Rija VEF Hotel with FREE Parking

Generally speaking the location of this hotel is OK. Free parking is a big plus but it will heavily now depend which side of the hotel you get your room. If it is street side then even with closed windows the noise of loud. If its towards the parking side, its quiet as a grave.

Room: Room itself (Confort Double or Twin room) was pretty decent for the price. Air conditioning did not work properly in the room so i had to have a window open (which was towards the street side) so at night time it was a rough sleep. Bathroom was decent aswell tho the bathroom tiles were not that clean.

Overall: You get what you paid for but the rooms definetly need some renovation

Breakfast: Very small selection but you get what you paid for. So for this hotel it was good. Queues were very long (does not matter what time you went there) so there was hardly any sitting area available.

Dinner: Restoraunt is open only on specific dates which i found out at the hotel, so can't comment much about that food. I did not find any info on their website about the restoraunt

Parking: There were parking spots available when i arrived but during other days parking was relatively full and some parked even on spots that were ment for bus. No complains there at all.

Decorated an event in the hotel's restaurant, the staff was super nice and the coffee was tasty as well. Location is great, too.

The staff were extraordinarily nice and helpful ! But Roza (the dark hair lady with glasses ) went above and beyond.. thank u guys for making my business trip enjoyable and I got glimpse of the welcoming culture of Latvia 🇱🇻❤️

Cheap and cheerful kind of place. For the price you pay, most things are better than expected.
On the downside, the rooms are quite dated, bit of funky smell (carpets?) and noise insulation is poor - can easily hear conversations from other rooms.

On the positives:
- breakfast is good
- decent size room, with amenities you would find in 4****/business hotels
- smiling, helpful, cheerful reception staff
- very convenient location, lots of public transport available to go to the center/sea in 15-20 minutes
- large size bed with decent mattress

Fine hotel, everything is a bit dated but in good condition. The hallways and rooms smell strongly after cheap cleaner though.

Very lovely and friendly reception boys and girls. They can communicate in English very well. After we booked twice for the same time due to a technical glitch with Booking, they were very helpful and resolved the issue.
The breakfast was very good. The parking behind the hotel was very safe. There is a tram to the old town of Riga right outside the hotel. Just buy the ticket and you can avoid the expensive parking fee in the crowded old town.
I would recommend this hotel to others.

Nice hotel with great staff.
Rooms were nice and food was excelent. Big terrace is fantastic! In front of hotel are trams and bus so you can go city center in 20 minutes.

As a 3 star hotel, it met the expectations. It is clean, staff is polite and helpful.
