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.
