Great stay!

Review of Centra Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 Mar 2018
Me and my boyfriend stayed in this hotel for 4 nights. Honestly, we didn't expect that we will have such a great stay for this price. We had a double room on the 5th floor.
Check-in was fast and friendly. Room was really spacious for a standard room. We had a nice view from our window. Bed was really comfortable, each of us had 2 pillows. In the room we had: clothet , TV, earplugs, clock, bed tables, working desk, phone, coffee/tea facilities and mini bar.
As we booked directley we got some nice, small presents from the hotel. Bathroom also was good but I would prefer bigger towels. Cleaning ladies are extremly friendly and super proffesional. Breakfast was fine. Room soundproofing was kinda good.

We didn't hear any noises from the street (although we slept with opened window every night). We are staying in Old Town quite often and we do know the issues about noise on the streets. But thats definitely not a hotel fault. Old Town is a party place and bars/pubs etc. are open almost 24/7 if You want to stay in a quite area do not choose hotels in Old Town. Cause people shouting and drinking till 7am is a normal thing here but that's absolutely nothing to do with the hotels. Definitely would recommend this hotel.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Rixwell Centra hotel. We arrived at the hotel following getting a taxi from the airport (12 euros) First impressions was that it was a lovely clean and modern hotel.

We arrived early so unfortunately the room was not ready, however we were able to store our bags. Check in was very easy and quick. The receptionist very friendly. We were lucky enough to get a room upgrade to a suite on the 6th floor. The room was perfect. Very spacious and modern.

Tea and coffee making facilities were available and replenished daily. There was a mini bar in the room which offered very reasonably priced drinks. The bathroom was of a good size with lovely under floor heating. Free toiletries were available. There is a hairdryer, although not that powerful.

The views overlooking the city were great. Yes, the rooms were slightly noisy at night but this is what you get when you stay in a city. Ear plugs are available if needed. We never had trouble sleeping at night, maybe the lower rooms are noisier?? Our only slight complaint was that the room was so very hot. we did open the windows which made it more bearable but if you were a light sleeper then you may get disruption from the street.

Breakfast was perfect. How anyone moans I really don't know. There was a selection of hot and cold food. What more do you want. There was even sparking wine to have if you wanted.

Location is perfect, near all the sights and close by to restaurants and bars.

For the money this is a perfect hotel. I would recommend anyone to stay here.

The hotel is centrally located in the oldtown. Inside it is very quiet. We checked in spontaneously and were offered to stay in a suite for the price of a double room. The suite was spotless clean, big and comfortable. The huge bed had a very good firm mattress. Breakfast was also good and staff was very friendly.

I stayed here for a week.

GOOD
- quirky rooms. Great decor.
- stunning, deep bath. First hotel I could have a proper bath in
- good hot shower with decent water flow
- the bed was firm and I didn’t normally like that, but had great sleep
- very central. Everything no more than 5 mins away
- helpful, happy reception staff
- BRILLIANT WIFI!!!!!!!!

OK
- breakfast was nothing to rave about. But it’s included free. So yeah
- coffee - avoid it.

BAD
- I have nothing bad to say about the room.

A few previously bad reviews from people with under 10 reviews. These are the entitled minority. Ignore their reviews. This hotel is bang on the money for price, convenience and location.

The nightclub did not bother me at all and I shared a room. It was hardly noticeable.

If you stay in a central location, that is why talk to the pubs, clubs and attractions, there is going to be noise.

What a quiet room, go to the country and get a bed and breakfast. Sheesh!!!

This Hotel is well placed in the Old Town, you don't require a taxi and its easy to explore the town on foot. Although many streets are cobold and have not been repaired. The good item is there is little traffic in the old town.

Many great restaurants and bars as well as the architecture and in December the Christmas markets dotted around town. Easy Taxi ride from the Airport / Station and has good clean rooms and a good breakfast. No restaurant at other times.

Dear Craig333_13, Thank you for choosing Rixwell Centra Hotel for your place to stay whilst visiting Riga! We could not agree more that there is a great amount of restaurants, bars and other attractions, such as the Christmas markets, only a walking distance away from our hotel. Once again, thank you for your stay and review, and we will see you again in Rixwell Hotels!

The Rixwell Centra deserves it's name: It is located in the heart of the Old City of Riga. This is good - all attractions are within walking distance - but also bad, it can be noisy at night. The hotel is aware of ir and provides ear plugs (we did not need them).

Our room was small, but still comfortable and well equipped. However the bathroom was very crowded, the bath a bit slippery and high above the floor, and there was no handheld showerhead. The hairdryer was weak.

The breakfast hall in the basement reminded us of a wine cellar. Beautifully decorated, and breakfast itself was very good.

Reception agents were helpful, and check in/check out was very quick.

There are many restaurants and bars around the hotel and a shopping center about 3 minutes away (walking).
