Rafael Hotel Riga

Hotel

Nice small hotel. Good friendly service!

The lodging house as a lodging-house, amerizhopyh of cattle is not visible. It's a plus.

It was in February, slept in warm clothes. Say it's cold, say nothing. Researchers both, be careful. The room was very spacious.

Not bad. The breakfast was great. Someone was smoking in front of us. From the pros-close to the center. Friendly staff. The linen is very clean as new.

Bad rooms and broken bed.

First, it is about 25min walk to the old town so it is not in a particular good location (be careful, the city center is not the old town where most of the sites are). Second, the reception staff is really friendly and helpful but the facilities are very disappointing. No elevator, Wi-Fi is not stable and slow (it is often not possible to open a webpage so I used a lot my 3g network), poor sound isolation, noisy street and even with the windows closed, I had a hard time to sleep. I asked to change to another room but it was not possible because it is a small hotel and all rooms were full. No blackouts for the curtain so the sunlight always comes to the room. During my half a week stay, the room was not cleaned or remade — there is only 1 cleaning lady and she also makes breakfast so I guess she must be too busy for that… The bed cracks and mattress too soft for me. The shampoo is of poor quality. I wonder how this hotel has been qualified as a 3-stars compared to other 3-stars where i've stayed.

Lamp fell from ceiling. Door knob came off. Curtain holder broke. Coffee machine didn't work.

Not far from center. But not quiet. Poor sound insulation of windows.

Ok hotel for budget travellers. The breakfast available for 5 euros consisted of some kind of potato salad, sausage, salty meat, cheese, lots of cucumber, tomato and light and sour bread, and did not go well with my western tastebuds. The cheese was really good though. The second day was much better with a fried egg, bread, sausage, salami tomato and cucumbers. With a room on the ground floor you will hear everything going on in the reception wery well, as the doors are poorly sound insulated. Rooms are small, but considering the price you wouldn't expect more. The rooms are not cleaned every day, and you won't get fresh towels unless you ask for them. Heating was turned off when we visited in late september, and the room was quite cold, but who wants to hang out in the hotel room anyway? To get to the center of town just maje a right as you exit the hotel, and keep going for 15-20 minutes until you see the stockmanns mall and the bus station. City center and the old town will be on your right. You van also take a cab, 5-7 euros will get you to the old town.

Solid hotel for solid price. In a walking distance to city center (30 min). Room was really really reaaaaally small and the Wi-Fi was on/off depending on logged users.

Helpful staff, everything is quiet, homey, delicious breakfast. And is in the heart!

Loved it. The staff is friendly. Always helped with any questions. Not far from station and old town. Its Parking lot.
