Pros: Hotel is world-class. Everything is done with elegance and sophistication. The hotel itself is beautiful. my room facing the park was outstanding.. bed spectacular. The Spa maybe the finest hotel spa...they have a HOT STONE CHAIR (3)..you give yourself a hot stone treatment just by sitting in it... beautiful dream, sauna, cold plunge, massage/mud room,...and in the beautiful pool... another thing I have never seen ..a standing Jacuzzi...you hold on and the air lifts you...I used it on my back, biceps...lasts about 3 minutes...

Pros: Excellent location. Comfortable room and bed, very clean bed linen and bathroom towels.

Cons: Not a thing.

Pros: Staff was excellent from arrival through departure. Breakfast was very high quality with extensive options. Guestroom design was very thoughtful and functional.

Pros: The service is fantastic

Cons: I would like breakfast to open earlier

Pros: I really lived the hotel ! The location is great and the room is a dream! Decoration is so beautiful ! The rooftop was the best !! I wish to go back

Pros: the staff and location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything is great

Cons: I did not like that hotel takes sequrity 100$ from the credit card because they think that I might eat something from a mini bar, then they promise to return, but bank takes also transaction fee 11$. They will return 100$, but 11$ I have to give for nothing, even though I do not use anything from that mini bar. That is not good. Also prices are extremely high in restaurants and cafes. For 2 glasses of champaine to pay 40 eu is too much.

Pros: I highly recommend try SPA, especially this small two people sauna with special treatment. I like this hotel all, building, interior, my wife,...!!! This hotel really is 5 stars hotel.

Cons: Your private car parking is tricky, but possible. If you use limousine, no problems.

Pros: the location was very central to what we wanted to see. was a recommended location on trip advisor we were pleasantly surprised to have suites when we checked in great value for the price. we asked for an extra night but were not able to get. parking off the street was a bonus thanks to another guest canceling.

Pros: All was good

Cons: Breakfast was a bit poor

Pros: Everything was fine service room and breakfast

Pros: Nice hotel , good and reach breakfast , close to the old town.

Pros: Great staff. Very clean. Good breakfast.

Pros: Nothing!

Cons: Old hotel, Bath room is unclean! Old furniture! Old noisy air condition! No water, bocal in the room! Cometics from China, its terrible!!! Wellton and Rixwell also had cometics from china!

Pros: The room was clean and comfortable. The personnel was helpful and friendly. The restaurant has delicious meals.

Pros: Located in a very nice area in Riga from which you can explore the city by foot. Personnel was friendly and attentive. The breakfast was excellent. Our room was very spacious.

Pros: Great location and well run hotel. Had two different stays and both rooms were nice. It is an older property, yet the rooms are a good size and it is very clean and quiet. Sits in front of an amazing park and plenty of restaurants and bars.

Pros: Location great

Cons: No view from bedroom..rooflights had no blinds so woken by early morning light

Pros: The location is very good, liked everything. I'll definitely be back again.

Pros: Great hotel with a feeling of another era very close to the old city (10 mins on foot). Plenty of shops , restaurants (see Lido and Hesburger and not only) ,mini-markets real close to hotel. And of course a very clean and peaceful park right across the street. Tram stop next to the hotel. Room (208) was more than spacious in hotel terms, with a high ceiling an excelent view to the park across the hotel. The street outside was busy with trams, cars etc but the double windows made the difference being totally soundproof. Room had all the amenities (slippers, bathrobes , minibar etc). Bath had a bathtub, (how often do u see this in hotels anymore??). Loved the curtains which blocked the daylight in case u want to sleep some more.. Beds had very good matresses and extra pillows in case u need some. Breakfast was very good. A wide variety of food for all tastes. Except perhaps the yoghurt , there wasnt any or at least we didnt find it. Safe parking for your car in case u have one, but better avoid parking it under the trees because there are small drops of tree glue all over the car and while entering the gate be careful if u have a low distance from the ground car, cause there's a metal thing on the ground which keeps the gates locked when closed . Staff was more than polite and helpful always with a smile on their face. Excellent indeed. An asset was that we got a smokers room upon our request months earlier. Thank you guys. All in all its a great place to stay in Riga, owners did an excellent job keeping the old and romantic character of this old building while not compromising in amenities and modern equipment. Definately suggest it.

Cons: TV could have more channels, there were a few only. There was a not so pleasant odor from time to time , from place to place either in room or in hotel hallways. Maybe it was the carpet or the drain system, not sure about it.

Pros: Great staff and best access to Rīgā cent

Pros: Megija is the best receptionist EVER

Pros: Excellent buffet breakfast, great choice of food. The staff seeing we'd headed out onto the terrace even came to let us know when they were finishing so we didn't miss out on having everything we needed, nice touch.

Cons: Top floor rooms have tiny porthole style windows, so whilst we overlooked the park...not much of a view. On the plus side it meant not much daylight or noise got in!

Pros: A classic 4* hotel in the historic centre of Riga just next to the Old Town and other places of interest. Railway and bus stations are both within walking distance. Rooms comfortable and air-conditioned (not ubiquitous for Riga). Staff very friendly.

Pros: The location is ok, friendly staff, the hotel is located in the center of Riga.

Cons: Used room, parking outside the hotel.

Pros: They where okay

Cons: The TV is very poor only locall

Pros: Good, retro hotel, very interesting inside, it is worth to see it. Very good breakfast.

Pros: Breakfast was good. Location was convenient.

Cons: 1. I was promised a room with a view - and wasn't given one on check in. I changed the room twice, but found myself each time on a higher floor, with exactly the same view. The exercise was futile. 2. I had swiped my Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) debit card at the Europa Royale hotel on July 22nd 9:34 PM Riga time (July 23rd 00:04 PM IST) for EUR 303.45 = INR 24,580.63. The receptionist mentioned the transaction failed, hence I swiped a second time. Again I was told the transaction failed, hence I swiped a third time. Having swiped my card three times, I got a notification from SCB about the amount of 24,580.63 being deducted thrice, instead of once, I.e. INR 73,741.89 . When I asked the hotel to refund the two transactions that were swiped in error, they clarified they have not received any payment at all so far. The proofs they had provided, included the transaction declined slips, and the declined code 100, lastly all the credits the Europa Group received on July 22nd- and it is missing an amount of EUR 303.45. I logged a complaint with the with my bank specifying that the transaction was declined at the time of transaction but the debit has been made from my account three times and SCB should investigate. While SCB mentioned this will take upto 10 working days to investigate, I was scheduled to depart from the hotel on July 25th and the hotel staff and I were confused about how to settle the issue- which could not wait for 10 working days. Thereafter I approached the Front office Manager - Agnis and she was extremely rude (unfit to be in a front office job). Then the General Director Vytautas Stankevicius, met me and said this is not his problem, I was stunned. How can this have have been resolved by me alone? He was rude and un-cooperative. I then made the payment in cash mode, took a letter of acknowledgement of payment from him and requested SCB to expedite the permanent reversal of the 3 amounts payed by me electronically to the Europa Group.

Pros: It is my second stay with this hotel. Excellent location, friendly reception staff. Breakfast had good selection of foods to suit our dietary needs. Breakfas staff was attentive and prompt. Room was very clean and the bed super comfortable. SPA visit was also enjoyable, really liked sauna and pool with hydromassage. Overall I would say we had a really good stay.

Cons: Room was a bit on a small side, but functional. SPA visit was at an additional fee.

Pros: Great hotel with very friendly, helpful and English speaking staff. Breakfast is great with lot of choices. Rooms are clean. TOP location in the centre of Old Town Riga and near station. Relaxing massage is super. Airport shuttle service

Cons: The discount on prices of the Spa. Would be nice if more discount would be given to hotel guests who stay longer than a week, or offered one time free use of the Spa.

Pros: Location

Cons: Attention to replace lounge chair was poor.

Pros: Location Good breakfast

Pros: Pretty much everything, nice little spa not crowded, very clean room, tv with best channel selection ever seen in hotel, lovely breakfast with option of free prosecco, close to old town and all transport.

Cons: No natural light into the room so always feel dark, shower door didnt fully close.

Pros: Location, staff, SPA.

Cons: Problems with TV.

Pros: location is excellent breakfast was very good

Cons: the rooms were characterless and very budget finished

Pros: Good new hotel and responsive staff!!!

Pros: all of our stay was very very nice!!

Cons: maybe to improve better pillow and blanket quality!

Pros: Size of the room and main thing - view from the balcony ! Of course - shower room with balcony and minibar. Bonus - ironing board and iron.

Cons: Very loud air conditioning.

Pros: I loved the location and the staff was friendly, especially the new girl. The room was super clean and the bed crazy comfortable for a hotel.

Cons: Unfortunately, many features in the room didn't work. The minifridge was broken, which was unfortunate as I had perishables. The plug for the drain in the bathtub was broken, sending all the lovely bath salts that came with the room straight down the drain. The television also didn't work, though that's lowest on my list. It was really unfortunate because it was ALMOST so perfect. (Fix the room on the second floor, very end of the corridor, and it would be a five star rating)

Cons: Didn't like the staffs attitude, quite miserable to be honest, no pleasantries. Group of ladies next to me were asking the front desk to book them a taxi, and that seamed to be an issue (felt like no one ever asked it before). Everyone must have an ID that's checking in for some reason, rooms are overpriced for what you get. Walls are paper thin. It's clean, bed was comfortable.

Pros: Awesome sized room. Friendly helpful staff. Good location

Cons: Break fast was the cheapest you could think not eatable. Why the F**k do you put in a glass bathroomdoors?

Pros: Bathroom in suite and the room overall was really nice.

Cons: Duvey was a bit small for two people and the view from the suite window was to the roof. There would be nice to have more breakfast options for vegans.

Pros: The restaurant was very good value and the service here was great

Cons: When the rooms were made up in the morning, the used coffee cups weren't changed and the fridge wasn't re-stocked at all during our stay. I did mention this to reception but they were not interested.

Pros: Location was very good and staff at reception was excellent.

Cons: Room was very dusty and not cleaned properly had to ask cleaner to fill hand wash and empty bin and when asked to change beding was told its done but wasn't as can still smell the wife's perfume on pillows ect gym so small 3 people In there made it packed. Breakfast always cold and not good.

Pros: Location

Cons: The room was really small! The Windows all dirty the bathroom as well. To much money for just one night in this room ! Is not a 4 start hotel maximum 3 not more !

Pros: Clean room, cleaned everyday, good quality breakfast buffet, nice jacuzzi and sauna avaliable in the morning until 12 am, nice position near the bus station and the train station (so the central market) which make possible to go wherever you want easily (the only bad thing is that is full of drunk people but it is so in every country), really fast check in and check out.

Cons: Just the staff not too smiling

Pros: The breakfast was great.

Cons: It was stated that "parking is available", however, the parking lot they have at the hotel costs 17 euro per night and it was full at the time so we had to park at a lot nearby that cost us 25 euro for 20 hours.

Pros: Great atmosphere and good location.
