Great location

Review of Centra Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 Aug 2018via mobile
Spent a very pleasant time at this hotel (3 nights from 29/8/18). It's location is ideal for exploring the many attractions the Old Town has to offer. Both the rail and bus stations are only 5 mins walk away and the bus from the airport stops at the end of the street. We were upgraded to room 401 (junior suite), which is at the front, on arrival and other reviews suggested that the close proximity of nightlife might make it noisy, but there was only minimal sound from outside. The hotel met our requirements and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Riga Old Town is beautifully kept and with the weather (daytime 30° evening 24°) there was plenty to see and do.

We just had a great stay at this place. Although we were to early upon arrival it was no problem as our room was already available. The lady at the reception was great, very friendly. We got a very spacious room with a great view. Also there were plenty of extras like bottled water and toothbrushes. The hotel itself is perfectly located in the old town. Definitely recommended!

The hotel is comfortable, the breakfast buffet good, the staff pleasant, the location is very central making most attractions within walking distance. But the location is the noisiest I found in my exploration of the old town and for me negated all the advantages it has. It is surrounded by bars, clubs and football and Irish bars with music and noise until 3-4AM. The hotel actually supplies earplugs in the room and believe me you will need them. If you want to use a Rixwell hotel try one of the others I'm certain none are as sleep-depriving as this one.

This hotel is very well located. You can walk to all the tourist sights. Plenty of bars and restaurants close by.

Taxi 15 - 17 euros from airport and only a 20 min ride.

We stayed in suite 401 which was lovely. Space galore, separate lounge and bedroom. Towelling robes and slippers, tea/coffee making. Being street side you get late night noise (can be up until 6am) but the double glazing is good. I'm a light sleeper and I was OK but ear plugs are provided so the hotel is aware of this. The city view was worth it. Excellent housekeeping. breakfast ample with plenty of choice (fizz complimentary, cheeky way to start the day).

We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here the first weekend of the Christmas markets.

Upon arrival we had our room upgraded which was a nice surprise and greatly appreciated. Our room over looked the cobbled streets in front of the hotel, it was a good size with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge all very clean.

The hotel is in a brilliant location no more than a 10 minute walk to most places of interest.

The breakfast was down in the cellar/basement area of the hotel it was ok but nothing special.

The young girls that work on reception are extremely polite and friendly and a credit to the hotel.

Would definitely stay here again.
