Garden Palace Hotel

this is a big old hotel in a brilliant location, but shambolic. some staff are helpful, some not. not good: - front gate to complex is always locked, so you have to wait for doorman to let you in or out. - only 8 tv channels, all non-news, most disney, while i was there, so basically no news or sport in any language because of dispute with provider. unlikely to be fixed soon. no restaurant, except for breakfast, and no café, contrary to hotels.com info. 1 v uncomfortable chair and no bedside table or shelf. BUT hot water, enough sockets, and Wi-Fi worked

Although I agree with some of the other reviews that this hotel looks dated, its 'faded grandeur' actually adds to its charm. The 'disappointing' points were: the bar and restaurant being closed for refurbishment but we were unaware of this until our arrival; and the noise from late-night clubbers in the streets outside. However, I would still recommend this hotel as a well-located, very reasonably priced place to stay in Riga.

Very central, friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and comfortable yet could use some renovation. Overall, good value for money. Enjoyed my stay.

Charming hotel but I was shocked how small my room was, and that it only came with one pillow. The carpet also looked like at least 4 people were murdered on it.

The hotel room is super tiny, tv did not work, noisy night club plays cool techno/house music till past 6am... the hotel transfer to the airport is a rip off at 20 euro when its possible to find a taxi that will charge half that price. location is nice, construction in front of it. no bar or cafe that you can sit in, despite having a beautiful garden with tables and chairs and a lovely fountain. Shower does not drain, shower head was broken... and so on.

Horrible hotel. Bar and restaurant were closed during 5 days stay without notification upfront. Personal unfriendly/ unprofessional. Never seen such a horrible place. Requested a refund when I arrived because I wanted to leave right away,but was not possible. During breakfast not 1 open seat to sit. One coffee machine for 55 rooms.

Conveniently situated for Old Town Riga visit. Charming old building with a beautiful garden area. Down the street from numerous restaurants, bars, and historical sites.

Could be cleaner and hotel staff could be friendlier. Location is good for old town. Ornated decor - like stepping back in time. Bathroom needs some work.

The hotel policy is to check in at 2.00pm but they would not allow us to do so until 3.30pm. No explanation or apology was given. The rooms were terrible. The mattress had big PEE stains all over it and the bed came with only one pillow and a thin bed sheet The carpet was very dirty and probably had no been cleaned for weeks. During my 3 day stay the towels were changed only the once, even though I use the 'make my room' door door handle sign each day Beware this is not a four star hotel and more like a hostel Unacceptable given the price paid! Expedia please investigate this hotel

Great Location and reasonable price. Need to update old furniture
