Fantastic stay

The hotel is fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The spa is excellent and on an evening 7-10pm only over 16s are allowed in which made it more relaxing. The breakfast had a huge selection and very tasty. Would love to stay again.

Great value for money and staff were very friendly. Perfectly located for the old town and shopping. Room was very comfortable with everything we needed and the use of the spa after a day around town was a great bonus.

Sean, 2-night trip

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Grand Poet. Great location, with an easy walk to everywhere, yet away from the noisy crowds. Lovely, spacious room, comfortable bed with super soft sheets, beautiful bathroom also. Breakfast was plentiful, including lactose and gluten free options. The Snob bar staff was also very friendly, reserving a table and turning the tv to tennis channel for us. All in all one of the best hotel stays and would happily stay here again!

Such a lovely property having 30 million spent on it. Staff were amazing. Breakfast really has everything and walking to the old town is just across the park.
Simon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the best in class based on by visits to hotels in the area. Excellent breakfast and probably the best of the best. I cannot list all the positives which are countless but I will mention the 3 different temperature Saunas which i don't even have in my upscale gym. Medium size and nice swimming pool for short laps.I suggest upgrading the thin towels unless I happened to use the floor towel by mistake :) . Great service and overall of top in class hotel. This gets a full mark using the rating system for other hotels in the area.

Beautiful hotel with a lovely spa. Breakfast buffet had a good selection. Lovely to walk through the park opposite to the old town. Everywhere within walking distance.

Fantastic breakfast buffet spread, helpful and courteous staff, very comfortable room with amenities, large bathroom with powerful shower, very good adjustable heating. Highly recommended.
CHUA SEOW, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Ann Marie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All staff members were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive. Restaurant food is great and cocktails were fab. Facilities are very good, spa is really lovely and the rooms are very well thought out. Decoration and cleanliness is wonderful throughout. Very close to both Old Town Riga and the Art Nouveau district
Charlotte, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great food and service. Just few recommendations for improvement:the room was looking in the courtyard, and had only blackout curtains. That means we have to keep them drawn day time as well otherwise we would be seen from the opposite rooms. Also, there is not a Cafe in the hotel.
Galena, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
