愛德華茲飯店

We stayed for 3 nights at the hotel on our first visit to Riga to see our new granddaughter. We were not expecting a lot for the price but were really pleased with our choice. We experienced a bit of Latvian hospitality in a quiet hotel which is very central and convenient for exploring the city. The local area is quiet and well maintained with plenty of places to eat and have coffee nearby and small grocery shops too. The staff are the best, very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was also good, freshly cooked eggs, a selection of meats and cheese, cereal, juice, fruit, yogurt, cake! and fresh coffee and toast, we really enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend for a short stay in Riga.

We stayed here over the final weekend of the world hockey championships, which lent a real buzz to the city. The hotel is well located within a few minutes' walk of the Art Nouveau center and about 15 minutes from the Freedom Monument and Old Town sites. This is a three-star hotel, so does not have the amenities of many of the local larger hotels. There is no bar or restaurant for example, but there are plenty within walking distance. The rooms are quite basic, but very comfortable. No safe in the room and just soap in the shower (you can get travel sized shampoo and conditioner downstairs). Temperatures were mild when we visited so lack of AC was not a problem, but I can see it could get uncomfortable during the summer. Breakfast downstairs was plentiful. They even had a hot option, but we didn't try that. They'll provide free tea and coffee through the day. Service was very much five-star. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. There was always someone available to deal with requests or questions. Would be more than happy to stay again.
