Forums Boutique Hotel

To start with the hotel is in an excellent location well within easy transport links and walking distance of main locations and restaurants. It’s in the old town too which is a top area for exploring. The staff member who works mostly week day time was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful with suggestions. I was originally booked into an economy double for the duration of my stay. This was from a Thursday to Monday but when I originally booked I couldn’t book like this which I think was a glitch with the system on booking.com as the same room was available. Unfortunately the room I stayed in the first night looked over onto the street which is right next to a back packers hostel and a few bars. I believe this may be the situation with a number of the economy rooms as when I asked to be moved there was nothing else they could offer elsewhere. There was nothing else wrong with the room, and if you aren’t a light sleeper then probably could manage it but I really struggled. In the end I was able to upgrade to a more expensive room for the rest of the stay which was on the other side of the hotel. I didn’t encounter any of the noise issues. Some small points which I found a bit odd. They had double beds in both rooms but 2 x single duvets which is a bit annoying. Also unlike lots of international hotels they did have kettles and tea bags!! But no milk. I did source my own milk from breakfast, but it is easy to provide the little long life milk options for rooms. Others have remarked on breakfast. It is absolutely fine, but worth noting there are a lot of local options, but there is still plenty of choice including for veggies like me so I didn’t have an issue.

Fantastic location, very clean room and facilities, comfortable bed, was greeted by the most courteous receptionist who described all the local attractions and made us feel very welcome

Absolutely loved this hotel, location was perfect, when we checked in the receptionist was so friendly and helpful, her name was Maria and every day of our stay she gave us great tips on where to visit and was exceptional at her job. Can't recommend this hotel enough.

All was wonderful. Very caring and forthcoming staff. We enjoyed every minute of the stay. The room was very clean and the jacuzzi bath was amazing. The balcony made us feel like cats on the roof. :) We felt well taken care of. Had the sparkling wine and fruit platter ordered upon arrival which was amazing. The room had bathrobes and slippers so it was very nice after the jacuzzi to just lay down in the very comfy bed and drift off to sleep. The breakfast was also amazing. It had everything and it tasted great. The stay was so good we felt sorry we only booked a one nights stay as we did not want to leave.

I stayed in the hotel second time,last time was exactly a year ago. I booked a top floor room with a balcony and jacuzzi.I love it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent-a big choice and all fresh and tasty. I left my luggage there as checkout was 12:00 but my flight was at 23:00. Location is perfect in old Riga a few steps away from the restaurants,pubs and shops.The public transport -trams,buses,trolleybuses ,minicabs,train station,bus station all steps away. There is a canal boat 2 minutes walking distance.
