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
