Latvian friends of ours booked this hotel for us. We were visiting Vainode in South Western Latvia on a British Council school exchange. Their judgement on hotels was bang on every time [they also booked brilliant accommodation for us in the coastal town of Liepaja. The pluses for this hotel are that it is slap bang in the middle of... more

This hotel has a great location if you want to stay close to the old town, and next to shopping and nightlife. I stayed here for two days and had only good experience with the staff. As many others have said, the breakfast was ok, but not "great". I had a room with windows turned towards the "bar-street", some noise... more

I booked the Radi un Draugi hotel purely on the excellent reviews it had received on this site. We were not to be disappointed. The hotel is very central to Riga's main attractions and lies in the middle of the lovely old town (Vecriga). There is a lovely Belgian beer bar across the road and you're just down the street... more

We had a great stay at Radi un Draugi in November. The location is excellent (close to bars, restaurants), right in the middle of old town. The staff is incredibly friendly and truly wanted to help us with restaurant suggestions and other information about Riga. There is not free internet provided by the hotel, but I was able to pick... more

We stayed here for a hen weekend in Oct '07. The hotel was clean, spacious and excellent value for money in a great central location. The staff especially on reception were very friendly and helpful, recommending and booking restaurants on both nights of the weekend which were excellent. They also organise transfers from the airport, more

We stayed here for two nights from 7 to 9 Sept 2007. The hotel could not be handier to the sights of the Old Town. As before, nice, rather plain but neat and perfectly comfortable and clean rooms, with tea and coffee in the rooms which is often only provided in grander hotels. The breakfasts remain simple with a lack... more

Really good value for a city that's becoming pricey. Friendly staff, great central location, nice comfey large rooms and reliable breakfast. Stayed four nights at the start and end of a wider trip and managed an early check-in (10am!) for no charge. Only down-side is that front facing rooms can be a little noisy due to the bar opposite, but... more
