A1 Hotel City Center

Absolutely avoid this hotel.

My stay was a nightmare. A male guest harassed me and other women, trying to force his way into my room at 3 AM. This occurred while I was inside sleeping! I I immediately contacted the hotel reception for assistance. Unfortunately, the receptionist was unable to provide any meaningful help. I had to call the police later to ensure my safety. The perpetrator was making disturbing remarks to the police officers that I called, about hearing male voices inside. Additionally, despite the hotel prominently advertising 24/7 camera surveillance, I was informed that the cameras were not functioning. The hotel's response? Absolutely appalling. The manager stated that they could only remove the guest if he voluntarily agreed to leave!!! The alternative offered was simply to move the guest to a different floor, a solution that does nothing to address the core issue of his threatening behavior. Luckily he accepted!
To add insult to injury, the hotel offered no form of apology or compensation for this distressing experience.

The thin walls of the room only increased my anxiety, as every small sound from outside reminded me of the attempted intrusion. This hotel clearly doesn't care about its guests' safety. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away.

I definitely do not recommend this hotel! For this price you can find so much better accomodation. Please pay attention to room which you book, when we entered our room it was completely different than on the photos from Booking especially the bathroom. What is more on our last day we couldn’t get any sleep because for a whole night every hour or half an hour we heard a very loud alarm. When I couldn’t stand it anymore and called receptionist it turned out that fire alarm was broken and they were trying to fix it and suddenly after my phone call it got fixed AT 4AM, what a coincidence :), after our talk with the receptionist the next morning hotel wasn’t going to make any amends for this sleepless night.

I don’t know what other options are in Riga but I would never stay here again. This hotel has almost nothing to recommend. It is clean. The hotel is old. You can’t even drink the tap water. The internet service in the room is basically non existent. There are no closets i or draws to store your luggage. Btw there is also no elevator. I was not expecting a luxury hotel at this price but neither was I expecting a substandard one.
