Baltic Beach Hotel and SPA Luxury - Jurmala

The staff was great. I rate the upkeep due to the older portions of the hotel and as a 5 star hotel it should not have rundown areas. A great hotel though with some wonderful perks like chip are and location to the main thoroughfare and train station

We stayed twice and will be back again. The superior rooms have a separate bedroom for a child, which is a big plus . The swimming pool is quite big and water is very clean.

Not worth the money, Sure it's a really interesting building inspired by Soviet taste. But this hotel is living on borrowed time. We booked the "5 star" standard room with "ocean views" and at first site it was ok. The wooden floor boards were stained with scuffed markings as well as being sandy as if someone had just come back from the beach and […] walked all around the room with their bare feet. Obviously not vacuumed properly. The wooden floors are a plus for allergy sufferers but it means that anyone walking around in the room above you would keep you from sleeping. The sound travels through the floors. This hotel really caters for the Russian tourist more than anything. It feels back dated in its decorations and designs. Not sure if this is intentional to keep with the Soviet themed architecture. Staff were pretty friendly and smiley. Read more

Horrible! Booked 2 Amber Standard Double/Twin 5 Star - Sea View, but got last room at the back of the 4th floor overlooking the roof! Had to step out into the balcony and strained my neck to see the beach! My friends' room on the 6th floor, was in the middle of the floor also overlooking the roof! Our hotel reservations (both rooms next to each other […] or on the same floor with SEA VIEW was also confirmed via email by a hotel employee who no longer worked there when we checked in). My friend's wife booked a Spa Package but did not get all that she signed up for. She had to go to the Hair Salon and pay to have her hair done herself. Stay away from this hotel. The rooms that they advertise is not what you get! Read more

This hotel is maximum 3 star rating. The room is 15m2 in a very bad condition. The hotel personnel is not nice with customers. You will not be allowed to use gym, if you come after 9PM, therefore it works till 10PM etc... Security at the gate is not nice with customers ... etc... etc...

There is no WiFi connection in the room, which is a real serious turn down for a business traveler like me! You got to the lobby bar to get a decent WiFi connection! Expedia didn't say it; it says Wireless internet in the rooms!!!!!!!!!!! Poor small 16inch TV in the room. I liked the balcony though!

It was great experience!!! The view to the Baltic beach was superb I advice everyone to have it try ;)

Overall, the hotel itself was very nice, great location on the Baltic shores, lots of restaurants in nearby walking distance to Jurmala. Great views of the sunrise and sunsets atop their Italian restaurant. The room itself (west wing portion of the hotel), in the room number 270 range was horrible. The bed was so low to the ground and very uncomfortable. […] I had a sore back prior to this trip, and out of 3 hotels we stayed at during this trip, this bed was the worse. The bed at the Hotel Mara - Best Western by Riga RIX airport had better beds! No beach towel service available, and they did not allow you to use their bathroom towels. Their hookah lounge inside (open to 6:00AM) was quite nice. Security seemed extremely tight. If you were up in the middle of the night, or wee early to watch the sunrise, seemed their security guards were immediately aware of this, and would ask if you are a guest of their hotel. Yes, I am up here to photograph the sunrise. Lots of security cameras everywhere. Read more

The hoel has a fantastic location and most rooms have great sea views from windows & balconies.The entrance area has had an upgrade since we last stayed 2 years ago & it looks great. The service on reception & elsewhere is excellent (including finding my glasses after i thought I'd lost them - diving into the pool apparently. The pool was as good as […] ever & not too crowded when we used it (but avoid Sundays) & the sauna was as hot as ever, I'm pleased to say. We tried a sample visit to "the Garden" & found that very good value for money. The 2 main restaurants provide a good service, though the "Caviar Club" doesn't really offer a vegetarian menu & on the evening we went "Il Sole" was closing and we weren't offered a desert. However the Lobby Bar seems to stay open beyond the advertised hours and the staff there are exceptional. The "Kaljans Bar" tends to be too quiet during the week - often there's no-one there. (We still regret the replacement of the previous crystal bar!) The choice of food & opening times for breakfast are unparalleled in my experience. We#ve now stayed 4 times and will be booking again. And I should mention the wonderful beach right outside the hotel & the main street in Jurmala - Jomas iela - where there is an excellent choice of places to eat. Though some words of Latvian are helpful, all staff seem to speak English. Read more

Hotel is right next to miles of sandy beach. we walked and paddled in the sea on our first night. The Hotel was very smart. The Breakfast and service was wonderful.

Enjoyed it so much that we would definately go back. The facilities are awesome and the breakfast is to die for!!! The location is excellent.

We had 3 nights in this hotel, it has a nice private beach with attendants providing beds and towels, you need to give them the 'beach card' which the reception will give you upon check-in. There is a large marquee on the beach selling drinks and food. We didn't eat at the restaurant, choosing to eat at one of the many restaurants on the main strip […] each evening. Breakfast is included and 'you name it they have it!' everything from smoked salmon to porridge. The service is excellent. Read more

Baltic Beach Hotel is not a real 5 star hotel. I have no idea, why they call it 5 star. Extremely polite personnel, very good service but in mean time small rooms, which I cannot call 5 star. If you take room with "Sea view" most probably you don't get it, you can see it from the balcony but not from the room. Rooms located at 90 degrees to the coast […] line. Free internet, gym and swimming pool. Swimming hat compulsory, but you can buy it in the hotel. Looks like that all rooms have a balcony where you can smoke or just spend a good time if weather permits. In general my conclusion is that the hotel is overpriced. If you are looking for a hotel on the bank of the sea, with very polite personnel, I can recommend it, but you must keep in mind that quality of rooms and interior will disappoint you if you know what means real 5 stars. You can have a very good time in this hotel but you will pay for it too much. Read more

Very good location near the sea shore. Service is good one. Special thanks to the staff of the whole spa zone. Good place to forget about the noise of the megapolis. The air to breath is something special.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

On average the hotel is great : clean, friendly and helpful personnel, good breakfast,... But I strongly advise you to take a room with sea view, the other rooms do not offer the possibility to connect wireless! For the price you pay you should at least get a possibility to connect from your room even a pay connection. The view is really nice from the […] balcony in the 5 star room. The extensive spa and gym facilities are also great! Definitely try to Bagna (not included in the room price)! One last thing I found the beds too hard. Read more

The hotel has a bad cuality roons for a five Starts. That was little and cheap´s forniture. The pool is very very old and you need use a cap. The breakfast is great and the View perfect. In general I expected more from that hotel.

This hotel was situated right on the beach and had some fantastic facilities. It was a family friendly hotel and I would definately reccommend it to those with small children. It was exactly as advertised, a 5* hotel although our room was definately only 3* and could really have benefitted from a lick of paint. All in all I would definately return to […] this hotel.

Amber rooms that we stayed in were spacious and nicely furnished. The hotel is in a great location right on the beach and what a beach! Lovely sand and the baltic sea is suprisingly very warm (we visited in July 2011). The hotel provides complimentary sunloungers and towels which were a nice touch. The spa in the hotel was wonderful and very reasonably […] price, the children could even have a massage at a very good rate. It is a big spa with plenty of staff - so no problems with appointments or reserving in advance. There is also an indoor swimming pool which is free and great for when there is a bit of rain. We were there for 14 days and had a very enjoyable time. The main tourists are Russia (probably about 80%) and the rest are Latvians. The ambience is very nice, relaxed and quiet. It feels a million miles away from most of Europe's main resorts and certainly there is no specific catering to cater for a home away from home for other countries - which made for a great change. We'll certainly be going back to Jurmala and loved our stay in the Baltic Beach which although it was expensive was definitely worth the price. If you wanted a week of spa pampering - this would be the place to go. It definitely caters well to familys, couples, people wishing to relax. Not the place to go for getting drunk and going to nightclubs! We'd also like to come back in the winter, it seems that a lot of people come to see the sea with the ice in it... Definitely will be returning. Read more

Vi bestilte rom av "økonomikategori" noe som viste seg å være en stor tabbe. Vi ble vist til den del av bygget som ikke så ut til å være oppusset de siste 30-40 årene. Rommet hadde 70-tallsfarger og møbler, et teppe som ikke så ut til å være renset i løpet av de siste årene og en seng som var så hard at jeg knapt nok sov i løpet av de tre nettene vi […] bodde på hotellet. Da vi skulle spise frokost ble vi segregert mellom de som hadde "billigrom" og de andre. Frokosten var god, men det føltes nedverdigende å bli delt i ulike klasser på denne måten. Bildene og beskrivelsen av økonomirommene på hotels.com og hotellets nettside representerer overhodet ikke virkeligheten. Resten av tjenestene på hotellet som SPA og restaurant var svært bra. Jeg kommer gjerne tilbake men aldri på økonomirom! Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

vi ankom og de fant ikke våres bestilling, måtte vente litt på dette, helt ok men da vi fikk rommet var vel så og si alt i gammel stil og kun baderommet var blitt pusset opp men det var ikke rent der. Teppet var gammelt og vaskingen var gjort på 5 minutt var dag! Tv viste kun latvisk og tysk og da vi faktisk betalte for at få de andre kanalene var der […] kun 2 kanaler med 2 filmer som var på engelsk! Utsiden av hotellet er gammelt og trenger mye jobb. Beliggenheten ved stranden er et stort pluss og håper virkelig dette er bedre om sommeren. Ingenting er inkludert når det kommer til spa behandlinger (ikke ens ansiktsmaske). Da dette skal vare et 5 stjerner spa hotell var det veldig skuffende da alt vi fikk var bad i en 25 meters ekkel basseng som ikke blitt skiftet vann på og vasket på lenge og en sauna i samme standard og ekkelt luktet det garderoben. Det eneste positive på hele hotellet er resturang Caviar Club der vi fikk utsøkt mat. Servicen i lobby baren var dårlig og den personen som løp mellom den og avdelningen i neste etage hade nok at gjøre og serverte mange vannpiper som tok opp mye tid. Roomservice var greit og noen ting gjorde oss optimistiske en gang i blant men ops neste stund var vi åter igjen skuffet på noe annet. Menneskerne her virket plaget av at måtte smile og de klarte nesten ikke at snakke engelsk. Vil også nevne at man bør kun dra hit i helger siden det ikke er liv etter kl 9. Jamas street er fin men pass opp før resturanger av veldig forskillige standar. Read more

Et meget bra hotell med fine spa muligheter og høy standard. Maten var langt over forventning, og servert og presentert på en meget god måte. Dersom man ikke skal benytte seg av spa programmet men heller ønsker mest mulig opphold i Riga sentrum, er det litt for langt unna byen (15 min med taxi) til at jeg vil anbefale hotellet. Deler av hotellet er […] noe gammeldags og slitt men alt er rent og ryddig. Fantastisk utsikt mot havet med kilometervis nydelig hvit sandstrand. Read more

Vi var 4 damer på tur. Mottagelsen var en kjekk ung mann som tok imot baggasjen vår. Veldig positivt!! Men vi blr litt skuffet da vi fikk et rom i underetasjen, med en dobbelseng og 2 felt senger (og alt for lite til alle oss 4). Men det var ingen problem å få oppgradert rommet mot et lite tillegg i prisen. Da fikk vi et rom i 7.etasje, med stue og […] soverom. Herlig.. Vi var heldig for det var lite folk på hotellet!! Vi hadde bestillt spa-behandlinger før vi kom. Vi ville forandre på noe og det var ikke noe problem. Veldig god service og Veldig bra engelsk kunnskaper blant de ansatte. God frokost, lunsj og middag. Kjempe flott strand - Jurmalla beach. Kort avstand til toget som tok oss til Riga - brukte ca 30 minutter. Enkelt å få taxi. Read more

Hotellet sto til over våre forventninger. Vi reiste i oktober måned, utenfor høysesong. Det var stille, aldri kø eller "for mange mennesker". Personalet var behjelpelig og ytte god service. Engelskferdighetene deres var tilfredsstillende, men det virket som om begrensningen i språket noen ganger gjorde fremtoningen litt uhøflig. Det beste med oppholdet […] var maten. Hotellet hadde to restauranter (pluss frokostsal, variert buffet), én med italiensk preg og én med internasjonal/russisk profil. Begge serverte flotte retter av høy kvalitet, det vil si på nivå med de beste restauranter i Oslo, for eksempel. Prisen på de fleste retter lå på 3-11 LVL per rett. Spa-delen viste seg å være Europas største senter for dette. Vi prøvde flere behandlinger hver og vi var alltid fornøyd. Men (selvsagt) de yngste og flotteste jentene sto i resepsjonen og frontet tilbudene og forvaltet bestllinger, mens de eldre stort sett utførte selve behandlingene. Det fantes også 25m innendørs sv.basseng, flott til å trene i, styrkerom med greit utvalg av apparater, benker og manualer, og flere mil lang løpbar strandlinje med god sand. Hotellet hadde tre nivå av rom: 3-, 4-, og 5-stjerners. Dette gjenspeilte kun kvaliteten på rommet, og om man hadde utsikt/balkong. Alle fasiliteter så ut til å være tilgjengelig for alle uansett. Hotellet lå under 20min fra flyplassen i Riga, og det kostet 20 LVL med hotellets taxi, 14 LVL med "baltictaxi". Flyplassen var liten og effektiv. Dette var mye kvalitet for pengene. Read more

Vi var flere som reiste sammen, og to av oss bestilte et rom hver via Expedias nettsider. Da vi kom frem, viste det seg at det ene rommet trestjernes og det andre firestjernes. Vi hadde bestilt samtidig og betalt samme pris for rommene. Resepsjonisten ordnet slik at vi fikk to firestjernes rom i nærheten av hverandre. Da det var noe i veien med vannet […] i den delen av hotellet, ble vi oppgradert til fem stjerner senere på dagen. Vi reiste utenom turistsesongen,så det var ikke fullt på hotellet. Maten på hotellet var veldig god, både frokosten og mat i hotellets resteuranter. Spaavdelingen er helt fantastisk!! Vi bestilte transport til flyplassen i resepsjonen, og ble standsmessig hentet til avtalt tid. Alle ansatte vi var i kontakt med var blide, høflige og serviceinnstilte. Dette er mitt andre opphold på dette hotellet, og jeg kommer definitivt til å bo der flere ganger. Hotellet kan absolutt anbefales!! Read more

Hotellin piti täyttää täyden viiden tähden palvelut ,mutta oltiin viidestä tähdestä todella kaukana. Haimme perheen kanssa kylpylä lomaa ja rentoutumista ,mutta hotelli asiakkaiden käytössä oli ainoastaan yksi iso uima allas ja tavallinen sauna, Suomessa uimahallitkin ovat siistempiä ja monipuolisempia. Spa osaston käytöstä olisi pitänyt maksaa erillinen […] maksu ,joka oli aika kohtuuton.Lapsille ei löytynyt mitään virikkeitä ns.sanotun uimahallin puolelta meidän 6 vuotias tytär oli todella pettynyt.Odotukset hotelli huoneesta olivat korkealla kun otimme kuitenkin hotellin parhaasta päästä olevan huoneen ,mutta voin sanoa ,että suomessa huone täyttää hädin tuskin kolmen tähden tasoa.

Våre forventninger ut fra bilder og beskrivelser av hotellet og ant stjerner, viste seg å være helt galt. Størrelse og rommets komfort er det enkleste vi noen gang har overnattet i.

Vi ble lagt til et rom i en annen eldre fløy som ikke lenger kvalifiser til stjerner. […] Hele hotellet bar preg av alder vær og vind, omringet av nedlagte/utbrendte hotell.
