The spa was disappointing as there were toddlers in the jacuzzi using it as a swimming pool so you could not get in . The middle room for breakfast is very canteen like which is a pity . Breakfast was amazing- the rooms are spacious. We had a lovely weekend so central.

We had a fantastic stay in Grand Poet Hotel. We booked the Deluxe room and we were given room 419, which had a fantastic view over the park and Riga old town. There was plenty of room for 3 people including our son. Room was tastefully decorated and super clean. We utilized the valet parking which was really convenient. Charge was 30 Euros per night. Hotel was walking distance from everything, including all the nice restaurants in the old town. SPA was nice, but a bit overcrowded at all times. Highly recommended.

Luxurious and very elegant hotel. £30 million spent on it recently. Even standard rooms were lovely and swanky. Staff were so so nice. Walk to old town just across the park. Or trams to zoo and river. All very close by. Breakfast was amazing with so much choice. Well worth it.

Great hotel in Riga

Nicely located away from the noise but 10 min walk away from the old town. Love the spa and the jr suite was an excellent size and super quiet. Staff were very helpful but, like most in Riga, not super warm. Only downside is there are not any restaurants super close if you want to eat outside the hotel. The food at the restaurant was really good though. If we came back, we’d definitely stay here again.
