Guesthouse Airava — Hotel in Jūrmala

Our second stay here, and I'd choose it again. Exactly as described, it is simple to boot, but super clean, tidy, and functional. Think a hostel with shared bathroom, common showers, and a shared kitchen, only in a huge light and bright building, with massive clean rooms. Rooms are ascetic but ornate at the same time - there is single beds for as many people as you have I'm the room (doubles or triples), a little side table and a chair for each, a simple desk and a closet. Sheets and a towel are provided. The rooms were majorly renovated during covid, so the paint is fresh and the mattresses are totally fine. In the kitchen there's two small fridges, two single burner stoves, a kettle, a sink, and also a bunch of plates/cups/cutlery. The property is large, with srveral plastic outdoor tables/chairs set up for common use. There's parking for tens of cars, and the owners never object to you leaving a car there before and after check-in, as everyone is spending the days on the beach anyway. The location couldn't be better, steps off the main strip (Jomas street) with shops and restaurants, and two grocery stores accross the street. It's also 5min away from Majori train station, for an easy ride to Riga. Basically, I love the place. My only, really, only complaint is a complete lack of wifi on the second floor. At first thought there was some, but nope, none. For someone with a local data plan it wouldn't be a problem, for others without it, you basically have to go downstairs to the common room or just hallways to connect. Nowadays, very, very annoying and frankly unacceptable. We had one room on the first floor and two on the second, and the first floor next to the router worked fine. So: request a room on the 1st floor and enjoy your stay! Also, note that the bathrooms are on the 1st floor only, so 2nd floor would be hard for anyone with walking issues. Will stay there again, and...

Seemed to me this hotel was built many decades ago and stayed there untouched like that. We had two separate beds, on the walls 4 kinds of wallpapers, old squeeky beds, window that was hard to close and electricity we were afraid to use. Though it was some kind of funny experience relive thos old soviet times. We took it like that. There was no trash bin on the room. Wifi worked but not so good, landlady said, it works best downstairs in the "lobby". Well...lobby? :-) Sheets clean, room clean. Showers seemed clean. Toilet is outside, clean but also very "stylish". We had one night, that is enough I guess. We heard from time to time some guests, but nothing bad. We enjoyed at as sleeping...

Good location – in a city center, the main street Jomas is in a few steps. The guesthouse consists of few wooden buildings.They have their charm, like many of Jurmalas wooden houses. ||The rooms were small and very simple, a little bit outdated. It was noticeable that it is an old building, showers not very inviting. ||However, bedding was clean, there is a kitchen in the building, a few tables outside, we have not noticed any...
