Straupe Vacations from $768

The hotel's location is its biggest advantage. It's a good choice for a short city break, as you get what you pay for. The train station and most of the main tourist attractions are within a 15-20 minute walk. However, the hotel is in desperate need of renovation. The rooms and the overall atmosphere feel like stepping back 30 years. The bed was a little squeaky, but it didn't affect my sleep. I appreciated that the room included all the basic amenities, such as toiletries, a shoe brush and shoehorn, a shower cap, a comb, soap, as well as clean towels and fresh bed linen. Overall, I wouldn't rate this hotel higher than 3 out of 5 stars. The excellent location makes up for many of its shortcomings, but if you're looking for modern facilities and comfort, this may not be the best choice.

In a perfect location our room was spacious, clean, comfortable & quiet. For a hotel on a budget it was excellent value for money. If I were to return I would definitely stay here. The entrance was very welcoming, and although our room was a little dated it was perfect and clean for our stay. There was water in the room, soap in the bathroom and a hairdryer available too. There is luggage storage and although we didn’t see any members of staff, they weren’t needed as the instructions were very clear.

Apartment was in a great location, and access was very easy. I thought the instruction video was a great touch. Very modern and had everything you needed.

Great location near old town Riga.
