Just prior to Christmas my wife and I spent a long weekend at the Hilton garden Inn in Riga city centre.
The hotel is in the historic old town and the location just could not be better for anyone visiting Riga. The historic town with all its sights and everywhere you want to visit was literally on the doorstep.
The hotel was modern, rooms very good, extremely clean, Wi-Fi excellent and we would give it a 5 star review.
We had a great stay and would certainly have the hotel as our first choice if we ever return to Riga.
What is worthy of special note is the staff, we stay a lot in hotels and in most cases the staff are very good, in this hotel they were exceptional, especially Martina Korzane-Markevica who was helping out on reception. She is the hotel food and beverage manager but due to covid the restaurant was only open for breakfast.
Martina could not have been more helpful. On one occasion we needed to find a place to take a covid antigen test (lateral flow test). Martina found out where they were doing them locally, made the appointment for us, gave us a route map to walk to the clinic, gave me a photo of the outside of the clinic so that I would recognise its entrance (which was at the back of an office block). Martina also gave me her telephone number and although it was her day off at the time of our appointment she asked me to call her to let her know that everything went all right. Everything went smoothly and a big thank you to Martina.
Riga is a beautiful
