Top Riga Hotel Reviews

Pullman Riga Old Town (Renovated 2025)

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel with perfect old town location. We will definitely be back"

Neiburgs Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From the outside to the inside this hotel oozes style. The facade of the building is exquisite and the interior very cool and sophisticated. We were welcomed at check in and having had an early morning flight it was a welcome change to be offered access to our room immediately. Also, a total surprise we were offered a complimentary upgrade to a duplex apartment, it was amazing! So spacious. An entrance way with a wardrobe for coats shoes and a safe opened onto a kitchen, dining and living open plan area on the ground floor, it also had a downstairs loo. The kitchen had a lavazza coffee machine, hob, fridge and a microwave, complimentary bottled water(replenished daily) plus complimentary tea, coffee, milk and sugar. The wooden stairs led to a large bedroom area with wardrobe, kingsize bed and a spacious bathroom with underfloor heating, shower over a roll top bath, plus a large sink area with plenty of room to store toiletries. Towels were large and soft and complimentary slippers and dressing gowns were also provided. There was also a little snug area with a pitched roof containing a bean bag and lamp off the bedroom with two skylights. Breakfast was wonderful, hot and cold options all of a high standard and the service by the friendly staff was exemplary. They have a Michelin star restaurant onsite too. A truly exceptional family owned hotel, we enjoyed our stay very much and wouldn’t hesitate to return."

Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is modern and nice. It’s open glass architecture lets light come in and it’s very inviting. The location is fantastic. One can walk to many sites from that location. The rooms are spacious and well designed. The value one receives for the price in an amazing city was worth the money."

Konventa Sēta Hotel - Keystone Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. We picked this up at an incredible price, and whilst the usual price would be considered expensive for Riga, I’d have paid it. Well presented, comfortable, perfectly located. The restaurant also had one of the best craft beer selections in Riga. Highly recommended."

Hanza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel in a very central location. The staff were very polite and helpful. The breakfast was excellent, with various options available. The pub and restaurant was pleasant and the meals that I ate there were to a very high standard. The room was fine, though a little tired and in need of an update. Shout out to Viktoria, who was super nice & never seemed to stop working!!"

Opera Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was perfect, from the warm welcome to the comfortable and clean rooms. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The atmosphere was lovely, and everything was well taken care of. We truly enjoyed our time here and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing and pleasant stay. We would definitely love to come back! 😊"
