Grand Poet Hotel by Semarah
Fabulous time in the snowy beauty of Riga. The hotel was a charming oasis of warmth and hospitality with every creature comfort. The price/value of a perfectly placed hotel in the capital was great value too. Highly recommended.

AC Hotel by Marriott Riga
Very nice, recently renovated hotel in the "restaurant area" of Central Riga. Good eateries all around. The rooms are on the small side for the price, but in general it´s a good hotel and I had a pleasant stay there.
