The Riga Islande Hotel is frequently celebrated for its spacious and comfortable rooms, which offer impressive views, though guests have called out the thin soundproofing and dated bathrooms. It boasts a visually pleasing atmosphere with a reputation for cleanliness and tidy daily maintenance. The hotel's amenities, including free parking and a varied breakfast, are popular among guests, despite some concerns over limited power outlets.
The location is a highlight, offering easy access to the old town for sightseeing. While service is generally helpful, there have been mentions of slow check-in processes.

Service: Was wonderful, they asked if it was my first time there and explained all the things nicely and neatly, not just dumping information on you when you ask yourself 5 minutes later what you just got told. They could answer all my questions and requests, if not them personally they got a person who could. They are professionals at their job. We had a moment when our relative forgot his keycard in the room and locked himself out, the staff registered a new card for him pretty fast. Cleanliness: They clean the place regularly, I was on the 5th floor, the flooring is red carpet, and it was always clean, the same carpet goes into the rooms, and of course it was clean. Bathroom was clean, clean towels every day. Value: The value of the place is amazing, I've stayed in quite a lot of hotels and places in Riga, this in my personal opinion has the best value, for the price of 45 euros a night(It was a standard 2 person room) that has free buffet style breakfast, with a great selection of food and dessert, air conditioning and great smaller things, it's hard to beat. Location: For us it was perfect, the convention was at Kipsalas International Exhibition Center, which is a few minutes away, there is also a shopping center next to the hotel, for various needs, a great view all around the island. Sleep Quality: Very good close to excellent, for a regular person it's absolutely excellent. The blinds for the window are thick, so you can block all the light from outside and make a near pitch black room. There is a larger lamp and 2 small bed lamps, and of course the lights in the room. The room was great for people that like colder rooms and warmer rooms because of the air conditioner. If someone was using the air conditioner, you could slightly hear it at night, it's really quiet but noticeable. Rooms: We had a standard double room. It was a nice room for us both, enough room for stretching and even a slow dance in the evening. The bathroom had shower hats in a small box under the mirror for people that would need that, liquid soap and even body and hair gel. Hair dryer was already installed in the bathroom. There was a small sewing kit in the drawers, tea, coffee and a kettle and a mini bar. Overall the Hotel was Excellent.

During my recent visit to Riga, I had the pleasure of staying at the Riga Islande Hotel, and it was truly a delightful experience. The hotel's location on Kipsala Island offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Old Town, especially from the upper floors.
The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, providing all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. I particularly appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the complimentary parking, which made my stay even more convenient. The staff at the hotel were friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delicious options, catering to different tastes.
The short walk across the bridge provided scenic views and quick access to the city's attractions.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
The location of the hotel is especially good for car passengers. The hotel has its own free parking lot. The parking lot also has charging points for electric cars, and there were plastic barrier cones in front of those parking spots, so that no one accidentally drives into those spots. On this trip, I was driving a rental car, but I have a fully electric car at home. Room 705 had carpet. That carpet is not a good solution for allergy sufferers. Of course, according to the hotel's website, rooms suitable for people with allergies can be found on the 2nd floor. But that 7th floor room with windows to the backyard was very quiet. The floor drain in the shower corner of the bathroom did not drain properly, but otherwise the room was good. The breakfast was good and varied and there was plenty of space in the breakfast room.

Very clean and nice hotel with good price. Only 4 stars because we were travelling with a 3 year-old and the hotel didn’t have a pot for a toddler and the breakfast was not very kid friendly. Location was good since we were travelling with a car and the parkinglot was big and free for hotel customers.

We spent one day at the hotel in January. The hotel is quite nicely located. The room on the 8th floor has a nice view of the river and the old town. The room has everything you need - a bed, bedside tables, bedside lamps, desk, table, wardrobe, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities. Bathroom ok - although I'm not a fan of shower curtains and bathtubs in a hotel. The breakfast buffet is okay - a lot of hot dishes and cold meats, cheeses, vegetables, salads, fruits, yogurts. The downside was waiting for check-in, which we were supposed to have at 2 p.m., and unfortunately the room was not ready and we waited in the lobby for 40 minutes. Of course, we were informed that we could choose a room on a lower floor without a view, but when booking a specific room, it is rather logical that we would like to get one. To sum up, we recommend the hotel.

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel. Taking a pleasant walk, crossing the bridge, you reach the center of Riga. The hotel offers free parking. The breakfast is international. Our room was spacious and very clean. There is the possibility of accessing the spa (minimum two hours). We did not use this service (which requires a fee) and should include a sauna and hydromassage. The restaurant on the tenth floor is very nice and offers an excellent view of the city.

I like the hotel as it is very close to the Riga fair and next to a very large shopping center with restaurants, a supermarket and businesses. The hotel itself is nice, clean and the morning buffet is very varied. What I didn't like was the single bed and how soft it was. I have woken up with back pain since I am used to harder beds. What bothered me a lot was the charge of €7/hour on the day of my departure from the hotel. My flight left at 5:00 p.m. from Riga and I have requested a late check out. Unfortunately it seemed to the manager at the reception that we are not regular clients (already reserving the room 3/4 times in this hotel, that is, once a year) and he charged me €14 extra. It seems quite ugly to me as frequent customers of the hotel and Genius 3 of Booking.

Stayed here for weekend break in Riga. Hotel is about 20 mins across the bridge to old Riga . There is a shopping complex five mins away from hotel . We booked basic twin rooms and was upgraded to a superior room which had three single beds in it. Breakfast was ok , there was some young children from sporting club staying at weekend and made the restaurant overcrowded for breakfast and was unable to find a table. We had to sit in reception and eat our breakfast. Rooms a bit cold at night. Needs some painting in bedrooms . Hotel could be improved. Bar shut early, bowling closed and spa has to be booked per hour in groups . Not sure standard for hotels in Latvia but would not give it 4.5. Stars they had .

The rooms were very comfortable and extremely clean, with a wonderful view of the city of Riga and the river. The cleaning staff was changing the towels and trush bins every day. Breakfast was delicious with a vast variety of meals and coffees to taste. 15 minutes close to the bus stops going to the Airport and less than 30 minutes walking to reach the old town of Riga. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the city.

The islande hotel is located very close to the river, next door to the olimpia (sport and food) shopping mall, and approx 20 minutes walk over the bridge from Riga old town. The hotel is a modern multi storey hotel with parking onsite.
I booked my transfer from the airport to the hotel through the hotel. In 2023 the cost was 30 euros one way for up to 4 persons.
Check in at reception was professional and friendly and I was allocated a ‘river view’ room on the 7th floor. Only one of the two lifts was working during my stay which sometimes meant long waits. Im sure this problem will be resolved.
My room was a comfortable twin room with mini bar, flat screen tv (a good number of English speaking channels), desk and tea/coffee facilities. (Note if you like milk in your tea buy some at store in shopping mall). The shower room was a little dated but functional. I did find the room very warm - just about fine at this time of year.
Breakfast is served on the ground floor next door to the bar. Their is both hot and cold euro breakfast offerings, as well as juices, tea n coffee, cereals etc.
The restaurant is located on the 9th floor with superb views over the river to the old town. I ate twice in the restaurant and the food was extremely good - especially the ribs. It does get busy with groups, parties etc.
This is a good value hotel 20 minutes walk from old town. If you want somewhere closer to the action, then stay right in the old town.

Карту Риги в отеле получить можно. Ужин в отеле дороговато. Есть нужно в центре на противоположной стороне, летом лучше всего кормят в летних кафе на улице.
