Hotels near Ethnic museum "The World of Hat", Riga

Clean and comfortable rooms. Friendly service. Breakfast is good, smaller than some hotels but well presented.

We had the Grand Suite for a bachelorette event on 13th of August, 2023, but the service was truly a disappointment. It all started when at arrival the room was not ready and they mixed up the time of arrival with the time I requested an ice bucket to be brought to the room. Further, I requested a plate to put some snack on but the receptionist confused it with antipasti and after not clarifying this in 2minutes said that this could not be cancelled. The personnel of the hotel is truly a disaster. not client oriented at all! when asked to fix this the guy starts coming at us not in any way in friendly matter that this was our request (when we clearly did not request it). After almost an hour of wait the room was cleaned. I requested a compensation for all this misunderstanding and the receptionist personally came to the Suite and offered a 10% discount for the whole dinner at their restaurant. When we finished the dinner and the bill arrived we were surprised of the fact that no discount was added, the waiter said that there was no information available to him of any discount and that the bill he issued could not be cancelled (at this point we felt that we are treated as complete *****s) however we tried to make an effort and help him solve this whole thing. He tried to offer us a bottle of Prosecco which we kindly refused and basically accepted some cocktails which we did not want. The cherry at the top of this whole stay was when we went out in the evening and asked to send someone to our room to clean the glass from the bathroom floor which was accidentally dropped and the receptionist offered us help in 9am next day…. A 5 star hotel they say… and there were personnel in the hotel… so with galas on the floor of Grand Suit we stayed the night :) When explaining the situation in the morning at the check out and how disappointed we were, the reception said that they understand us and this is unacceptable and they will clarify and call me to resolve this, as we could predict, no form of justification was offered at all…Well, two weeks later and no call whatsoever, should have expected this…

We booked a room with a city view and didn’t get it (but paid for that). Hotel shows that have a parking, but if You will go to the hotel by car you will receive a ticket from police man, so you need to find a parking place. Was loud music till 11 pm. The swimming pool experience was horrible, a lot of man had drinks and food from the local shop, nobody was there to keep on eye what’s going on, so we just left those drunk people to keep parting there.

Although the service staff is really lacking in education and lack of training, the location is definitely not to be said, and the overall facilities are still very good and worth having.

Stayed at the HGI Riga Old town for 2 nights and had a very pleasant stay. The hotel is very well situated on the edge of the old town by the House of the Blackheads and right by St. Peter’s church with it’s viewing deck. Airport bus 22 (€ 1.81) drops you off minutes away from the hotel – get off once you cross the river and use the underpass to get to the other side of the road to Grēcinieku Street . The lobby was large and very welcoming. Checking was quick and friendly, offered a welcome glass of fizz along with a city map and allocated a room on the 4th floor which was very spacious and clean. Bed was a king and very comfortable, extra pillows should you need them were on the top shelf of the wardrobe. The temperature was easy to control should you want the room to be warmer or cooler. Wifi was fast too. There was also a fridge and kettle with tea & coffee if you wanted to make a hot drink in your room. The bathroom was also a good size, large walk-in shower and plenty of soft towels and Crabtree & Evelyn soaps & shampoo attached to the wall . The mirror was excellent, it was large and well lit and plenty of counter space by the sink for your toiletries. Breakfast was great, super choice of cooked items , delicious smoked salmon, mini hot dogs, cheeses, cold meats and fresh fruit. Plenty of breads and croissants, the cottage cheese pastry was especially good. You could also order fried eggs or an omelet if you did not want the scrambled eggs which were on offer. Tea / coffee machine was easy to use. There was also a glass of fizz for €6 if you wanted to splash out ! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. There are lots of places to eat and drink nearby so you are not far away from anything. Do ask for their list of dining recommendations from reception, it's quite useful. If you fancy a trip to Jūrmala for some sea air, the train station is a brisk 10/15 walk away. An excellent choice if you need a place to stay in Riga and reasonably priced accomodation.

This hotel is very well-located near the railway station, so it is walkable from there if you take the bus from the airport. Our room was comfortable and quiet, and we were able to leave our luggage before we checked in, since we arrived early. The breakfast was excellent, with many choices. It is easy to walk to the main attractions and historic center from the hotel. We would stay again if in Riga!

I am a regular Ibis fan for its value proposition for solo travelers like me. However, one does expect basic comforts and ambience even from an Ibis property. This one has just 2 positives, convenient location and a vibrant lobby. Rest of it is all downhill. 1. All the rooms have windows that open into a central courtyard. During my 4 days here I was never sure what was going on there but the nosie level day and night was unbearable. One has to leave the windows open since there is no other ventilation or air source in the room. 2. The hotel is built into a very old building, and it shows in various ways with creaking floors, weird hallways, musty smell everywhere. 3. The lighting in the room and in the bathroom is terrible making it impossible to read or do any work or shave. 4. The mattress is one of the worst I have experienced in an Ibis' property. 5. There is no amenity tray in the room, not even a kettle for hot water. 6. The shower stall is very cramped for a 185cm person like me. There is no space in the sink or shower for personal toilet items. 7. Breakfast is set up in the basement with a strange configuration of passageways and small rooms. The spread itself was one of the worst. One does not expect a gourmet breakfast at an Ibis, but one does expect to have butter, fresh fruits and proper coffee. The coffee machine doled out gutter water worse than the coffee in the USA. 8. The floor hallways have sensor lighting making it eerie to walk to and from the elevator. 9. They still have the gall to offer room cleaning only every 4 days unless you insist on daily cleaning. I would not stay here again.

We had great time at the hotel, while celebrating my husband's birthday betwen two of us. The staff is professional and friendly. The room had a great view, it was warm and smelled good. The only thing that was not exactly to our taste, was the softness of the bed, while we of course understand it is a matter of subjective taste. Was also great to have a small water boiler in the room for making morning coffee. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast lavish. Thank you!

We needed accommodation for one night, close enough to bus station and this hotel looked nice. We arrived from airport by buss No 22, bus stop is not too far from hotel. Building looks ugly from outside, but nice and cozy inside. There was everything in room what you need for 1 night: comfortable double bed, large flat TV, water kettle with coffee and minibar. Our room had very small window. We missed more hangers, there was only 2 pieces. Unfortunately floor heating was not in order in bathroom. Breakfast was like in typical 3* hotel, but this hotel has 4*.

We visited Riga and stayed here for 2 nights. I had modest expectations for this hotel given the price. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The staff are extremely friendly, and even remembered me by name which was a very nice personal touch. The reception area is nicely decorated, clean and modern. The room was clean, modern, spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was a little dated, but it was only a minor point. The hair dryer however couldn't blow away a cobweb, so bring your own! Breakfast was included and was very nice. There is a nice buffet selection of hot and cold breakfast items, different fruit and a variety of hot and cold drinks. A small point to note is the hotel is located on the west of the river, which is quite a long way into the old town or Riga city centre. However, there is a tram and a bus stop right outside the hotel, so as long as you don't mind using the public transport in and out of the town centre, you'll be fine. It only takes a few minutes anyway! Check out is at 1200 but they happily obliged when I requested a later one at 1300. I have no complaints about this place and I feel the value for money was justified. I would definitely stay again if I returned to Riga. Well done Bellevue Park!
