Europa Royale Riga

Great staff and best access to Rīgā cent

Great hotel with a feeling of another era very close to the old city (10 mins on foot). Plenty of shops , restaurants (see Lido and Hesburger and not only) ,mini-markets real close to hotel. And of course a very clean and peaceful park right across the street. Tram stop next to the hotel. Room (208) was more than spacious in hotel terms, with a high ceiling an excelent view to the park across the hotel. The street outside was busy with trams, cars etc but the double windows made the difference being totally soundproof. Room had all the amenities (slippers, bathrobes , minibar etc). Bath had a bathtub, (how often do u see this in hotels anymore??). Loved the curtains which blocked the daylight in case u want to sleep some more.. Beds had very good matresses and extra pillows in case u need some. Breakfast was very good. A wide variety of food for all tastes. Except perhaps the yoghurt , there wasnt any or at least we didnt find it. Safe parking for your car in case u have one, but better avoid parking it under the trees because there are small drops of tree glue all over the car and while entering the gate be careful if u have a low distance from the ground car, cause there's a metal thing on the ground which keeps the gates locked when closed . Staff was more than polite and helpful always with a smile on their face. Excellent indeed. An asset was that we got a smokers room upon our request months earlier. Thank you guys. All in all its a great place to stay in Riga, owners did an excellent job keeping the old and romantic character of this old building while not compromising in amenities and modern equipment. Definately suggest it.

TV could have more channels, there were a few only. There was a not so pleasant odor from time to time , from place to place either in room or in hotel hallways. Maybe it was the carpet or the drain system, not sure about it.

A classic 4* hotel in the historic centre of Riga just next to the Old Town and other places of interest. Railway and bus stations are both within walking distance. Rooms comfortable and air-conditioned (not ubiquitous for Riga). Staff very friendly.

Megija is the best receptionist EVER
