Trying to find this hotel at night was impossible there is no clear signage so ended up driving past three times. The reception staff were rude and didn’t feel welcomed at all. The breakfast was ok and to be fair the staff members at breakfast and check out were pleasant. Also hate when you don’t have a iron in the room!

I liked the spacy rooms and the architecture of the hotel. I did not like that the breakfast did not offer gluten-free, dairy-free and simple things like plain oats.

There is no heating, staff offered to downgrade my room but keep the same price of what i originally paid, told us to leave if we were not happy regarding their heating issue but not offered a refund. Its winter, when you book with a hotel you want to be comfortable but it was a bad experience and i had to leave the hotel and stay somewhere else. The staff were not helpful. Definitely would recommend to stay away from this hotel during the cold weather, there are not enough blankets that would keep you warm in that place! Expedia tried their best to help but the hotel refused to refund even after leaving the hotel once you check in!

Great hotel near the Riga airport
Fantastic new and well-kept hotel! Location next to a busy ready, but keeping the windows closed blocks all road noise. Just beware that the black-out curtains are not so black-out, which might cause issues during the early morning sun for people with light sleep. Possibility of free parking on the streets next to the hotel (upon availability).
