Parking note. Problematic — Hotel has no dedicated parking; guests must use expensive municipal parking (30€/day) or find street parking in expensive zones several blocks away.

What guests report

View

Rooms facing back courtyard are quietest; rooms facing street and bars on Grecinieku Street are noisier; some rooms have sunny terrace views though concrete walls can limit sightlines

Bed & mattress

Comfortable, good quality mattresses often described as 'new' and 'lovely', though some guests report hard frames (resår) without adequate padding and one complaint of uncomfortable fold-out sofa bed

Bathroom & water

Basic old-style fixtures with inconsistent hot water pressure, frequently inadequate water heating, bathroom counter space lacking for toiletries, ventilation sometimes absent

Wi-Fi

Weak and unreliable, cuts in and out frequently, only stable near hallway exterior walls; distant rooms and upper floors experience poor signal

Breakfast

High-quality buffet with homemade specialties, good variety including meats/vegetables/dairy, but some guests note limited sweet pastries/croissants and emphasis on savory/salty foods; coffee quality praised

AC / heating

Air conditioning exists but unreliable and minimal effectiveness; heating adequate in winter; guests often resort to opening windows

Elevator

Exists but does not service all floor levels (no access to sub-floors between main levels); narrow corridors and external steps make building difficult to navigate

Local knowledge

Request a room overlooking the back courtyard or on upper floors away from the street to avoid weekend bar noise, especially Friday-Saturday.

The basement breakfast room with medieval barrel vaults is architecturally stunning and worth exploring even before eating.

Triple-pane windows effectively block street noise; confirm your room has them if noise-sensitive.
