Jūrnieks, viesnīca — Hotel in Riga

This is an excellent hotel. The people working in the hotel may not look that friendly at first sight, kind of Soviet style, but after a while you see that they are really nice. This applies to the reception, breakfast people and the cleaners. The breakfast in buffet form was excellent. Tasty fruitjuice, sausages, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, cornflakes, fresh coffee, and much more. In the reception area is a nice television room/ common area, where it is nice to do some computer work or read the maps and brochures about Riga. The hotel is a bit far from the center, but easily reached with the tram. The quality of the bed and shower was excellent. The wifi was very fast and reliable. I had some problems connecting my laptop to the wifi, but the reception lady gave me an easy to follow instruction in paper form.||things that could be improved,||the shades of the room did not close completely. It gives a bit less privacy. ||there was not a chair in the room (but there were comfortable chairs downstairs in the common arae)||Thank you for my excellent...

This place is still in the long past communist era. ||The reception ask you to fill in alien form and to leave the keys at the reception as you leave the room during the day. It is allowed to smoke in the room. We also had to pay beforehand. Furthermore the recpetionist gave us remotes to the tv and voucher for breakfast. ||||The room was small, the wardrobe door broken. In the batroom there was no shelf and there were only two hangres while we had 4 towels in total. What we were supposed to do with them?||||At breakfast we were surprised wirth lack of buffet. Instead we could choose from three sets. I donated half of my breakfast to my boyfriend so we were ok, but the portions were not very big.||It was ok for just one night stay like ours, just a place to crash, but I would not like to stay...

Sorry to say but I wouldn't stay here again. I really don't like leaving bad comments and I do understand that it's a very cheap hotel but that doesn't make up for cleanliness, the bathroom was filthy, the shower was broken and flooded the floor. TV with no remote!!! The only saving grace was that they gave us keys to three other rooms for us to look at and pick which one we thought was suitable, we did that but asked for the floor to be washed first. One more thing is that it isn't as close to the centre of Riga as it made out. Thank goodness we're only staying three nights before we move onto Tallinn!!! I forgot to mention that there is no power points to plug anything in apart for one in the bathroom. That'll be why there's no bedside...
