 am. You will hear nightly loud music and partying and drunks outside til 5 am. I have lived in the city and was able to drown it out but for those who are light sleepers, this may not be the place for you. I was only here for 3 nights so tolerable but any longer I would have booked another hotel.

Excellent location. Close to all attractions, bus depot, supermarkets, shopping malls and department store. Take Bus 22 from the airport and get off at the Autoosta stop. It’s literally 5 mins walk to the hotel once you know the way using the tunnel. Riga Central Market is about 6 mins walk also using the tunnel. The Hotel rooms are a bit dated but very clean and functional. Nice staff and lovely breakfast everyday. Would stay again if I return to Riga.

First, this place is not a hostel - rather someone letting out their own room. If (like me) you arrive at the address expecting a Hostel sign you will be frustrated and angry and waste time. Ensure you have a meeting time outside the building in advance. It is a big room but it's full of the owner's clutter - if you unpack you'll have to put stuff on the floor. The worst thing about the place is the two awful (smaller than) single beds. The other people in the flat are unfriendly to the point of hostile . The kitchen, bathroom and toilet are some considerable distance away and oppressively Soviet. Location is good - 15-20 walk from the old city and reasonable for bus and train stations and local cafes. Overall, there may be better options available.
