Right in the old town, bit of noise from revellers on their way home but not a big issue. Simple but stylish with really nice and helpful staff. Would stay again.

The decor was superb in the breakfast and lounge area. Very up to date. Our bedroom decor was fine. Lovely bathroom and shower - newly decorated I think. Staff equally were lovely. Great location - 10 mins walk from the coach station. We used Lux coaches from Tallinn to Riga which I would also highly recommend. Breakfast was fine. The only slight negative was the noise level from the street. If you are bothered by noise which we usually are then this could be an issue. However, everything else about the hotel was so good that we were willing to overlook this.

This hotel is very conveniently located in the Old Town with restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The staff were very friendly and helpful, breakfast was tasty and plentiful and our room was very clean. The only issue was that there was quite alot of noise from the street during the night, but we were still pleased we chose this lovely small hotel.

A good reason to visit Riga again.
The new management could not be better, Viktor and Ines provide a unique experience that makes you feel at home. A beautiful 1782 building with all the modern commodities to really enjoy the stay, it's definitely worth to book an extra day in Riga just to spend it in the hotel with them because they really look after you.

Basic hotel
Basic hotel in great location. Expected more for our money there were 3 of us and I expected 3 beds but only got 2 and a poor sofa bed. Shower was shocking you had to hold it as you couldn't get washed under it. Thankfully we were only there for one night and arrived late and left early which made it almost bearable don't think I'd have wanted to stay longer

Perfectly located for exploring the old town
Very friendly staff. Ideally situated in the middle of the old town (which, in all fairness is very small), near the main bus stop. A small but comfortable hotel, the breakfast isn't the greatest but there's a fair variety and it's very good given the price of the room which are neatly decorated with deep red colours and wonderful high ceilings.

Great location, terrible noise.
Pros: In Old Town. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Good service. Large,clean room. Cons: Noisy. NOISY! So drunks were yelling and laughing from about 0000 to 0600 on Thurs and Fri we stayed. Not the hotels fault, but the windows have no seals. You can see through the frame and feel the air rushing in. The street is small and have a huge echo. This hotel needs to really invest in proper windows and/or seals. Did not get any sleep.

close to site, decent breakfast, noisy area
Hotel Man-Tess is located right near all the main sites. Is was an easy 5 minute walk from the river (bus stop). Staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was filling. The hotel lobby itself was nice, the room nothing special. I noticed a strange smell coming from the bathroom. I wasn't in the room all that much, but had to keep the bathroom door closed and fan running. The windows are old and don't do much to suppress noise, this is unfortunate as the street can get LOUD late night, lots of drunk people walking to/from bars. Wouldn't recommend if you plan to get a good night sleep.

The hotel was extremely friendly, the room was huge, clean, quiet and very comfortable with a big bathroom with bath. Everything was beautifully appointed. It was a little too warm for me, that's my only criticism. But I would most definitely stay here again. The location was very central in the Old Town and this was overall great value for money.

EXCELLENT BOTIQUE HOTEL
The hotel is located just far enough away from the center of Riga to avoid the (often noisy) crowds on the sidewalks, but close enough to be convenient. Staff were universally friendly and helpful. Good wifi; clean rooms; adequate breakfast (after four days, the sameness became depressing, and I am not a fan of pre-prepared scrambled eggs; allowing eggs to be ordered would be a fantastic change). All-in-all, though, it was excellent - and made even better by being reasonably-priced.

Excellent location set in the heart of the old tow
The hotel is a very reasonable price and cannot be beaten for its location in the heart of Old Riga. Staff are pleasant and willing to assist with anything asked of them. the economy rooms are what you need but not much more but then again you do not need to stay indoors in your hotel in Old Riga.

Man-Tess good location/price
We stayed at the Man-Tess in Riga for 6 nights in August. Taxi from the airport was easy after giving the driver the address. (you can take a bus and walk, but you'd need to be good at directions since it's a bit winding in old town.) It was late at night when we arrived, but somebody is on duty 24 hours - the front door is locked at night, but a buzzer alerts the night person to let you in. Good security. There is an elevator so you don't have to carry luggage upstairs. Man-Tess is in Vecriga, the old town. It is close to the canal and the Art Nouveau area of town too. Easy to walk to all the attractions in old town and other areas too. The price is good, breakfast is included and open for a long time every morning. Very good breakfast, coffee made to order. Always cereal, toast, pastries, cheese and meats, fruit, hard boiled eggs. We left and came back, so we experienced two rooms. On the 4th floor, facing the side street rather than the front, we had a nice large room with a comfortable bed and good bathroom, nothing fancy but fine. It was still a bit noisy at night with street noise. The windows open for a breeze - it was hot, but not too hot. When we returned, we stayed in a room on the 2nd floor, facing front. It was smaller, but we hadn't booked it in advance and it was available. The problem with sleeping in front is that the bar down the street is very rowdy at night, all night. Difficult to sleep with noise. Stay on the side if possible.

Comfortable, hospitable, and central
My wife and I stayed at the Mann-Tess three separate times over a period of three weeks as we traveled beyond Riga twice. The staff is very friendly and helpful; the scale of the hotel is intimate and the two rooms that we had were spacious and very comfortable. All things were neat as a pin. The complimentary breakfast was generous with expresso drinks and tea along with typical north central Euro foods (ham, cheese, egg, bread, oatmeal, etc. The price is also reasonable, especially considering the central location in Old Riga. Highly recommended.

We have just stayed at the Mann-Tess and found it to be very comfortable, nice small scale lodging with solid morning light breakfast and very helpful and friendly concierge, wait staff. It is located in the heart of Old Riga. I highly recommend it.

Tired hotel in a lovely city
A rather shabby, tired looking hotel, staff not exactly friendly apart from one young woman who was helpful and smiling! Our bed was very hard and uncomfortable, in a large room with dated decor and soft furnishings, the bathroom was okay but the water could have been hotter. The buffet breakfast was simple but tasty, without a great deal of choice and we were only offered one cup of coffee! The hotel is in a great location in Riga old town, within easy walking distance of just about everything you could want to see or do. The huge downside of this was an extremely noisy local bar, with drinkers sitting outside for the whole of the Saturday night, making no effort to keep the noise down. Sadly, I couldn't recommend this hotel.

I recommend Man-Tess Hotel where I stayed with a friend of mine. the best things about this place is its location. breakfast was OK - not very big choice in comparison with another hotel in Riga where we stayed. the only thing we didn't enjoy much was the decor of rooms - red curtains made us feel strange.

Perfect location and room/price relationship
Hotel is perfect for people who are looking for a cheap hotel in centrum of Riga. The location is perfect if you are open minded for nightlife of pubs and clubs. The rooms are very cozy and personal was also very helpful. And breakfest is also decent! Perfect hotel for young people who love nightlife. In case you like quietness at night, then maybe you shouldn't go there in weekends, because the bars and pubs are very close and streetnoise may come into your bedroom. But that's not too disturbing.

Good value, good location...
It's a very well located hotel right in the centre of Riga. Large room, little old fashion but for the price I can't complain, superb value. Good connection from and to the hotel with the Air Baltic Express bus one can book on line. On concern for some people could be a bit of noise from the street as people going back from the parties but it was a weekend...

Central hotel close to all main attractions
We stayed at this hotel on 1st and 2nd August, 2013. Our decision to book a double room there, was based on the very good (sometimes enthusiastic) comments of customers - in this and other relevant sites - and the reasonable price (booked more than two months in advance). Not that we were disappointed but our experience could be better if the room was larger (we could hardly move between the bed and our baggage) and there was A/C (we had to keep the window open but the noise of the drunken people from the nearby bar did not let us sleep until late or, better, early in the morning). The staff was quite helpful and the breakfast satisfactory, though quite limited - but this is the rule in all Baltic countries.

We found the hotel to be very clean and confortable. Even though it was warm outside it had a fan and windows that would open. The bathroom was a bit larger than normal. We had to leve earily in the morning and the staff was kind enough to get up earily and make us some breakfast before we left.

Not as good as you'd think
The location was good for walks around Riga Old Town but came with a serious downside - street noise. Lots of it! Closing the window made no difference to the overall noise level. So don't expect a good night's sleep if you're there over the weekend in the summer. In addition to that - on the top floor we never had any hot water, even after letting the tap run and then two people taking showers. The floor below us apparently got hot water. The fridge in the room was noisy, very noisy and needed to be unplugged. On the upside - the room was nice, spacious and clean. The breakfast was good and plentiful and the staff was very polite and friendly.

Decent hotel in the center of town
Great location. Quaint rooms, very comfortable bed. For the money I don't think any reasonable person would be disappointed. Breakfast was very nice. Staff pleasant. Don't expect anything fancy and your expectations will be satisfied. I didn't want to rate the hotel lower for something that could be so easily rectified but be aware their idea of a clean shower might be a bit different than yours. There was mold in the corners and the shower track was quite disgusting so check it out and request a cleaning if required other than that we enjoyed our stay. Opt for the double bed not the two twins, the rooms are much nicer.
