Grand Poet Hotel and Spa by Semarah

Riga City Center Riga|0.28km from Esplanāde
We had the Grand Suite for a bachelorette event on 13th of August, 2023, but the service was truly a disappointment. It all started when at arrival the room was not ready and they mixed up the time of arrival with the time I requested an ice bucket to be brought to the room. Further, I requested a plate to put some snack on but the receptionist confused it with antipasti and after not clarifying this in 2minutes said that this could not be cancelled. The personnel of the hotel is truly a disaster. not client oriented at all! when asked to fix this the guy starts coming at us not in any way in friendly matter that this was our request (when we clearly did not request it). After almost an hour of wait the room was cleaned. I requested a compensation for all this misunderstanding and the receptionist personally came to the Suite and offered a 10% discount for the whole dinner at their restaurant. When we finished the dinner and the bill arrived we were surprised of the fact that no discount was added, the waiter said that there was no information available to him of any discount and that the bill he issued could not be cancelled (at this point we felt that we are treated as complete *****s) however we tried to make an effort and help him solve this whole thing. He tried to offer us a bottle of Prosecco which we kindly refused and basically accepted some cocktails which we did not want. The cherry at the top of this whole stay was when we went out in the evening and asked to send someone to our room to clean the glass from the bathroom floor which was accidentally dropped and the receptionist offered us help in 9am next day…. A 5 star hotel they say… and there were personnel in the hotel… so with galas on the floor of Grand Suit we stayed the night :) When explaining the situation in the morning at the check out and how disappointed we were, the reception said that they understand us and this is unacceptable and they will clarify and call me to resolve this, as we could predict, no form of justification was offered at all…Well, two weeks later and no call whatsoever, should have expected this…

Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga
4.7/542 Reviews
Riga City Center
Although the service staff is really lacking in education and lack of training, the location is definitely not to be said, and the overall facilities are still very good and worth having.
Radisson Blu Elizabete Hotel, Riga
4.5/570 Reviews
Riga City Center
This is such A convenient location in Riga! One can walk to Old Town and other sites. The service is so very accommodating. Breakfast has the European breads and pastries and Western hot eggs and bacon. Don’t confuse this hotel with the other Radisson hotel which is also on Elizabete street, two blocks away. The other property is much larger and accommodates conventions. This Radisson Blu is smaller and more personal.
Stabu Seta Residence
4.1/525 Reviews
Riga City Center
Chose the Stabu Seta for its location as our usual hotel has now been turned into apartments. Check-in was good other than our room had not been made up so we left our luggage in our friends room and headed out to meet other friends staying in a different hotel a couple of streets away for drinks and dinner. The receptionist was extremely apologetic but we were not concerned about the mistake. It’s a charming old-style hotel with a lovely little courtyard between the two buildings with tables and chairs for passing the time and a beautiful, tiled staircase. Our room (54) was a good size for the two us with plenty of storage space although I wish I had brought some extra hangers from home but we managed. There were 2 large single quilts on the double bed which was great as my husband prefers to sleep on top of the covers during summer but I do like a little bit of cover. The bed was super comfortable and I slept very well during our stay which is unusual for me. The bathroom is large with a shower over the bath and shower gel and hand soap is provided in dispensers over the bath and above the sink. The towels were a good size and nice and soft. The bedrooms are in corridors separated from the main stairwell/lifts by doors so the rooms are super quiet at night – we didn’t hear a thing and the windows overlooking the road outside are well sound-proofed so very little road noise. There is, unfortunately., no air-conditioning at all in the hotel and being at the front our room had the sun shining on it most of the day but there was a tall fan in the room and I took my small usb fan which I placed on the bedside table so we were not too hot during the night. There is a fridge in the room but no tea and coffee making facilities which I think is a major mistake (see below). The hotel website states free tea and coffee is available in Reception but unfortunately the machine was very small and most times I wanted to grab a coffee, particularly over the weekend, the machine was either out of water, out of beans or there were no cardboard cups. The hotel should either provide a larger machine and ensure it is well stocked or provide kettles in the rooms. This was my only negative, everything else though was great, especially the buffet breakfast in what would have been the cellar years ago – a great choice of hot and cold food, different varieties of cereal, fruit and breads and two coffee machines! The hotel doesn’t have a bar but there is a lovely little cellar bar next door which was charming and stocked a good range of local and international drinks. We visit Riga regularly and would certainly stay in this hotel again.
Rixwell Hotel Konventa Seta
4.3/523 Reviews
Riga City Center
Nice modern rooms in a fantastic location! Hotel spread across 3 buildings, but not an inconvenience. Breakfast was excellent offering hot, cold and local food; it was late to open on the one day when we needed it most though, as we were going out very early. Staff generally very helpful and friendly. Bed very comfy. Good radiators for drying soggy coats. Would stay again (and are planning to as well!).
Ibis Riga Centre
3.9/563 Reviews
Riga City Center
I am in Riga by bus. The hotel is very close to the Riga bus station and the train station. It is a ten minute walk. Convenient location, Riga Old Town is not big, walking to the sights can be, but unfortunately I have two days of rain, did not turn. The breakfast is very average and it is repeated every day. If you do not have a meal, don't eat it at the hotel. In addition, the room card gives me two to give praise, the socket in the room is also good, you can directly charge with the data cable, the conversion connector is left to the notebook.
