Riga Hostels

We had the Grand Suite for a bachelorette event on 13th of August, 2023, but the service was truly a disappointment. It all started when at arrival the room was not ready and they mixed up the time of arrival with the time I requested an ice bucket to be brought to the room. Further, I requested a plate to put some snack on but the receptionist confused it with antipasti and after not clarifying this in 2minutes said that this could not be cancelled. The personnel of the hotel is truly a disaster. not client oriented at all! when asked to fix this the guy starts coming at us not in any way in friendly matter that this was our request (when we clearly did not request it). After almost an hour of wait the room was cleaned. I requested a compensation for all this misunderstanding and the receptionist personally came to the Suite and offered a 10% discount for the whole dinner at their restaurant. When we finished the dinner and the bill arrived we were surprised of the fact that no discount was added, the waiter said that there was no information available to him of any discount and that the bill he issued could not be cancelled (at this point we felt that we are treated as complete *****s) however we tried to make an effort and help him solve this whole thing. He tried to offer us a bottle of Prosecco which we kindly refused and basically accepted some cocktails which we did not want. The cherry at the top of this whole stay was when we went out in the evening and asked to send someone to our room to clean the glass from the bathroom floor which was accidentally dropped and the receptionist offered us help in 9am next day…. A 5 star hotel they say… and there were personnel in the hotel… so with galas on the floor of Grand Suit we stayed the night :) When explaining the situation in the morning at the check out and how disappointed we were, the reception said that they understand us and this is unacceptable and they will clarify and call me to resolve this, as we could predict, no form of justification was offered at all…Well, two weeks later and no call whatsoever, should have expected this…

We visited Riga and stayed here for 2 nights. I had modest expectations for this hotel given the price. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff are extremely friendly, and even remembered me by name which was a very nice personal touch. The reception area is nicely decorated, clean and modern. The room was clean, modern, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was a little dated, but it was only a minor point. The hair dryer however couldn't blow away a cobweb, so bring your own! Breakfast was included and was very nice. There is a nice buffet selection of hot and cold breakfast items, different fruit and a variety of hot and cold drinks. A small point to note is the hotel is located on the west of the river, which is quite a long way into the old town or Riga city centre. However, there is a tram and a bus stop right outside the hotel, so as long as you don't mind using the public transport in and out of the town centre, you'll be fine. It only takes a few minutes anyway! Check out is at 1200 but they happily obliged when I requested a later one at 1300. I have no complaints about this place and I feel the value for money was justified. I would definitely stay again if I returned to Riga. Well done Bellevue Park!

We stayed at this hotel a few times but the level of service became worse and worse. The location is all right but even the budget room price does not compensate for the bad experience which you will face. First of all, it is definitely not 4* hotel, maximum 3* if you will be lucky enough to get a good room. The room itself is small, the bed setting uncomfortable and the room is terribly dirty. Even when the room is ”Ready” doesn't mean that it is clean. Upon check in we found a row of empty bottles and cans behind the entrance door from previous guests. The water in shower doesn't drain. We talked about it several times but nothing was done. The breakfast is the same every morning and the breakfast area is so small that it is impossible to squeeze between tables. The coffee maker is so old that it is hardly working and coffee is awful and cheap. The staff is so hopeless that they are lying intentionally. If you forget something do not hope to get it back. Our previous stay we left jewelry in the room and contacted the Hotel straight away after check out. They nicely replied that everything was found and we can collect jewelry upon our next stay. I called the hotel three weeks before arrival and asked to prepare our stuff, which has been promised. But upon arrival I was told that they never confirmed anything (even I had written confirmation), later on that it was not my jewelry that they found and lastly that they have no time to deal with my request. so absolutely helpless, rude and lying staff. We spoke to the manager who promised to resolve it but as usual nothing was done.

I had a very nice stay, although disappointed with the whisky tramps outside and being warned not to walk the streets around the hotel at night I felt very safe. in my room. when it was locked. once you got to know them they were lovely. one man with 5 big toes for fingers was very pleasant and full of gummy smiles. The hotel tried to charged a completely separate group of friends that i dont know what so ever. with 1500 euros .TRIED being the operative word. TRIED. because instead of letting a fire on the back of his friends belly button spread into the building he thought it was the RIGHT thing to do as a registered fire marshall and use a fire extinguisher to put it out. a man of morals. Smoother surfaces on the furniture would have been more helpful. For cleaning purposes. The free trams around town were a delight and i enjoyed a pleasant chicken kebab salad for my breakfast in the market.

We had great time at the hotel, while celebrating my husband's birthday betwen two of us. The staff is professional and friendly. The room had a great view, it was warm and smelled good. The only thing that was not exactly to our taste, was the softness of the bed, while we of course understand it is a matter of subjective taste. Was also great to have a small water boiler in the room for making morning coffee. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast lavish. Thank you!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel which is situated in Old Riga not far from the castle and river. We stayed for 3 nights and were upgraded to a slightly larger room with a settee, table, coffee machine and double aspect view. Positive points: large, quiet, room with really comfy bed and different type of pillows (extra firm and very soft). Nice toiletries, fluffy towels, slippers and bathrobes. Heating was very effective! Location - easy to walk into town and down to the river. Welcoming front desk staff who speak excellent English. Nice array of breakfast options (including local cheeses, meats and fish). Nicely decorated dining rooms and lobby. Small one metre wide pool on top floor with loungers and a sauna (need to ask reception to turn on 30 mins ahead of using) Improvement ideas: cooked breakfast was a bit lukewarm on occasion and only one coffee machine was working which led to queues. No T bags or milk supplied - although there was a kettle (and fruit T bags). Sink outside bathroom which was a bit odd? It’s not a 5 star hotel - but a good city centre 4 star which was busy with lots of corporate guests during our stay. You can pre-order a taxi from reception to the airport for about 28 euros (10-15 minutes).

We needed accommodation for one night, close enough to bus station and this hotel looked nice. We arrived from airport by buss No 22, bus stop is not too far from hotel. Building looks ugly from outside, but nice and cozy inside. There was everything in room what you need for 1 night: comfortable double bed, large flat TV, water kettle with coffee and minibar. Our room had very small window. We missed more hangers, there was only 2 pieces. Unfortunately floor heating was not in order in bathroom. Breakfast was like in typical 3* hotel, but this hotel has 4*.
