Forums Boutique Hotel

The hotel is practically next to every major atraction: central galeria is on the same road, old town's churches and buildings are within 4 or 5 minutes walking, freedom monument And opera house about 6 minutes walking. There is a mall with a supermarket and a movie theater across the street (stockman) and the central market and coach station are within 4 or 5 minutes walking too. Breakfast is good and the girl that serves it is the most beautiful Latvian i've seen. Free wifi, tv and a mini-fridge in ur room. Room is small but perfect for the price. Overall service was excellent. I would definitely stay again.

I was hard-pressed to find anything wrong with this hotel. It had a friendly staff, great location, bountiful hot/cold breakfast, and assistance with tourist activities. I'd highly recommend - great value too!

It was a very good location for a budget hotel. Clean comfortable and the food was fine.

I really lucked out staying here. It was great. Close to everything. Can walk to market, train station and old city easily. Movie Multiplex across the avenue, if you need a break. I stayed here 7 nights over two weeks. I used it as a launch pad to visit other cities. They were able to hold my luggage as i only needs a couple days worth to visit other cities. Breakfast was solid. Bed was good for European standards. Good size rooms, with Jazcuzzis. Room 56 much better than the one is Room 55. But the toilet in Room 56 was angled weirdly, not sure how a big person would manage. Ladies behind desk were friendly and helpful. Without a doub, would stay here again. Rained alot when I was there, so bring umbrella.

Forums is easy to find, just off the main bus #22 from/to the airport. Located at the edge of the Old Town, an easy five-minute walk to the center of Old Town and the river, and ten minutes from the main squares and restaurant areas. Hotel was small but clean and cozy, Rooms are compact, but certainly adequate for basic traveler needs. Breakfast was plentiful, adequate and tasty. Staff were courteous and helpful. I would recommend this hotel for price, convenience and cleanliness.

Excellent location. The room was a bit small. The breakfast was very good and the staff kept watch and cleared tables and replenished food as soon as necessary. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

Convenient location to the bus station (just a short walk through a pedestrian subway). Nice room, huge bed, refrig, pedestal fan. Good breakfast. The Ligo festivities June 21-23 were fantastic. Music, dancing, eating &drinking, and flower wreaths on everyone. Not to be missed.

The location is very convenient and a great deal for the price. Mind the parking, however -- one has to park across the street (or three) and you have to pick the right garage, or else you pay through the nose. The staff are highly competent and provide great service; the cafe is great. The room decor and the quality of the mattresses are stuck somewhere back in time, I'm not sure where. But it's all very clean.

The hotel offered what it promised. 2-3 star comfort, but nothing can beat the nearness to what we needed - coach station, train station, old square, mall, cafes/restaurants. OK, so all of this made it quite noisy to sleep at night with club music pouring in till wee hours. But we were quite exhausted and feel asleep.

location is perfect, short walking everywhere.Lovely old house,but modernized.Very big minus for towels which so worn out.
