The room and hotel were lovely. The geometric carpet throughout the residential floors was stunning. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom design was incredible. The staff were helpful and attentive. The on-site restaurant was also great (although the menu was a little limited) - the food and service was excllent. I would however like to point out that room service is not 24 hour (as it says in the Expedia listing) - the kitchen shuts at 22h00. We arrived at 11pm which meant we had to order using a delivery app, which was a little disappointing.

Very friendly staff, excellent facilities, superb selection for breakfast and spacious rooms. Loved the soa which we used every day. The only issue was the noise from the courtyard( which our room backed onto). A lot of banging and crashing in the early hours woke us up most nights.

We had a great stay at the Grand Poet hotel. We had a slight issue with a noisy adjoining room at first but they moved us to a different room straightaway. The rooms are big and we had a nice view of the city whilst still being quiet. There was a great selection for breakfast and the spa/pool was lovely. The staff were all very helpful and on my birthday we came back to find a bottle of sparkling wine in our room. Would definitely recommend.

The hotel is beautifully decorated. The rooms are huge - heated bathroom floors are a nice bonus. The spa area is amazing!!!! Breakfast is ample. The staff all around are fantastic-highly recommend this hotel. Also the location is perfect-right between the old town and the new area so it’s conveniently close to all the sites and restaurants.

We were really looking forward to our stay as it was my husband’s first time visiting Riga. I had seen the hotel on a previous visit & loved the location beside the park. Unfortunately - we were allocated a small, dark room at the back of the hotel that was looking directly onto the walls & windows of other rooms. If you choose this hotel, pay the extra for a room with a view. Disappointing as we were staying for 3 nights. Because of this I would not return.
