We went in July 2007. This was my first trip through a tour operator, usually I prefer to organize everything myself. After a long conversation with the operator, I chose this hotel on the recommendation .
Before the trip, I re-read all the reviews and was already very pessimistic, my mood worsened when I got a room on the ground floor with a view of the wall. But the issue was quickly resolved on the spot and for $15.
I really liked the hotel and didn’t even bother that lunch and dinner were in another building, there was a reason to get up and walk =) 3 minutes to the sea along a narrow street with shops.
A friend advised Stay In Riga as an alternative to a hotel and we decided why not try it and were very pleased. We had a 4-room apartment in the very center of Riga (Old Town) not far from the river.
