Cheap Hotels in Riga

"Slap bang in the middle of Rīga, everything is walking distance, about 15 minutes tops to either direction and all the art nouveau architecture you could desire! Furthest walk was to the Holy Trinity Church, which you have to go over the bridge, but totally worth it. This hotel is mainly closest to the Orthadox church near a huge park. Breakfast has a variety, even if you're vegan too! Was impressed that you can have plant based milk hot coffees (but machine is very slow and temperamental). Would be nice to have had some vegan sausages, but you won't go hungry. The room I had was lush, very comfortable bedding, just a shame about the view, was facing the inside of the building and carpark. I would say for a 5 star hotel, coffee facilities could have been better, they were very basic, whereas other European 5 star hotels usually have a Nespresso machine or similar. Staff very friendly and accommodating of all hours of day and night!"

"Old hotel but very clean and in a perfect location. They pffer good amenities. It’s old but for the price was perfect. The only downside is the internet not being very stable. Good virw from my window."

"Overall value for money. Centrally located in the old town within walking distance to shops, cafes and attraction spots. Rooms are spacious with a small living area with sofa. Breakfast was fantastic. However, the rooms at block 2 do not have elevator access. There were 3 levels and need to walk up the stairs to room. Taxi couldn't access straight to the hotel. Nearest Uber drop off point would be in front of st. Peter's church."

"The hotel is a bit outdated but it has everything that’s needed for and it’s quite clean and spacious. The breakfast spread was quite ok. Not so far from the main bus station and quite a number of bus stops and tram stops. Walking distance from the old town."

"This lovely hotel located in the old town, walking distance to most of the tourist sights. They had laundry facility at level 4 with a payment of EUR 4.50. There had lot of cafes and restaurants around them. Room size is big and clean. Stable free wifi connections."

"The best thing about this hotel is the helpfulness and kindness of the staff. They have been superb. The hotel is well positioned near public transport making it easy to get to all major attractions. The breakfast was plentiful and again, the service impeccable. I would recommend it as an excellent value hotel."

"I usually don't bother writing reviews, but this place had quite a few things to complain about. **Location:** It's a bit of a distance from the old town, about a 15-minute walk. However, it's conveniently located right next to a large shopping mall, making shopping and dining very easy. **First, the positives:** The room was quite spacious, just as shown in the pictures. Two complimentary bottles of mineral water were provided. Slippers and toothbrushes were available (though you had to ask the front desk for them). **Now for the downsides:** **Service:** The female front desk staff's English was very poor, making communication a real challenge. The male front desk staff (who also seemed to be working as a bartender) had an unpleasant attitude. **Facilities:** The pillows were absolutely dreadful! The filling felt like lumpy, hard cotton, making it completely impossible to sleep! **Booking & Room Setup:** When I made the booking, I clearly specified 3 adults + 1 child (9 years old). After checking in and getting to our room, we found that the sofa bed hadn't been made up, but instead, they had provided a baby crib. When we contacted the front desk, their response was that ”their booking information indicated there was a small baby in the group.” Even so, is it reasonable to expect three adults to sleep in one bed? They eventually made up the sofa bed, but only provided a single duvet. When we asked the front desk for another duvet or to swap it for a double one, we were told that housekeeping had already left (it was 6 PM at the time), and they had no idea where the blankets were... **Late Checkout:** When I inquired about a late checkout, the front desk staff pretended to check the booking, typing away on the keyboard, only to then say, ”Sorry, we're fully booked.” However, I quickly checked online myself and saw that the same room type was clearly available on Ctrip... In my opinion, a direct 'no' would have been far better than such a disingenuous charade! **Conclusion:** Based on all of this, I won't be choosing this Mercure hotel again for my next visit."

"The location is excellent. I traveled from Vilnius to Riga by bus, and it was only a 4-minute walk from the bus station to the hotel. All the attractions in the Old Town, such as the House of the Blackheads, St. Peter's Church, and the Cat House, are very close to the hotel. There are also many restaurants, bars, supermarkets, and fast food options nearby. Convenience is a top priority for me, and this hotel delivers."

"I stayed in this hotel during 3 or 4 my visits to Riga. Everything is great and price is always very affordable. Good location, you are close to everything. Great gym I really have one issue - swimming pool and spa will be free only if you book superior room or higher level. It will be better to mention this before booking but not during checking the spa"

"Excellent! The hotel is very new and the rooms are spotless. Breakfast is included and offers a great variety, especially the coffee and salads – loved them! I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I'm back. There's also a park nearby, which is perfect for a morning stroll."
