Top hotels in Vecdaugava
Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel
Good location to explore old town by foot and easy acces for car transport going to the airport or further. The only thing I didn’t lime is the extra cost to use the pool but it’s seems to be the norm for all the hotels here. The pool is amazing and gym it’s pretty good

Great hotel, location and facilites. Only suggestion is the drain smell in the coridoor but I wonder if thats a Riga issue as it was noticable in a few places.
