This is an older hotel property close to Riga airport and the highway to the city. It has an on-site restaurant and an always-on free coffee machine, but there is little else in the immediate area. Friendly staff and free on-site parking, so good value for money for a short stay.

Very close to the airport, there may be better choices and less expensive places around.. this hotel was fine for a short overnight stay.. use Bolt, the taxis are a bit more expensive.. no elevators, this would be a problem if you had a couple of heavy suitcases. Breakfast was included, simple buffet with a few local Latvian breakfast items included.

Really friendly helpful receptionist. The airport is so close to the hotel some taxis even refused to take us and others wanted €10 euro. It should t be more than about 5... you can bargain or just get another cab. A transfer service would be most helpful by the hotel even if with a fixed fee to avoid this.

We were given a clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed. The carpet was old and worn but serviceable, and the room had not been updated recently. Shower was the handheld kind that sprays into the wall when in the holder-- not my favorite. No extras are provided and breakfast and sauna use are pricey so we did not try them. Overall, a decent value for the price.

Close to the airport

We stayed here before an early flight. The restaurant dinner was fabulous and desk staff arranged a taxi for us for the morning. Unfortunately there is no elevator and we were on the second floor, which meant hauling bags and a stroller up and down the stairs unassisted. Also there is no air conditioning and even with fans set up in the room it was stifling hot with one window labelled “do not open”. It wasn’t good value for what we paid, although we did make it to the airport on time bright and early.

Room was bigger than expected (called \"apartment\" with a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom), hotel had a sauna which was a nice surprise but I didn't have a chance to use it. Room was a bit cold because it was mid summer and the thermostat was dialed to zero and they probably weren't expecting the cold weather. Things were nice and clean, shower was a bit weird (shower head had a screw loose that made it impossible to adjust and the shower didn't have separate temperature/pressure adjustment, it first ramps up the pressure and then mixes hot/cold based on how far you turn the single dial) but worked fine.

Best western Mara

Hotel is a short distance away from the airport. The pick-up shuttle was reasonably priced and easy to arrange; just drop the hotel an email and they will coordinate it for you. The staff I encountered was very welcoming, opening up the restaurant quickly when I mentioned that I was feeling hungry after a late-night flight. It's noteworthy as she was the only one manning the check-in desk then, so she had to do double duties. She still found time to converse with me and give me recommendations for a day trip the next day, which was highly commendable. The room itself is nothing much to go on about; a clean bad and a decent bathroom. The staff however made it more interesting than most of my other short stays, as I found the experience very personal and less detached than most mainstream hotels.

Could not be more thrilled - highly recommended!

Service at hotels in Latvia is usually very different than those in the US, but this hotel strove to provide all of the comforts Americans are used to. The cleanliness of the room was top notch, the staff were friendly, and they even accommodated an extremely early breakfast (3:30am) and arranged a 4:00am shuttle for us to catch our plane at the airport. They provided us with a printed bus schedule so we could easily see how to get into Riga Center and back. We had a very comfortable and quiet night's sleep. We absolutely would stay at this hotel again.

Not bad for the price.

Hotel was close to the airport and only costs a few lats to get a taxi. The hotel reception greeted me when I arrived and gave me the key to my room. The room was in decent condition for the price. The blankets had holes in them from what I can suspect cigarette burns at one time or another. The windows in my room provided me with a great view of the lawn that looked great when it snowed. The curtains were a bit ripped in places but they were still able to do the job. Breakfast was provided and consisted of meats, cheese, fruit, hard boiled eggs, occasional scrambled eggs, bread (and toaster), fish, crackers, and breakfast beverages. When agreeing on the price for the room, expedia for some reason of another was unable to add the 12% VAT into the price of the room. So each nights stay in the room was 12% more than what was listed on the website but could have been avoided by calling the hotel before booking the room. Overall not a bad stay.
