Super helpful staff, convenient walkable location in Old Town, but still close to transport hubs (tram, airport bus.) My room had an HVAC unit which was a great bonus. Very close to bars/shops/restaurants but still lovely quiet location.

Lovely apartment in Riga Old Town, with shops, cafes and bars nearby. Good facilities, only complaint was the bed was so big we couldn't get in from the side, so had to clamber over from the end.

Easy parking. The walls go on forever around the biggest fortress in Europe but it wasn't captivating. I'd don't go too far out of your way to make a visit
