My stay was pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable, but a little cold even though we adjusted the temperature. The hotel is well-equipped with all the necessities and serves a good breakfast. The service was excellent and helpful, although not entirely customer-focused for a luxury property. The location is perfect, right in the center of Riga, overlooking beautiful parks. The dining experience had some highlights but also some room for improvement.

The hotel offers a great location within walking distance of downtown sightseeing areas and is relaxing with plenty of saunas to enjoy. The rooms have a view of the city landmarks but lack daylight curtains, and the bathroom cleanliness could be improved. The service was a mix of unhelpful and kind interactions. The dining experience had both delicious dishes and disappointing options. The facilities are average with nothing outstanding.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that featured a comfortable bed. The service was professional and efficient, making me feel very welcome. The location was excellent, close to transportation and a shopping center. The dining experience was delightful, with a wide selection of dishes. However, the bathtub in the room had a leak, and the shower drain was malfunctioning. The hotel could improve on being more customer-focused despite being a luxury property.

The hotel rooms were wonderful and spacious, extra comfy, and provided beautiful views and quiet atmosphere. However, some aspects made it stand out differently from others. The service was top-notch with a super accommodating staff that goes out of their way to be helpful. The location was excellent for exploring the city or for business, with almost all attractions within walking distance. The dining experience offered a large selection and was replenished frequently. Overall, a mix of standout comfort and service excellence with a few minor hiccups in location rushedness and breakfast selection.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were clean and beautiful, the lack of privacy due to zero view was a real issue. The service was incredible with all the amenities like gym and spa facilities but not completely customer-focused as expected for a luxury property. The location is convenient, being close to the old town and surrounded by parks, although the dining experience left something to be desired with cold food and some operational issues.

They even provided complimentary water, bath robes, and slippers. The bed and pillows were super comfortable.
