Ideally located in the city centre of Riga, the old town is a ten minute walk from the hotel. There is a welcoming but simple reception with a restaurant and bar. Bedrooms are accessed via lift and located on 5 floors of the building. Rooms are of a good size and all are en-suite with bright, clean bathrooms (with showers only). Bedrooms are very clean and comfortable there is an on-going refurbishment so some rooms have older furniture but all have same amenities.
