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.

- Food quality; - Friendly staff; - Very good place in the center of Old Riga; - Nice and clean;

Kind and friendly staff who always went out of their way to help with anything I needed. Breakfast was great with sufficient enough selection of both sweet and savoury options. Also, the location is great, only a few minutes from the city centre as well as the main bus and train stations so everywhere is close.

The location is excellent; it is near the bus stop that travels to and from the airport. The best part, though, is the receptionist. She is one of the best receptionists I have encountered in my travels. She goes above and beyond her role by remembering our room and providing us with excellent suggestions (Sadly, I did not get her name, but she was the receptionist from 13-15.08.2025 - kudos to her)

The location is perfect. Walking distance from every monument and place to be visited. It's next to a very busy street, but the window was facing to an inner patio, so it was quiet. Our arrival was a bit messy because my in-laws didn't book their room correctly, but the worker at the reception was very helpful and had lots of patience, which, in the end, fixed the situation and offered them a cheaper option than the room they had "booked".
