Very helpful member of desk staff on my arrival. Room upgrade provided which was great. Good sized room, fridge and kettle and good-sized bathroom. Plenty of space and facilities in the room. Breakfast - a wide-ranging choice of hot and cold food to meet every taste although accessing food could be challenging as the main dining room walkway was where food tables were located and touring parties were present! Days 2 & 3 found the table seating changed - from smaller, individual tables to large circular ones, presumably for the touring parties. Not ideal for the lone traveller. The only other negative aspect was one had to be careful leaving ones seat to collect food as over-zealous staff would take items away that were not finished with: Including food and drinks, simply because one was not seated as they hurried round to clear spaces.
The hotel is ideally suited for walking to the train and bus stations and for sight-seeing.

The location was great, close to the train & bus station with a mall next door to the hotel. Old town is a 10 minute walk so it was a nice a location. However, the bathroom was disgusting due to mold and rust. Since it’s a green hotel, it wouldn’t hurt if the hotel spend some time cleaning the tiles with some sodium bicarbonate, lemon and vinegar.

Bad barman!

First, important to say I raised the points below with staff when leaving; the person at reception was apologetic and said she’d pass the points on - so that’s a good start.

Two points that niggled:
1. The music, especially at breakfast time, was too loud - I don’t imagine many people need or want loud Led Zeppelin first thing in the morning.
2. More annoyingly, there’s a barman there who was just plain rude: he didn’t greet or even acknowledge me at the bar, and barely communicated throughout; worse, he had what appeared to be friends join him, hanging around at the bar and even playing their own music - the barman was far more animated then, and the crowd at the bar didn’t make me want to order anything else. He certainly put me off using the bar the subsequent evenings.

That aside: great location; very comfortable hotel.

I splited my 5 night stay to 5 bookings in Hotel.com but I informed almost every receptionist that I will stay 5 days in the same room, however my card was blocked everyday and they called me and awaked me asking when I am going to leave.

I asked about late check out on Aug. 3rd which is my last day of stay and they answred it costs 20 Euro per hour which basically means after 3 hours they charge me for the whole night and I prefer to go to airport and wait there.
I don't recommend this hotel at all!

Room could do with a refurbishment - good location

The hotel is well located next to Riga Central Station. Room was not up to date, door damaged and bathroom not very clean. Maintenance work (loud drilling and hammering) started on Friday and Saturday morning at exactly 9am, and a complaint meant it resumed on Sunday at 11am, so the slee0 wasn't totally ruined. Check-in staff could not believe that two men would check into a double room of a city centre hotel in 2019, so we made it clear that as a gay couple this is what we want, but another comment from check-in staff about \"I assume you need two rooms\", \"do you not want twin beds\" and the bed being \"big enough\" immediately followed. Sad to see that homophobia is still so present in Latvia, especially because the city, architecture and the vast majority of people are lovely.

Actually the hotel is nice and the staff generally are all really nice and helpful. I was however staying for 4 nights on 2nd floor and there was a party going on with very loud music going on. I asked for it to be turned down but the reception staff seemed incapable of having any authority with the noisy guest so in the end at 10.30pm at night I had to pack and move rooms to the 5th floor. I asked reception to get a manager to come and talk to me the next day but no one did. When I checked out the duty manager tried to give me 50% off my room for the disturbed night but I did not think this was enough and was not in the mood to negotiate so declined his offer and will give this review instead. There are lots of nice hotels in Riga so I will not be staying there again.

I had wanted to stay in this hotel for quite a long time due to its excellent location and elegant exterior appearance. But I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. The room was very clean but the AC did not seem to be working well. I am thankful there was a small fan in the room but after 2 attempts to call the staff to have them look at the AC I simply gave up. If I wanted to cool down I could simply leave the room and enter the hallway, where the temperature was several degrees cooler than my room. One feature I liked about the hotel is that each room has it's own wifi access with special code. Unfortunately, this seemed to work just fine in every room but mine. Once again I called the staff but they could not get it to work. Lastly, it was not the fault of the hotel but there was very noisy building construction taking place right outside my window so adding to the lack of AC made sleeping very difficult. I will say that the bar, restaurant, and spa are very nice and the massage I got was excellent. All in all I think it was just bad luck that I got a bad room but the hotel itself is quite nice.

The worst Mercure hotel.

It was the worse Mercure hotel in my life. I stayed in Mercure hotels in Vilnius, Warsaw, Paris and I was always very happy with service and the hotel facilities. This time it was a big dissapointment. The staff was certainly not well trained: they were not saying \"good morning\", staff at the reception was not friendly (no \"good morning\", they didn't ask how was my stay, they were not helpful). The breakfast was as in the 2 star hotel: on the first day the bread was very hard (for sure not fresh), only one kind of marmelade, scrmabled eggs were awful (tasted like made from the powder) and there was no soya milk and no margarine which is a standard in 4 stars hotels in Europe. One person from the breakfast staff was very rude.
There was a phone number to contact the quality manager but when I tried to call this person to make a complaint, it turned out that the number doesn't work.
I will never stay at this hotel again.

Hotel was really nice. Good interiors and friendly people working there. My only beef is the location. It's off the main area you want to be by a 10 minute walk. The blocks around it are a bit sketchy in my opinion.

Room was really small hardly any space around the bed. The shower cubicle leaked and sink blocked! Right in front of hotel door guests gathered to smoke so you walk in and out inhaling smoke. Breakfast was average. Reception staff very helpful. 15-20 minutes walk to old town.

Good quality hotel in centre of Riga

I spent 4 days in Riga in October 2015 and was impressed with this hotel - it is centrally located close to all the main attractions. I honestly cannot find anything to complain about - everything was completely satisfactory. All of the staff were first class, friendly, helpful and professional. I would like to give Sofia who was one of the bar staff a very special mention. I was present when she had to handle a very difficult customer sitting at the bar - he was loud and aggressive but Sofia kept cool, calm and professional and succeeded in handling a very difficult situation. Well done Sofia!! You were an excellent host. I enjoyed our conversations.

If you are travelling into the city from the airport get the official blue and white airport transfer bus for only 2 Euros and it will stop outside the Mercure hotel. These buses are modern, frequent and inexpensive.

The breakfast buffet had a wide range of hot and cold food, fresh tea and coffee, Excellent .

I would recommend this hotel to anyone !!

Welcoming and relaxed its

The hotel was everything I expected from it, and it was reasonably priced for a three day stay, staff were very helpful and friendly and wasn't on top of you all the time, they informed me on all the facilities and breakfast times, gave a pleasing welcome and just let you enjoy your stay, Wifi was excellent as it worked on the whole grounds of the hotel.

Near to inter-city transportation by bus and train

Excellent value, except for the included breakfast was in a basement room. This could be due to large crowd of people for the basketball games around that time.

Location was convenient to train and bus station

Staff was very friendly and went above and beyond in my opinion, by far they made sure that I had transportation to and from airport, was very helpful during my stay. I have stayed in many hotels and can't say enough about how GREAT this place was for me. Breakfast buffet had very good food, Lunch and dinner was very nice, The staff was very accommodating. Rates were reasonable, actually low compared to the value I received, I had the Privilege Room with King Bed, very spacious, bed was comfortable. I was in room 406, although it did take me a few minutes to figure out how to turn the lights on, which I had never seen before. The room was very quiet, no road noise, nice view, felt very safe and overall very comfortable. I plan on returning to visit the city again and will plan on staying at this hotel again. It came highly recommended by locals that I know and they were absolutely correct in their assessment of this facility. I rate this place very high and would recommend for anyone to stay. The only thing that was a little annoying and it was a big deal, the bathtub sits rather high and I personally was not use to having to step up that high to take a shower, fixtures and everything else was top notch and everything worked without issues. I stayed 4 nights the ease of check in and checkout was a breeze. Overall, I had a great experience at this hotel, easy walking distance to shopping, sights, restaurants, bank ect.

Nice stay in a nice place

This is a nice hotel in a very nice city, I often stay in hotels in the same group, and know that the standard is generally good. However, the staff in this hotel made a good hotel much better, from reception to dinning. The reception staff were all willing to go that little bit further, and were all very friendly. I found the restaurant staff equally helpful, even when busy a breakfast time. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with nice walk in showers.

I have to give a special mention to Victor (Chef) and the Restaurant staff, who were only to happy keep the restaurant open so we could have a special Birthday meal. Victor puts on a great show preparing the meal (which was fantastic), and then made some of the best Ice Cream I have ever tasted.
