Hotel de Rome
Only complaint is that you're right on the main stip. Great location, but at 5am, it gets annoying b/c there are still drunks running around yelling. We were on the 4th floor and needed earplugs. otherwise, i'd recommend this to anyone....More

Dodo Hotel
The location is the major issue here - it's 15 mins by trolley (public transportation) or a 15 to 20 min walk from the bus/rail station area of Riga. While the area you walk thru to this hotel is rundown - we walked morning and evning to and from hotel to Riga center. Never felt an issue. Near to hotel is a good sized shopping center with grocery/suppermarket and a couple places to eat - it's the opposite direction from Riga center. We would stay at the Dodo again if we were in Riga again. As people indicated - the taxi's do rip you off - even if you make sure they set the meter correclty - they somehow managed to double the amount....More

Hotel Riga
Commentary: This is NOT a four-star hotel and it's a bit overpriced for the quality of room and service. Great location. I recommend it for short stays of no more than two nights. Definitely not the place to stay if you're on business. There is no good place to work on a computer and you'll definitely loose sleep due to the combination of no A/C and outside noise. DON'T STAY HERE IF YOU WANT INTERNET. A few details: Good Points? + Great location! 2-minute walk to everything. Post office directly across the street. Dozens of taxis waiting out front. ATMs right out the door. Opera House across the parking lot. + Beautiful view! + Extremely helpful Tourist Information desk?perhaps the most helpful I've recently experienced. + Good room security to the hallway, but not so good by the window. + Classic, beautiful building with wide hallways and staircases. Historical Soviet-era structure with a bit of class. Not the typical communist architectural garbage. Not-so-good Points? + Poor attention to detail all around. Bathroom floor dirty around the toilet. Television in disrepair with poor reception on many channels. Only one towel, one wash cloth, and one floor mat. Motel 6-like soap, shampoo amenities in the shower. + No in-room internet. Wireless internet was very expensive and only available in the lobby lounge. One had to work on ones computer while breathing cigarette smoke and listening to a recorded loop of Madonna and Pet Shop Boys music. (I like both groups but not while I'm working.) + Most front desk staff were completely void of personality and emotion. Always chatting with other staff members or talking on their mobile phones. When checking out the woman looked at me with a blank expression and said "Do you want receipt?" + Hot, stuffy rooms. No ventilation and NO A/C. + With no A/C and hot sticky weather, one must leave the window open. A ledge connected all of the 4th-floor rooms making it very easy for someone to climb from one room to another. Wi...More
