I went here for a weekend with a group of friends. It's only a 15 minute walk to town, but it feels like a lot when you don't have much time and want to get the most out of Riga. The area around is very calm and there is not much to see.
The staff was polite, but nothing more.
I stayed at a superior room: It was large, clean and classy, but it smelled like cigarettes, which ruined a lot.
All in all, an OK hotel that gives great value but delivers nothing outstading
