HOTEL EDVARDS — Hotel 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...

This hotel is a lovely small family run hotel. The staff were so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I travelled with my 2 sisters on a city break and this hotel was about a 10 min walk from the city centre, perfect location. |The breakfast was a really nice continental breakfast with a mix of traditional Latvian food and breakfast cereals/toast. |The staff offered us tea/coffee on our return to the hotel at night, they were very kind. |Our flight was quite late at night so we were allowed leave our bags there post check out for the day until we returned back that evening to go to the airport. The only negative I have really is that the rooms are very small (we had a twin room and a single) this was grand for us but I could see how some might find it difficult with the...

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...
