Radisson Blu Ridzene Hotel, Riga (Riga, Latvia)

Guests love the hotel's location overlooking Esplanade Park, often commenting that the area is quiet yet very close to the Old Town, Art Nouveau district, and many other tourist attractions. Bars, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance as well. Many appreciate the pleasant view from their rooms and other common areas, including an impressive, panoramic outlook from the saunas!

After a good night's sleep in the very clean, comfortable rooms, many hungry travellers enjoy the wide variety of items available at the breakfast buffet, and often comment on the light, sunny atmosphere created by the restaurant's unique glass pyramid structure.

The reception staff earn many glowing reviews for their friendly, helpful, and professional service, with guests noting that they are pleased to recommend restaurants, book tours, provide directions, and accommodate special requests.

Guests have described the standard rooms as very small, or else a bit over-furnished, leaving too little room for walking around or storing suitcases. Business Class rooms offer a bit more space among their other "extras".

The city view seems to be the best part of the gym, as some fit travellers wish for more space and a greater number of machines. A pool and whirlpool are also on the wish list.

Though well maintained, some travellers find the traditional decor to be too "dated." Also, some "double" rooms feature two single beds pushed together, resulting in an uncomfortable dip or gap in the centre.
