Check In We booked 2 nights at the new HGI Riga Old Town for 247€. We selected the best room category offered at this property: King Deluxe City View. This property doesn't have any suites.At checkin, the friendly staff welcomed us. There was no Diamond recognition. The staff was friendly and professional and even took the time to show us the main sights of Riga on a map.Lobby and bar area. They serve Veuce Cliquot champagne (our favourite) by the glass for 10€! Room The room was located on the 5th floor and is fairly large. There is a long corridor when entering the room. To the left there is the bathroom with a shower, bathtub and sink. At the far end of the corridor was a sofa as well as a small desk with a fridge. The king sized bed was around the corner. The view was good. Service The staff were all very friendly and professional. They serve cocktails with local alcohol at the bar and the barkeeper explained everything on the menu.There is a pantry to the left of the reception with snacks and drinks.The room service drinks list is as follows: Dining The breakfats is served in the restaurant. To my surprise, they offered prosecco at breakfast. The spread was decent. As it got very busy, the restaurant seemed a bit too small to cope with all the guests and the table placed were very close to each other. Location The location is very convenient to explore the old town. The bus station is a 10 minute walk away. There is a convenience store opposite of the hotel as well as many shops and restaurants. Overall This is a brand new hotel (opened September 2019) and is definitely recommended. The location is excellent and the staff were very friendly throughout our stay. The finishings are modern and everything was to our liking. I would stay again.
