Liked: Good value for money. Very helpful and friendly staff. excellent breakfast!!! Rooms are basic but spacious and we felt really pleasant there.

Disliked: Shared bathroom. Although there are two batrooms for four rooms. It is very good and it was clean but personaly I prefer own bathrooms. I must add that this was the best room with shared facilities because of these two bathrooms. Actually, I liked everything:)

Liked: Nice place. Perfect to relax and rest. Everything is included. Breakfast was just great. Outstanding quality and price balance.

25 September 2010 Adomas would recommend this property

Liked: Quiet place, great location outside the old-town, excellent place if you're coming to Riga for some business and want a quality stay for a small budget. Single ensuite meets or exceeds many 3 star hotels, just doesn't have the mini-bar. Highly recommend it to anyone avoiding parties in Riga. Location made me discover beautiful art-noveau area of Riga, which I would have missed otherwise.

Disliked: Adomas left no negative feedback.
