Pullman Riga Old Town (Renovated 2025)
Lady on reception amazing. Very friendly. Room superbly clean. Only down side is you face inwards looking at the other rooms but it doesn’t matter much. Breakfast was nice although 25 euros may be a bit expensive. Situation brilliant. In old town easy walking everywhere

Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Daugava Riga
Amazing, recently renovated room with a beautiful view of Riga Old Town and very friendly staff. Breakfast could be improved - it felt disorganized, with queues for coffee, empty food trays and a limited selection. Also, additional parking charges weren’t clearly communicated.
