Excellent hotel. The staff were amazing and very professional, friendly and welcoming. The room was big enough and clean. The breakfast, although buffet, you could have as much or little as you wanted. If you want a fantastic hotel within easy walking distance of all the attractions (all within 10 minutes) and 2 minutes from the bus/tram stop then this is the hotel for you. Woukd highly recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel offers you everything a 3 star hotel can. Nothing special but for this price its good. I think The location of The hotel was the best thing. Not in the center of old town but just a few steps from everything.

This hotel has a great location for travelers who want to explore the old town. The area is very walkable and quiet. My room was not big, but as a solo traveller it was sufficient. Please note, there is no air conditioning, so it may get warm in summer. it would have been helpful if there was a fan. My room had a small old fan that can generate regular and warm air, but it was not helpful for me to cool down. One of the highlights was the breakfast which I enjoyed very much. It had pickled herring, cheese, eggs, olives, croissants, grilled veggies, meatballs and more. They had a nice espresso machine as well.

Stayed in a Comfort Double room. The first room where the TV didn't work was on the mezzanine floor with a window facing the street. Unfortunately it was very easy to see from the outside, so the curtains had to be used permanently. As a result, the room was very dark. After one night we moved to another room that was more spacious and even had a balcony. It really depends on which room you have in the hotel, even in the most expensive category. Annoying: you can't shower without flooding the bathroom.

Vom Flughafen aus ist man mit dem Bus unter 30 Min. in der Innenstadt. Von der Endstelle aus, ist das Rija Old Town Hotel fussläufig sehr gut erreichbar. Die Lage ist spitze. Direkt an der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer gelegen. Alles ist gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Die dicke Margarete, Museen, die Ostsee, besonders die charmante mittelalterliche Altstadt mit ihrem Rathaus und dem Weihnachtsmarkt. In der Nähe befinden sich Geschäfte, Supermärkte, Restaurants. Im Hotel hatte ich ein Einzelzimmer mit Frühstück. Das Zimmer war schlicht, modern, funktional eingerichtet. Garderobe, Kofferablage, Schubladen. Schreibtisch, Stuhl, Bett. Badezimmer klein & fein. Alles neu, Blitzsauber. Die Frühstückszeiten sind großzügig. Das Frühstücksbuffett lässt keine Wünsche offen. So Vielfältig und frisch. Egal welche Ernährungspräferenzen man hat, von frischen Heringssalaten über warme Speisen: Fleischbällchen, Würstchen, Rührei, Baked Beans, gemischten warmen Gemüsen. Verschiedene Brotsorten, süße Teilchen, Aufschnitt, Käse, Marmeladen, große Auswahl an Rohkost usw. Der Kaffee ist sehr gut und ist aus dem Vollautomat Tassenweise frisch gebrüht. Auch bei der Milch gibt es Auswahl an laktosefreier Milch, Vollmilch, Hafermilch. Für jeden, der gerne mit einem guten Frühstück in den Tag startet, ist hier bestens bedient. Das Personal ist stets freundlich, liebenswert und immer mit Rat zur Stelle. Auch Tipps für Ausflüge, öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Gerne wieder.
