The room is simple, moderately shabby, but you can live, the windows are on the next wall, there is no noise of the old city at all. garbage cans that are taken out with a roar every night interfere, but not much. The two biggest cons: 1) There may be noisy neighbors, as I understand it, from Friday to Monday the risk of getting into such a high one, they come to hang out in the old town and make noise as if they are at home.

The room is simple, moderately shabby, but you can live, the windows are on the next wall, there is no noise of the old city at all. garbage cans that are taken out with a roar every night interfere, but not much.
The two biggest cons:
1) There may be noisy neighbors, as I understand it, from Friday to Monday the risk of getting into such a high one, they come to hang out in the old town and make noise as if they are at home.
2) And most importantly, the maids (or the specific one who serves the rooms of our corridor, my room is 227), do not clean the rooms at all. The third day I hang a sign with a request to clean the room. Throw out the trash, hang towels, clean the bed. And the floor in the bathroom is already black, the sink is the same, the soap in the dispenser is over.
As for me, all the advantages of this hotel fade in the dirt, but meanwhile I am a pretty neat person, not a pig. It is strange that people can do their job this way and no one really cares about this, since my review about cleaning, or rather its absence, is far from the first. Wouldn't recommend and won't be returning to this hotel.

nice hotel in a unique quarter from the middle ages. nearby is Va?? u street, where there are beautiful shops, restaurants and bars, in short a good location for a hassle-free acquaintance with the city. WiFi works well, shower could be bigger.

The hotel is located in the very center of old Riga, to the Dome Cathedral, St. Peter's Church, the Powder Tower - you can walk in slippers (within reach)! Actually, the hotel itself is located in a room, which in itself is a historical object, the beginning of which was laid by the Order of the Sword in the 13th century! == Infrastructure == Inside the hotel, if you go through the back room of the lobby, then through the back door, you can go down to a dark hall with low arches in the basement.

Inside the hotel, if you go through the back room of the lobby, then through the back door, you can go down to a dark hall with low arches in the basement. Surely in this hall at different times different good and not so good people sat. Nowadays, even without Sherlock Holmes, one can understand that the local Rotary Club is sitting in the hall. Be sure to go there!
The hotel restaurant is located "across the road" from the lobby.
== About rooms ==
The rooms are small, slightly "under the scoop", the overhaul was a long time ago, but some of the furniture has been updated. Cast iron bath in the bathroom. Windows - on a neighboring building (you can’t reach it with your hand, we tried). There are no slippers in the room, no safe, no air conditioning, no shampoos, no bags in the trash cans, no refrigerator, no light. Joke, there is a little light.
Latvian youth loves to walk the streets at night and sing songs. Narrow streets and the proximity of neighboring houses create an excellent acapella, make their voices powerful, loud, exciting! The last baritones leave at about 3:30 am. Garbage cans on our street are taken out at about 4-30, they are loaded in about an hour. True, not every day.
== About breakfasts ==
They love to eat here. Buffet and selection is pretty decent. In the American "troikas" it was worse, in the Egyptian fours - about the same, I will not compare with the Turkish fives...
==About service==
Our acquaintance with the hotel began with the fact that we were given the keys to the smoking room. In addition to the appropriate paraphernalia (for steers), the room was perfectly flavored with tobacco smoke that had eaten into the walls. We asked for another room, referring to our request in the booking. We were kindly provided with it, but in the second room it was SO pinched that we even thought that the previous guests had not moved anywhere, but were standing and smoking behind the curtains. It stank so much that we didn't even cross the door threshold. They quickly ran to ask for the first number back. But the kind receptionist gave us the keys to the third room, which turned out to be a single room (we booked a double room). With the FOURTH number we were lucky. Still, the theory of probability works, it saved us.
However, we were saved by one more thing - free cookies at the reception. Every time we went downstairs for the keys to the next room, I took a couple of pieces, and this saved the world.
Conclusion: I highly recommend this hotel, cookies save it!
