Old Riga Plaza Hotel

The central spot could work if you’re trying to keep costs down, but the rest of my stay was disappointing. The receptionist seemed hungover, the bathroom silicone was black with mold, and even my junior suite had no bottled water. Reception shuts at 18:00 and locks the only place to get water, so you need to plan ahead if you want to buy some. I expected little and still found it as bad as I thought. I wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you have no real alternative.

The rooms are roomy, tidy, and modern, with an elevator, towels, coffee, and tea provided. Service was pleasant, and the hotel is right in the city center, making it easy to get around. There isn’t much sunlight and the window view was poor. Parking is paid and hard to find, and the nearby playground costs extra. Staff are only around for a short time. Have a good time, everyone ❣️❣️❣️

We were on the fifth floor at the back of the building and didn’t hear a thing, even though the hotel sits right beside two clubs. It was a weekday, though. The room was spacious and had air conditioning. The old town is really close, about ten minutes from everywhere, and the airport bus stop is nearby too.

Breakfast came with the room, but it was very basic, just cereal and packaged croissants. The location was handy for walking to the bus station and old town. There are bars and clubs opposite, though it was quiet during my low season visit. My room was a good size, but the TV had no channels and there was a loud buzzing whenever I put the card in to turn on the electricity. It was an okay stay.
