Hotels near Sea Gate, Daugava River, Lighthouse // Морские Ворота, Даугава in Riga

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 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*.

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!

Very unexpectedly high quality of service and condition of the room, wonderful breakfasts and more at a very attractive price. This is our first visit to Riga after our honeymoon 28 years ago. Convenient location for those who like to walk. Satisfied with the hotel and the travel experience!

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.

Nice budget Hostel in an excellent position to visit the city. Everything is walking distance and there is a bus stop just near the hotel. Easy to reach from the airport and from the bus station. Bathrooms and shower are clean and there is a microwave on each floor. There is a sink in each room and they will give you towels. There is also a caffetteria in the lobby. Receptions runs 24/7. Many restaurants nearby. I suggest staying here for price and distance from the city center.

Location is great, but that is about it. Hilton hotel in Riga can barely keep up to standarts and basic necessities, and is not reasonably priced whatsoever. Starting with parking, which is 20€ a day, its more like small extra land, which they call a parking lot. Barely enough for 10 cars, it was though to get to a spot and park, because cars were parked in no logical sense, there were no directions. They have underground parking, which they seemed unwilling to let you in, because apparently you ‘need assistance’ to get up and down and it’s not that easy. When we asked about access, after arrival on the first day, when we barely fit in the one last spot, they said ‘but you managed to fit in here!’ The mattress is rock hard and the pillows are so terrible, like I have never seen before, cheapest of the cheapest. Only drinking water available in the hotel shop downstairs(that they claim is reasonably priced, but it’s absolutely not), is the most expensive water bottles that you would usually find on a restaurant table, costing 5€ a liter. And finally, they have a warm water problem. If the hotel is full or you choose to shower in ‘busy time’(morning or evening) there is simply no warm water. This was a reoccurring issue over our stay and when we called reception after not having warm water on an October evening in Riga, when temperature is barely above 0•C, they simply said to wait for it. After 20 min of waiting and, once again, complaining that there still is no warm water, we were plainly told that there is nothing they can do because the hotel is full. We chose Hilton, even though the price was relatively high for staying in Riga(over 100€ a night), because we trusted in reputation and name of the chain, expecting a certain standart, however, it was not fulfilled whatsoever. Very disappointing stay, we tried to look over all the little issues, but lack of such a basic necessity as warm shower after a long day, was the last drop for us, so we checked out one evening earlier.

Terrific overall experience at the Riga Metropole Hotel. My brother and I stayed 6 nights-- we enjoyed the visit, especially the Hotel. Physical facility was smart, well appointed and very clean! Staff was friendly, efficient and most hospitable. Location is convenient to all of Old Town. Breakfast was outstanding...over the top...so plentiful, almost no need for lunch. Room rate was very fair for overall value received. GM was engaged and seemed to be every-where.... Definitely would stay at the Metropole again and again.

Lots of good points. Location is good, comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast, helpful staff. Just 2 minor glitches. We were upgraded but to a room where the bed head was close to lift shaft. Noise was not bad and the air con was not very efficient - highs were reaching 24/25 c. The timings given by 1 of front of house staff like time to train station was “optimistic”. There are lots of good restaurants in Riga and a few are a very short walk. Our last night we ate in the restaurant. It was good but I’m not sure the pictures matching the food really works. We did not want the 5/6 course tasting menu which I think the chef is focused on. It’s around €90 or €100 per head with service charge. It may be stunning but is top end price wise for Riga. There were only 4 dining our night. Good value for money and would use it again..

Hotel was perfectly located, right next to the old town city and across the street from market and train station. Room was cleaned and spacious. Room 425 was right next to staff room and staff kept smasching the door from ealrly morning till lunch and it was bothering us during stay. We notified about this receptionist and she said she will discuss it. Best thing about this hotel was definitely breakfast, you could choose from wide range - sweet pancakes or salty hashbrowns. I would recommend to go to breakfast either very early or after 9:30 because it was crowded around 9:00 am, but this is not fault of hotel. SPA was good as well. 15 euro for 1,5 hours - sauna, jacuzzi and small pool. If you book it online via concierge it was 10 euro. Overall, we were satisfied with this hotel and would pick it again for stay in Riga.
