Let's start with our meeting at the airport, they met us well, we just flew in, the driver Konstantin immediately called us, picked us up quickly. We arrived in 3 hours. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted at the reception with smiles and immediately taken to the dining room.

Hello everyone, this year we rested with my family in Riga in July.

As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted at the reception with smiles and immediately taken to the dining room. dinner was over and we were left to eat. We lived in a junior suite, the room was good, clean, there were no smells. You could not leave the dining room all day, five meals a day is certainly cool ! ! We weren't hungry at all! Animation for children is also good. The beach is clean and private. The territory is well-groomed, every morning we watched how they clean and water, well done! Once there was a shortage of hot water, we called the reception, the girls said that within 20 minutes this problem would be fixed, and it was! ! There is a guide on the territory, which is also good, I wanted something new, I chose and went. Next year we want to come again only to the Alpine village. In general, we really liked it, we recommend it to our friends. Riga is a family hotel!! !

What is good about the hotel "Riga" is its location on Aspasia Boulevard. Opera House and Freedom Monument located under the windows of the hotel, from the opposite side of the hotel the Old Town begins. So awesome the view from the room is provided to you. Nearby is a shopping center with a grocery supermarket "Rimi" - also very convenient.

A friend advised Stay In Riga as an alternative to a hotel and we decided why not try it and were very pleased. We had a 4-room apartment in the very center of Riga (Old Town) not far from the river. You can't sunbathe there. But in the evening they will walk very well. There were many cafes and shops nearby. What could not but rejoice, every day they chose different cuisines.

You can't sunbathe there. But in the evening they will walk very well. There were many cafes and shops nearby. What could not but rejoice, every day they chose different cuisines. Prices in Riga were not very cheap, as in all of Europe. Although the apartment cost us inexpensively 120 euros per night for 6 people, but it is 120 meters and 2 bathrooms!! ! Although it is usually 20 euros, this is the usual price for a 10 meter hostel in Europe. Almost every day we went to Jurmala by the sea. The train station was a 7-minute walk from the apartment and the trip took about 20 minutes. There were too many people on the train, but the sea was worth it! In general, we had a great rest and for the future we will definitely consider the option of renting an apartment. not a hotel.
