Feb 26, 2008

On arrival at the hotel we found that the fire exits from our floor were locked. We complained to the manager, only to be told that he didn't have a key, and "there won't be a fire tonight" It was too late to find anywhere else to stay, and clearly there wasn't a fire that night, but this attitude to... more

Stayed for two nights with my 4 kids - had two rooms which worked out at 11 lats each for Bed & breakfast. Can agree with other reviews - location not great with nothing to do in the area but regular buses are close by to take you into the city centre. The walls are thin and the floors creak... more

This was without doubt the worst hotel we've ever stayed in. It is nowhere near the centre of town, contrary to what their misleading website states - at least 5 miles outside. They provide a transfer service but you have to pay 5 Lats - when we got a taxi back from town they only charged us 3 Lats so... more

The hotel itself was clean with helpful staff. The minibus driver / security guard was friendly and very helpful. The rest of the staff were not overly friendly but still good. The rooms were spacious and clean. Great little bar with nice terrace outside. Location was 10/15mins drive from airport and same from hotel to riga town. For the price... more

We stayed at Viesnica "Best" in Riga for 4 nights in the last week of December 2006. Allthough the somewhat "worn-out" neighbourhood, the Hotel was in very good condition. The staff was always friendly, polit, service-minded and spoke very good English, Russian and even Swedish. Our room was very spacious with windows facing the beautiful garden on the back, with... more

Nice staff that speaks very good english The hotel rooms are very noisy as all rooms are separated by a thin wall. Our neighbours came home at around 3am and their television made me wake up. In summer the rooms are really hot. more

The service was always awsome. The staff spoke excellent English. The room was very tidy and the beds were more comfortable than in any hotel I've been - and that's many. Hotel Best is located just next to the bus stop and it takes only app. 10 minuts to the Old Riga. The Breakfast was ok, although the selection was... more

We stayed in this hotel in April 06 for 2 nights midweek. It cost us £16 pppn for B&B in a twin room. Rooms were very clean although the bathroom was tiny & the towels were changed each day. Breakfast was Swedish cold buffet style but was good. We had one meal in the restaraunt which i found to be... more

To all travellers to Riga: please avoid this thing called Hotel Best. It is utterly impossible to sleep there. Noise is a permanent presence. People coming in and going out all night. Cheap look, cheap furniture, dirty look. It could be a great hotel, as the place is brand new and the area is very peaceful. But management makes it... more

I stayed in this hotel for one night before traveling forward. I found this hotel from the Internet, their website and pictures seemed good enough and booking was easy to do. Room and bathroom were dirty and overall look of the room is cheap. Only smoking rooms were available and smell in the room was quite strong. Also it seemed... more
