Radisson Blu Ridzene

Het is een mooi hotel, ligt precies tussen de uitgaanswijk en het centrum in. Beiden zijn op loopafstand. Kamers zijn goed en service is ook goed. Erg mooie sauna op de hoogste verdieping met uitzicht. Meestal moet je wel van te voren even aangeven dat je er gebruik van gaat maken.

P.s. Als je uitgaat neem terug toch maar een taxi, want je loopt dan door een park waar nogal wat groepen jongeren met niet allemaal de juiste bedoelingen.

This is a very nice hotel.

Location - very good in between 2 parks. Only a short 5 minute walk to the old city.

Room - room was very small for 2 people- I think we were unlucky as our room seemed the smallest on the floor plan

Restaurant - extremely good and extensive breakfast buffet served in the Pyramid Restaurant.

Sauna - great sauna on top floor with great view of Riga

Staff - very pleasant and helpful

Overall, solid hotel which I would return to if i could be guaranteed a bigger room.

Rooms: Nice, clean standard size rooms. We got a smoking room as the hotel was full, but you couldn't tell. Small details to show that it is a five star, and a nice bathroom. Cable tv with som English channels.

Bar/restaurant: Nice and cozy bar with stylish interior. The breakfast buffet was lovely and one of the better I've tasted at hotels in a while (and I've worked in the hotel business for 5 years now). The upper class restaurant also served lovely dinner in the evening.

Staff: Very polite and helpful throughout the whole stay. Extra credit to our waiter in the restaurant.

Location: Centrally situated in the embassy area with two nice parks on each side.

Total impression: Without knowing too much about hotel standards in Riga, I would say it lives up to the 5-star classification (maybe in the lower end). I would definately recommend it.

The rooms are spacious, bathroom is new with a separate shower and bath. The view from our room on the third floor looked out over the park.

The top floor of the hotel has a little fitness room with great views! Plus a sauna and relaxation room.

The best part was the breakfast -- wow the selections were fantastic with many choices.

The only bad experience was that when we arrived the hotel reservation desk said our hotel had not been paid by skoosh...I thought we were scammed, but in the end the reception was able to connect with skoosh to receive full payment. It was a little embarrasing, but in the end everything worked out!
