Ibis Riga Centre

Excellently located near the train station, various bus and tram stops, shops nearby and line 22 (airport bus) is at walking distance (if you're not disabled because of the pedestrian tunnels/stairs) to cross the busy streets. We arrived by the airport bus, voor weer die notice a parking garage veel nearby, though 15 euros for 24 hours. The hotel is a real IBIS hotel, like we had experienced before in Tallinn. Everything is organised well. There are two elevators, knowing where the second is, evades busy line ups with new guests with suitcases and goes directly to the breakfast rooms below level as well The most exceptional -which I never ever experienced in any hotel(!)- were the very nice long blankets. I'm pretty tall at 1.96m and that usually means either cold feet or 'fold yourself' to be fully covered up. Bus this blanket I was able to fold back under my feet and still have the top to my neck. Very rare, but very very welcome! Also the breakfast is excellent: there's a wide variety of choice and prepared freshly daily. Sufficient refills and the staff really works their bum off. We stayed four days and three days there were groups making the breakfast line busy and crowded, but the staff managed very well. Tip: 07:00-08:00 is supposed to be the less busiest moment, but we noticed that around 08:30 it was more quiet and usually almost no line. We were on the fifth floor, on the rear, there's not much of a view there, but there's also no noise other than guests trailing the hallways now and then. We had quiet nights. And oh, yes, the room is spacious enough, also a nice detail. Another details is the decoration, on the headboard wall was a chess board in close up and featured a round 6 of something chess situation of stone grandmasters. I guess, not sure, every room has their own chessboard situation, nice touch!

Great location - right in the heart of Vecriga (old Riga), and super convenient to do a walking tour to all the must-see sights. Right next to the train station, a big shopping centre and cineplex too. The staff is wonderful and very helpful, kindly accommodated my ask for a late checkout. The room was amply sized, bigger than most other Ibis hotels I've been to, comfy beds (on the firmer side which I prefer) and pillows, and a nice shower.

What I liked: -Location: The hotel is ideally situated directly across from Riga’s Central Railway Station, making it incredibly convenient for travel. It’s also just a 500-meter walk to the Old Town and the Latvian National Opera, allowing easy exploration of the city’s cultural sites.  -Reception: The staff at the reception were welcoming and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in and providing helpful information about local attractions. -Price: Considering its prime location and amenities, the room rates were very reasonable, offering great value for money. -Cleanliness and Comfort: The room was spotless and well-maintained, featuring modern decor, a comfortable bed, and amenities like a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. -Cuisine and Breakfast: The hotel offers a restaurant serving light meals, which is convenient for guests arriving at various times. While I didn’t dine extensively, the option is appreciated for its convenience.

The room was a great size, the bed was very comfortable very close to the train and bus station and only a 5 minute walk to the old town Lady on a he desk in the morning was really helpful finding which train I was needed for my onward journey

Staff and management is very kind, sorted out all our requests. Thank you! Cozy and quiet room (although floor boards made a little noise). Central location, very close to train station, bus station, large supermarket, and old town. Great breakfast (much more variety than anticipated), real coffee! Breakfast area might be crowded some days, but not during our stay. Clean.
