Sesame
Assez éloigné du centre-ville, on peut cependant rapidement s'y rendre grâce aux transports en commun, peu chers en Lettonie. La réservation sur ce site est peu utile, car à mon arrivée, l'hôtel n'avait aucune information de cette réservation et présenter les références n'a servi à rien.

Konventa Sēta Hotel Keystone Collection
The hotel is a collection of buildings. In our case, it implied a short walk outside to get to the restaurant for breakfast or to the reception. And there was no elevator. Minor issues largely outweighed by the spacious room, great location and helpful staff.
