Bed bugs!

Horrible hotel. In the images the rooms look clean, but in reality they were infested with bed bugs and were dirty. The reception was not helpful, because the management refused to do anything with the situation. After contacting Expedia, a new room was offered, which also had bed bugs. If you still want to book a room, make it refundable because none will take responsibility on the bed bug issue.

"Gnälligt" när man önskar tidig frukost. Alltså ska man vara på ett event klockan 8, ca 1 km från hotellet och frukosten börjar klockan 8 på helger och man får svaret att ett gäng bokat klockan 7:30 och att jag kan "försöka" äta frukost då!! Inte vidare servicevänligt! Nu hann vi ändå för att frukostpersonalen var klara vid halv 8, men receptionen visste inget, varken på lördagen eller söndagen! Dåligt.

근처에 맥시마와 리미 슈퍼마켓이 있어서 편했어요. 주차가 무료인 것도 좋았고요. 욕조가 있어서 반식욕도 하고 잘 쉬었어요. 다만 냉장고가 작동을 안해서 리셉션에 전화했는데 기술담당자가 퇴근해서 도와줄 수 없다는 말을 들었네요. 결국 냉장고에 보관했던 음식은 버렸어요

Das Gotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, war aber sehr sauber. Es gibt ein gutes Frühstück, wo nur gutes Brot fehlt. Das Hotel liegt etwas außerhalb, man ist aber mit der Tram 1 schnell im Zentrum. (Fährt alle 7-15 min und braucht ca. 15 min ins Zentrum). Das Personal ist nett und hat meine Probleme schnell lösen können.

Das Hotel per se war in Ordnung. Die Zimmer und das Bad sind alt aber für ein 3 Sterne Hotel akzeptabel. personal mehrheitlich demotiviert und vereinzelt unfreundlich. Nur die Reinigungsdame war freundlich. Leider wurde in diesen 5 Tagen nie richtif geputzt und Klorolle aufgefüllt. Frühstück für 3 Sterne entsprechend. Sehr knappe Auswahl jeden Tag das gleiche Angebot. Die Bar ist permanent geschlossen. Und in der Umgebung gibt es spätabends auch keine Ausgangsmöglichleit. Hotel liegt ausserhalb des Zentrum. Sehr gut an Tram und Bus angeschlossen. Fahrt dahin ca 30 min. Letzter ÖV abend um 23:59. Gross und ganzen nie wieder

This hotel has had up-s and down-s...now it is "up" for sure! Great breakfast is back again! Lots of free parking space, but all spots were full actually in the end of the day. Polite service, quiet area , if your window is not towards the street.

Reasonable Budget Hotel.

Budget Hotel with no 'frills'. Clean and presentable, but there is no Tea/coffee facility in the rooms. A trip to reception and get a Coffee is required. Not a problem for most but I expected the rooms to have this facility. The rooms are simple, clean but could do with some minor updating to the bathrooms. Generally a good stay over Hotel that is slightly out of the main Riga area centre.

Dobry hotel z bezpłatnym parkingiem.

Pokój Delux - stare wyposażenie pokoju i łazienki, obdrapane drzwi, powycierane stare biurko, stara wykładzina na podłodze, stare wyposażenie łazienki, wanna z plastikową zasłonką. Klimatyzacja nie działa (25 kwietnia). Czas na remont! Lepiej nie nazywać tego pokoju Delux. W dodatku hotel pobiera kaucję 50 euro w gotówce, za nocleg w tym pokoju!!! Czajnik oraz ekspres do kawy na kapsułki, w pokoju. Parking bezpłatny. Śniadania dobre.

It was very difficult to find the drive way by car to the hotel. We had two rooms with breakfast booked, plam was sleep good, have breakfast and at leave. When arriving to the hotel in the evening the receptionist told us that breakfast starts at 8am and because we didn't book early breakfast (breakfast bag) before it was not possible to get anything. Breakfast time was not mentioned while making a booking, also nothing about need of an early booking for breakfast bag. Rooms very not quiet, we were able to hear everything from our neighbour room, shower holder was broken. Rooms were old but clean.

Det var ikke veldig godt rengjort når vi ankom, dårlig støvsugd, skittent på en del flater og veggene på badet. Veldig sparsommelig på toalettpapiret, dette måtte vi hente selv i resepsjonen to ganger. Ingen aircondition eller vifte, hvilket var trasig når det var 30-33 grader ute. Kjedelig frokostbuffet, dårlig utvalg av både pålegg og brød, med kun rugbrød eller loff. Overmoden frukt og springvann m/sitronskiver. Veldig liten frokostsal for et relativt stort hotell, lang ventetid for å få sitteplass.
