9.2/10 Wonderful! (541 reviews)

It was super clean, the staff were fantastic and it was close to some of the main sites in the old town. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was great. Whilst I understand that you are in a city and you should expect noise, it was extremely loud even with the windows closed until all hours. It made relaxing difficult. The windows aren't soundproof. If they were, this hotel would be 5⭐ I appreciate that's not the hotels fault but it was part our my experience.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)

My wife and I had a terrific stay at the historical Hotel Justus, a bit due to its short walking distance to All of the vibrant Old Town Riga and Central Market, but mainly the amenities, ambience and the Caring staff, in particular, Irina at the reception, who from the moment we walked in til check-out met our needs from any info to room extras. (She's a keeper for sure, if we're the owners.) We'll definitely stay here if we're in town again, God-willing!
