Stayed at the Reval Latvija for 4 nights, on the 17th floor. Its in a perfect location, and great if you have a city view (the room has a map of the skyline, so you know what you're looking at!). With a night club, and skyline bar (open til 2am or 3am at the weekends), and a casino - we didnt hear a thing! Perfect.

The breakfast was varied, with loads of tables to choose from - by the window to watch the world go by is nice!

Reception were very helpful - they printed out our boarding passes for return flight (as business centre was closed!). They also changed up some money for us - restaurants didnt like taking large notes (100Lat notes - which is about £100). The maid's were very friendly, and did a great job in the room.

The shuttle bus was great - if a little fast at 11:45pm when we arrived! I think he must have driven at 100mph! What a start to a holiday! Make sure you check when he returns for your flight home. Reception told us 08:25 or 09:40 - but he waited until 0910 for us!!

The city is great - lots to see. You have to go up the TV tower - if only for the view (not alot else up there!). Jump on a train to Jurmala (station is Majori) - 2.5lats for 2 return tickets - its about a 30min journey. Lovely beer houses. Also get on a tram (3, 7 or 9) to the LIDO centre for a lovely litre of beer & some garlic black bread - yum!

We ate in Indian Raja - very nice (we went there twice!) - on Saturday night they have dancers! :o) We also ate in Tequila Boom (texmex) - wierd food (passion fruit in a veggie burrito!), but bloomin tasty! Definately try it if you like mexican food. They also do a "yard of tequila" to drink (6 shots on a bit of wood!).
Red Fred do nice home brew beer & tasty luch time beer snacks.
The medieval restaurant (Rozengrals) was always very busy - you have to book every night - but it was a bit too dark and dungeon-y for me!

My only problem .. 15c or 20c to use the toilet & usually the "cashier" will give you some toilet paper- I certainly spent more than a penny on this trip! ;o)

All in all - fantastic trip, didnt want to come home.
