No elevator in 4 floor hotel

During booking process there was no clear sign of no elevator in hotel. \"Luckily\" we got room on 2nd floor. Could imagine how it was for guests on 4th floor. The overal condition of hotel is poor. Small dubble room, with some smell from bathroom. Somehow air-conditioner was always on at 7.12, so we had unique wake up call :( Breakfast could be more tasty and with more choices. Location of hotel is good with lot of public transport connections.

Good location, only 15 minutes walk from the centre. Great breakfast for a budget hotel. The only downsides were thin walls (and some visitors like to have their TV on at 100am), no storage space in the room apart from 4 hangers, and no elevator, even though on 4 floors.

Hotels.com did not disclose no elevator in hotel

At no point there was a disclosure that this hotel does not have an elevator, meaning this hotel is not equipped to host people with disabilities or just the ones who don't want to break their backs carrying their suitcase to the 4th floor. This is what I got with this non-refundable booking for 6 nights. I am not sure if this more of a fault of Hotels.com or A1 hotel itself, but the bottom line is that they should be very clear that this hotel is not for people with disabilities or otherwise unable to carry their luggage up the stairs breaking their backs. When I called Hotels.com I was told that that they cannot do anything at this point and that I should call them tomorrow. Than means that I cannot even make a reservation for a hotel with an elevator until I wait till Hotels.com resolves this matter with hotel management. What if not dear Hotels.com? Do you want to be liable for my back treatment fees?

Not bad location but terrible hotel

I booked this hotel knowing that it was a cheap price and a fair location, if a bit far as the other reviews say. I don't mind walking and the location was easily the best part of the hotel.

If you value sleep or even somewhat quiet rooms, don't stay here. The walls are basically paper thin and you could easily have a conversation with your neighbors. That and the fact that the doors and bathroom doors do not close without slamming meant no sleep 2 of the 3 nights.

The rooms were fairly clean and the beds surprisingly comfortable, although the sheets do not fit and if you roll over will come off the bed completely. The bathroom and shower were not great, but good shower pressure. All in all it was really not a comfortable place to stay.

The reception staff were quite nice but we really did not have much interaction with them besides for asking to move rooms (we were told the loud guests were checking out and it would be better - it only was marginally, the walls are so thin) and asking how to turn off the incredibly annoying blinking blue light on the air conditioner (they said nothing we could do so we had to take the card out of the reader at night to turn off all electricity).

I would definitely spend a little extra for a better hotel where I could actually rest or sleep or not be concerned about where I was stepping. Good price for a hotel but awful experience.

The hotel was in a decent part of Riga, 15 minutes by foot to old town. The hotel had a very good breakfast every morning with a nice selection of items. The room was on the top floor with no elevator, so walking up the stairs was necessary. (Not a big deal for me). The hotel seemed safe and I didn't have any issues during my stay. The room was high enough so that street noise was not an issue. The room was clean when I arrived and was cleaned every morning.

Comfortable budget stay

Single, female experienced traveller. Found area fine and safe, though some might prefer luxury and the best areas. Wish I had booked a third night at the price as I wanted to do more in Riga.

Hotel has no lift, but I managed to carry two bags up and down. I thought it had some local character, rather than a chain hotel, with a small pool hall and bar, good coffee. I left bags there most of a day in secure locked room and went back to add things twice, no trouble.

Local area mostly independent shops and residential. As I said, very good value and room fittings surprisingly good for the cost. Would definitely use again.

You get what you pay for.

For the money, it's hard to find a better deal. The room itself was fine, though a bit dated with paper thin walls. A nice breakfast is included, but on a couple of mornings there was a lack of food, dishes, cups and utensils. I ended up using a bowl instead of a plate, and drinking coffee from a glass since there was no clean cups left. The receptionist seemed disinterested in helping the overloaded kitchen staff with cleaning the tables or getting clean dishes for waiting customers. For whatever reason, the staff certainly doesn't seem motivated to provide good customer service. Having said that, it's probably still the cheapest and best deal for a private hotel room close to the city center.

Good location hotel with very thin walls

Hotel was a bit old looking, bathroom was smelly, room was clean otherwise, good location, good warm breakfast. But - hotel walls are so thin that you could even hear normal volume talking from the next room. Every time someone was walking, flushing, closing the door, you could hear it. Couldn't sleep at all. Otherwise I would recommend it but if you value quiet sleep, this is not for you.

Good hotel for the price

This is a very good hotel for the price. The main areas are slightly shabby- a new carpet wouldn't go amiss- but our room was lovely, with good quality bed linen and towels. The staff were pleasant and reasonably helpful but make sure you get a detailed street map from elsewhere as they don't seem to have them. Breakfast was plentiful with some strange offerings (coleslaw anyone?) but lots of fruit and delicious jams.
The area is okay, not too far from the central station but, apart from a few restaurants and clothes shops, there's very little in the area. The free Wi-Fi was good and reasonably reliable.

The A1 is 2nd / 3rd floor hotel over a billiard parlor and bar. The entrance is actually around the corner in Gertrudes Iela and my taxi driver had problems finding it initially.

Comfortable, clean and with a good breakfast

Got at the hotel extremely early and everyone tried to mitigate the problems associated with that as much as possible.

Room was clean, decently spacious and well insulated.

Shower was OK but the amenities somewhat lacking.
Good WiFi in the room.

Common areas are a bit rundown. The stairs look very old and there is no elevator so take this into consideration.

Breakfast was a very good surprise. Plenty of variety and quantity. Excellent given the price.

Location is close to the KGB building and some 20 minutes on foot to the old town, bus and rail station.

Would do again for the same rate.

Very good value for money

The rooms were clean, light and a good size - even had hairdryers. A good breakfast buffet. Helpful staff. Only a ten minute walk to the old town. Only drawback for some travellers might be there is no lift and it's on three floors.

Depending on where your room is, your stay can be a bit noisy. I was woken up by traffic noise and person snoring in room next to mine.

Breakfast is ok but not great.

If You got a deal...

I got there because of a special deal and I have to say if I'd have a chance to choose once again, I would go...but only if my other choices are fully booked either are unusually expensive or You got a great deal on this one!
Room was big. 2 windows, small one had no curtains, other one was only half covered and there was no chance to shut it properly. There was sofa chair to close view through small window though. No sockets near bed. No tea/coffee maker. Low quality (clean though) bed linens.
Shower just wasn't my cup of tea hence I'd rate it as 2/5, but because of a great deal I decide to rate it as 3/5.
And more than that...got problems with my access card, I couldn't get in and it couldn't be solved until the morning.
Good breakfast and friendly staff saved the day!

Great value

Travelled to Riga with a friend. Hotel was basic, but was perfect for our 3 night stay. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Only a 10 minute walk from the town centre which was a nice walk in itself. Breakfast was simple but plentiful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Excellent value, free breakfast and conveniently l

We booked 1 night at the hotel and found it to be very good. It was clean, comfortable and provided us with an excellent free breakfast buffet.
We returned a few days later for a further night and then again a few days later for 3 more nights.
There was a lot of traffic noise when we were in a room overlooking the road but it wasn't too bad with the window closed. There was air conditioning which helped keep the room cool. The hotel lobby and stairs looked a bit dated but when we left for the final time workmen were replacing the carpet with laminate flooring so it should bring it more up to date. The staff were excellent - very helpful and friendly. The hotel is located about 20 minutes walk from Old Town and 15/20 minutes from the train/bus station and 30 minutes from the airport by bus. It's close to most of the attractions and buses, trams and trolley buses are just a couple of minutes walk away. If you want home-made gluten-free bread and cakes etc try Tira Maize just a few yards away on Gertrudes Iela.

Great hotel although a little smelly

Nice hotel: only 10min walk from town, clean and well priced. There are shops nearby, a fast food place at the entrance and the hotel bar has many snooker tables and friendly staff. As other reviews have mentioned it does smell a bit funny, I think this is due to a cleaning product used as it was the same musty smell in some of the museums we visited. Nevertheless it was clean and I would return at the price we paid.

Good value for the €30-40 price.

This hotel is OK for this price (€30-40). The room was clean and comfortable albeit the hall and stairway look a but worn out already. There are many options for local transportation nearby, so location is not a problem. I was on top floor, and the view was still a brick wall from a neighboring building. All in all, an OK stay. With regard to the price, an excellent stay!

Reasonable

Overall, I would recommend this hotel for the price. Main negative points were the smell from the bathroom and the poor condition of the stairway area (it desperately needed new carpet). Minor issue with bedding not fitting bed very well and only had one pillow each. However, the bed was comfortable and it didn't seem to be too noisy when we stayed.

Room was spacious and clean with large Samsung TV. One lamp didn't work, even after swapping the bulb with another, and my suitcase got quite dusty after putting it under a bed at one point. Would have really appreciated tea/coffee making facilities in the room, but guess they want to maximise the bar revenue. Not a issue for us, but there didn't seem to be any elevator. Breakfast was very acceptable - not spectacular, but a good enough range.

Location is good - outside old town area, although walkable. A nearby bus stop on Aleksandra Caka iela will get you to the central station. There is Lido restaurant 100m from the hotel, or going in the other direction along Gertrudes iela, there is a Rimi supermarket in the Barona Centrs.

Good value hotel. 10 minutes walk from the centre

Stayed here for 3 nights in March 2015. Hotel approximately 2 miles from the centre of town (Central Railway Station). Very easy to find as straight down a main road from the station.
Hotel is just off the main road (Caka St) up a couple of flights of stairs. Reception area has snooker hall off, bar area and also area for breakfasts.
Room was small but comfy - double bed, tv (with BBC Entertainment channel in english), desk area, chairs and a window that opens. En suite had a roomy shower cubicle and hairdryer. Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels supplied.
Breakfasts served 7:00am to 10:00am - basic buffet but adequate (break for toasts, cheeses and ham, cereal, tea and coffee etc).
Overall the hotel was good for a short break in Riga. I would recommend.

Would happily stay again at €15 a night double for single occupancy. Hotel might be a bit tired in places but for a weekend away where you want a shower and a quite place to sleep this was ideal.

Very clean room

My mistake was booking a room that faces the street. Light from the street made it a little difficult to sleep. Perhaps the hotel should put darker curtains in the rooms. I was very impressed with how clean the room was. Breakfast was good too, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. For the price, it is good. The walls could use some sound-proofing though as I could hear every word from the room next to mine.

A1 for the price

Well I never give anything a 5 rating as then it would mean it is flawless. But this hotel is a real good stay for the price in Riga. It is about 15 mins walk to city centre, but the walk is not a boring walk. Lots of shops and cafes to walk into on your way to centre. Nice clean rooms and good staff. I took the room facing the road and it does get some traffic noise but i guess you can opt for other rooms. I am not entirely sure about sound proffing in the rooms, all 3 nights were quiet, but last day before check out i could hear some russians from next door talking loudly. Either they had kept the door open or just checked in and exited ;-)

Hotel A1 Gertrude Iela Riga

The hotel has no façade. One has to walk through a long alleyway to reach the reception on the 2nd floor. This said, the room is furnished to very high standard. TV, WiFi all worked well. Towels are changed everyday. Breakfast is good. My only qualm is: my room faces Gertrude street, traffic is heavy and my room is noisy till midnight even when window is shut. Also, there is no safe deposit box. Instead one deposits one's belongings in a self adhesive plastic bag at the reception.

No Lift

We didn't do our homework really well as when we arrived we had to walk up the stairs to the 2nd floor with our suitcases to reception and then after receiving our key we had to walk up the stairs together with suitcases to the 5th floor where our room was situated. We are in our 60's and it was a real effort. It was also a 30minute walk to old town.

I am completely satisfied with my stay at this inexpensive and perfectly located hotel. This hotel is literally two blocks from the historical town center, and was a great value. The staff was kind and attentive, answering all of my questions, as well as arranging for airport rides (to and from), wake-up calls (knocks, actually!) and overall made me feel at home. They have two computers in the lobby that are free to use. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay there again!

Aamupalalta jäin kaipaamaan lihapullia muuten riittoisa. Huone oli siisti ja sänky tosi mukava vain jääkaapin puuttui. Hotellin sijainti on hyvä ja aivan lähellä oli monta ruokailupaikka.

Bra service.

Bokat rum för 2 vuxna och 2 barn. Skulle då enligt information vid incheckning få rum med 3 enkelsängar.?

Men det ordnades till utmärkt så vi kunde få ett rum med 4 sängplatser! Det var bra service!


Frukostutbudet var litet, trångt och passade inte vårt sällskap. Vattenmelonen var dock toppen!

Läget strax utanför city-center var bra med bussar och spårvagn i närheten.
