"Wonderful"

I have traveled all over the world and stayed at some of the finest hotels. This hotel, small, charming and located in the beautiful old town of Riga easily stands up to the best. Service was immaculate, location was excellent and feels like stepping back in time albeit with modern conveniences. I can't recommend it highly enough.
