Top hotels in Maskavas Forstate
Hanza Hotel
Great stay at the hanza just a 5 minute walk from the bus station, only 15 minutes max to the centre. Hotel room was spacious and clean, a little dated but completely fine. Breakfast was a bonus ontop of the already great price for the hotel, couldnt recommend enough. Staff are also very helpful ...

Dodo Hotel
Good value for money hotel. It was basic but rooms were clean. It is in a bit of a run down area with only 1 small shop nearby but the tram into the city centre stops right outside. Be warned there is no lift and there are 4 floors.

Urban Van Glamping Riga
City Westa Hotel
Greatest advantage of this accomodations is that is located close to bus, train station and central market. Room was clean, comfy and personal was nice and helpful. Everything was OK and there is not much can be said about any negatives, maybe that some guests are little bit noisy.
