Riga Islande Hotel with FREE parking

Very slow check in. Could have enjoyed more than a single bed pillow. Heat was on low and could not be turned down and no A/C made room a bit warm. Chairs were very hard.

I stayed here for 5 nights at the very end of March 2025. My room was on the 8th Floor, nice and quiet. I paid for a single 'double' as I wanted a bit more room. Basically, I think it was a standard twin (both beds pushed together), which suited me and I thought it was very good value. Plenty of choice for breakfast - inc porridge, fruit, cold meets, pancakes, omelette, juice etc. Rooms were cleaned and tidied every day. Gym is quite well stocked for a hotel - €5 gets you a 24hr pass to the gym so you can effectively go 2 'days' in a row which I did. I walked into the old town each day which took me 20-25 min, there was a chilly wind across the bridge but that's to be expected for March/early April. Literally 3 - 4 min walk from the hotel is a shopping mall with a fairly big supermarket inside and a smallish food court (perhaps 7 or 8 food outlets) upstairs. Checkout at 12 is useful and they will keep your bags safe until you want to pick them up. Other than breakfast, I didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on the quality of meals (apart from the breakfast, which was quite good). All in all, it was good value and I'd stay there again if I ever return to Riga.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish! The room was lovely and warm! Breakfast was delicious and the location for me anyways was fantastic with an outlet and supermarket literally less then 5 mins walk and old Riga about 20 mins walk over the bridge.. no complaints from me. My one and only thing I would say is the hairdryer wasnt working continuously but it isn't enough to drop the score.
