Riga Hotel Deals
Hampton By Hilton Riga Airport
Hampton By Hilton Riga Airport"This was our last night in Latvia and we booked this hotel due to its proximity to the airport. The bus stop that takes you to the airport is 1 minute walk away, the journey at 05.13 takes 4-5 mins. We stayed at various hotels prior to this as we visited 4 countries in 10 days (I know 😅) and this was by far the cleanest place with that crisp bedding feeling you want in your hotel, pristine shower and just that vibe of: I’m in a great place. The only downside was the breakfast as it offers...

Konventa Sēta Hotel Keystone Collection"Excellent hotel in a great location in Old Town Riga"
"Every thing was ok just breakfast was different from uk"
"The air-conditioning was at par. The room was clean and towels changed everyday. Location was amazing Staff is helpful Breakfast was really below par. Looked as if everything was opened from a can, tin or packet. Nothing seemed fresh and probably wasn’t. The yogurt was pink and apparently fruit (but that pink colour is not anything but color and flavouring!) when asked they didn’t have natural. It was exactly the same each day."
Hilton Garden Inn Riga Old Town
Hilton Garden Inn Riga Old Town
"The room had a very strong smell like carpet that hasn't been washed in a long time. They denied a room change and just applied some odor spray to the carpet and opened windows. Breakfast was not bad but it might just not be worth it. Definitely staying somewhere else next time"
