Guest Reviews

• jean pierre (10/5): - J ai aimé
• Larisa (10/5): Hyvä yöpymispaikka, halpa ja aivan keskustassa. - Halpa hotelli keskustassa. Huone oli siisti, sängyt mukavat ja pehmeät. WC ja suihku käytävän päässä. Palvelu on avuliasta. Emme tienneet, että etukäteen olisi pitänyt ilmoittaa parkkipaikan tarpeesta. Mutta paikka järjestyi silti, kiitos henkilökunnalle.
• Pamela (4/5): Guest protection please - Unfortunately, my room at the Mosaic had bedbugs and I awoke with approximately 50 bites. I asked the employee what their policy was to deal with this infestation so that they could get rid of them. She consulted someone by phone and declared they have no policy, but they could refund any future nights if I left. The most they could do was change the sheets but only the following day. I had been hoping they would consider it a big enough problem that they would fumigate to ensure that no future guests would be bitten. I was deeply concerned about bringing bedbugs to my next hotel so I decided to stay the next night (mistake!) and they allowed me to wash and dry my clothes for ONLY €15, how kind. Of course, the second night, I doubled the number of swollen, itchy bites, and knew I could not stay. I did not ask for a refund of my third night so of course I had paid for three nights in exchange for about 100 bedbug bites. One problem with bedbugs is that only a certain percentage of humans manifest a reaction to their bites, so probably plenty of people are carrying them from place to place and not realizing it. If I am the one who tells you your hotel has bedbugs, believe me! Eventually some other guest will get them too, so PLEASE have a policy for eradicating them before they spread.
• Agnieszka (8/5): - The Mosaic Hotel is conveniently located close to main attractions. The price is very good for this location. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were very clean. There is no airconditioning in the hotel, but you can open the window and you will be alright. Please, check the pictures and reviews of other costumers before booking. There is a short walk throug the courtyard to get to the hotel, which some people might not like. It was perfectly safe.
• Marko (4/5): Hyvä lyhytaikaiseen majoittumiseen. - Hotelli on siisti ja henkilökunta ystävällistä. Osassa huoneista oma WC/pesutila ja osassa huoneista nämä ovat yhteiskäytössä. Mitään meteliä ei kuulunut ulkoa tai sisältä. Aamiainen tarkoittaa käytännössä leipää, mysliä ja jugurttia, eli käytännössä nopea kotiaamiainen, ei lämpimiä kuin kahvi. Mielestäni siitä ei kannata maksaa vaan mennä aamupalalle muualle. Sijainti on hyvä ja lähellä on monia paikkoja joissa voi käydä aamupalalla. Autolla tullessa, pitää muistaa parkkipaikka varmistaaa ennen saapumista. Parkkipaikka on sisäpihalla ja kannattaa jättää maksupaikalle kadulle eikä ajaa summassa pihalle suoraan. Sisäänajo ja hotellin sisäänkäynnin kohta kannattaa katsoa etukäteen Mapsista. Huoneessa on ollut aikaisemmin vesivahinko, josta otti ainakin meidän vaatteisiin ns. mummonmökkihajun joka lähti onneksi tuulettamalla. Huomiona kun lähdimme päiväksi pois huoneesta niin palatessa WC/suihkutilan lattialla oli vettä joka varmaankin tuli yhteisistä pesutiloista joka oli seinän takana. Suihkukaapin vieressä on ollut aikaisemmin ovi joka nyt oli laatoitettu umpeen. Hintahan on huokea mutta kun itse oli viettänyt töissä 50 yötä hotellissa ennen lomaa niin pitää muistuttaa, että hotelli on kahden tähden eikä sitä nosta hyvä sijainti eikä muukaan. Sängyt ovat ns. keskitasoa ja tuntuivat olevan Bonell-jousituksella eli omalle selälleni huonot pitemmällä ajalla.
• Aletta (10/5): - Die Zimmer sind groß und praktisch eingerichtet. Alles ist sehr sauber, auch die Sanitäreinrichtungen. Das Frühstück besteht aus Toast, Kochschinken, Käsescheiben, Eiern, Butter, Marmelade, verschiedenen Ceralien, Joghurt, Saft, Kaffe und Tee und wird für 5 € pro Person angeboten. Die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. ich habe mich hier wohl gefühlt und komme wieder.
• Aletta (8/5): - Was mir gefallen hat: Sehr sauberes Hotel. Gute Matratze und weiche weiße Bettwäsche. Das Zimmer war groß. Praktische Küche mit Kühlschrank und Mikrowelle. Was ich nicht so toll fand: Bei der Buchung wusste ich nicht, dass die Toiletten und Duschen auf dem Flur sind. Das sollte offener kommuniziert werden.
• Inara (6/5): - Was hard to get any sleep as room 13 was very noise and on my last night room 11 was extremely noise and was moving furniture and there was throwing and banging noise. Sadly there isnt like any other cheap hotels a cattle, te or coffee or even a cup in the room. Tv in comon room wasn’t showing much.pillows was very soft. I needed put 2 together to get any sleep. Otherwise room was good, clean and furnishings even cheap were looking nice. Staff was great.
• Dmitrij (6/5): - Stand gar nicht in der Beschreibung das es nur einzelne Zimmern sind und WC mit Dusche in der Flur als Gemeinschafts zu nutzen sind.
• Eugene (8/5): - No fridge inside room, but given cheaper pricing it is not surprising. Otherwise stay was good/room was adequate along with private bathroom I had paid for.
• Crystal (6/5): - Very convenient location. What I didn't like were the shared bathrooms but it was Hockey championships so everywhere else was fully booked. The breakfast does not cater for gluten-intolerant, vegan or vegetarians enough. There is cereal, cheese and boiled eggs. Breakfast vastly needs improving with alternative options and alternative milks.
• karoline (8/5): - .
• Pertti (6/5): Nukuttua kuitenkin tuli - Hintansa veroinen, eli ei kovin kaksinen. Parkkipaikka, jota mainostettiin ilmaiseksi, olisi pitänyt kuulemma varata etukäteen. Kulku parkkipaikalle ei onnistu turvallisesti edes tavallisella autolla, koska joku älypää on tehnyt portinsuulle kynnyksen, johon ainakin perusToyotan pohja kolahti todella ikävästi. Vierailun "kruunasi" lämpimän veden käyttökatko ja uuden työntekijän perehdyttäminen diktaattorin ottein. Ei tapahdu kuten Suomesssa. Jalakanat oli jotain vesitiiviitä muovipusseja
• Michael (8/5): Kleines Hotel - Dieses sehr kleine, auf einem (wenig gepflegten) Hinterhof befindliche Hotel ist über eine unscheinbare Tunneleinfahrt eines Hauses zu erreichen. Nur ein kleines Schild an der Tunneleinfahrt weist auf das Hotel hin. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Parkplätze sind nur sehr wenige vorhanden. Auch hier ist das Personal sehr entgegenkommend und kann bei einem frühen Check Out (bis 08.30 Uhr) auch Parkplätze einer benachbarten Firma anbieten. Motorräder dürfen nach Angaben des Personals außerhalb des Hofes ganz offiziell auch auf dem Gehweg an den Hauswänden abgestellt werden. Durch die Lage mitten im Botschaftsviertel soll es sehr sicher sein. Die Altstadt ist in wenigen Gehminuten zu erreichen. Eine nette Bar ist direkt um die Ecke. Die Zimmer sind sauber und einfach eingerichtet. Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt oder Zwischenstopp sehr zu empfehlen.
• Jorma (6/5): Value for the money if you manage by yourself. - I had a real bargain and I did not read the description very carefully. I had a shared toilet/bathroom but it was not a problem - in the hours (early) that I used it I did not have to queue. The common room allows for storing your groceries but no facilities to cook. The complimentary breakfast is not luxurious but it gets you nourished before you go to town. The location is the best of this hotel. The old town is within walkable distance and the public transportation is close and the network is extensive. It only is quite difficult to find out the lines and where they go except by trial and error and Google map. If you come by car remember to book parking in advance.
• Panu (10/5): llättvän hyvä - Aika yllättävä. Täysin mukava, siisti ja hiljainen hotelli, vailla turhia palveluja ja hyvä sijainti.
• Md (8/5): - We did not like in the beginning. It was because our special need but as we continue lived felt like family. Staff helped us a lot. I do recommend this place. Shop and other needs within walking distance.
• Laviolette (10/5): Riga xmas Dome market - Great Location... quiet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice and practical hotel - Nice hotel , with serviceminded staff. The room was quite big and practical.WiFi with high quality.Very tasty food at their restaurant!
• Philip (8/5): Rig - The hotel was fine and simple but the staff was very pleasant and accommodating
• jiaye (10/5): - The bed is a little small. Others pretty good
• Marco (8/5): Good value for Money - Good value for Money
• Tommy (8/5): Bra och enkelt - Hotellet var bra och i centrala delarna staden. Jag valde hotellet för prisets skull därmed fick jag kvalitet efter det. När jag checkade in var det bra service och fick hjälp med det jag behövde. Rummet var fint och det såg ut som rummet var ganska nya. Hade ingen dusch eller egen toalett, utan fick dela det med andra. Var ändå smidigt. Detta var inget jag fråga om, men man städade inte rummet eller tömde papperskorgar de fyra nätter jag bodde där. Funkar fint för mig, men andra kanske vill ha det på annat. Sängarna var sköna att sova i. Ljudisolerat ut, men det hördes mycket väl då andra gäster gick i korridorerna. Bra wi-fi Fruktosen var mycket Spartansk. Macka med ost och skinka. Var helt ok, hade inte förväntat mig något annat då jag kom dit.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Hervoragende Lage im Zentrum des Jugendstilviertels. Die Ausstattung ist minimalistisch, das Frühstück sehr "basic", eher ein Hostel als ein Hotel. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Perfekt für den, der diese Kombination mag.
• Verified traveler (4/5): So so - Not too clean.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Mukava pieni, siisti hotelli. Hyvät napakat sängyt mutta huonot tyynyt. Suihkut ja wc käytävällä. Aamupala tosi niukka mutta ihan riittävä. Joka päivä samat tarjottavat. Mukava henkilökunta. Huoneiden seinät kuin paperia, kaikki kuuluu mitä seinän takana tapahtuu. Hotelli isojen talojen sisäpihalla mutta löytyi hyvien opasteiden ansiosta.
• Andrejs (10/5): Good place for little money. - Stay here already 3rd time. I like it... nice people that work there and stay there. Clean, simple, and easy to get to. The location is a bit far away from the center and old town but same time only 15 min walk.
• Kjetil (6/5): Budget room - Ok hotel..you have separat bathroom.breakfest OK.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Par dušu un wc - Man nepatika tas, ka tualete un duša nebija numurā, bet gan koridorī.
• Katarina (10/5): - Helt fantastiskt!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Calm, small and simple place. Exactly what you pay for.
• Eva (10/5): Bestes Hotel für diesen Preis - Freundliches Hotel in bester Lage. Art-Nouveau - Häuser „um die Ecke“, Altstadt zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das „kleine Frühstück“ entpuppt sich als ausreichender Start in den Tag. Sehr sauber und angenehme Atmosphäre. An der Rezeption wurden alle Fragen kompetent und sehr freundlich beantwortet. Am besten fanden wir die „alternative“ Stadtführung nicht durch die Altstadt, sondern durch die Markthalle und die Vororte mit viel Information über das moderne Riga mit anregenden Gesprächen zwischen allen Teilnehmern und dem Führer, Kasbars.
• ariel (8/5): Un hotel mas - Las instalaciones son nuevas. El personal bien. El desayuno un poco pobre en cantidad y variedad y el lugar para desayunar chico. Tuve que llamar al personal para que repusieran mercadería en el desayuno ya que en la cocina no había nadie controlando. Si bien lo hicieron rápido parece que le molestó lo solicitado.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Don't judge the book by its cover - You might go through a shady alleyway to get here, but like in a Harry Potter-book, you end up in a place much more different. Through a white door you come to a very clean hotel I'd recommend to everyone.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Mukava hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla - Negatiivinen asia hotellissa ja lähinnä huoneessa oli kokolattiamatto, joka oli myös aamiais-/oleskeluhuoneessa. Allergiselle ihmiselle se on kauhistus. Ensimmäinen yö vielä menetteli, mutta sen jälkeen olo pikkuhiljaa huononi. Tukkoinen nenä, yskä ja kuumeilu oli lopullinen seuraus vietetystä ajasta huoneissa.
• Jan Inge (10/5): Flott opplevelse - God service, billig og en god seng. Bra trykk i dusjen
• Brian (8/5): Pleasant enough place to stay in Riga. - Staff was friendly, but they agreed to a daily wake-up at 7am which I never once received. They allowed me an early daily breakfast at 7:30am, but the breakfast was rather blah and didn't even include real juice (at least there was breakfast though). Perhaps they should not be blamed for arranging a taxi from a dodgy service which refused to provide a receipt. a
• KASTYTIS (10/5): SUPERB - SUPERB
• david (8/5): Great location and super helpful staff - No complaints. Breakfast could be a bit better but otherwise all good
• John (10/5): The Mosaic is a winner in a lovely part of Riga. - My second stay at the Mosaic and I would happily return in the future.
• John (10/5): A bright, colourful bargain: highly recommended! - The Mosaic was easy to find from a nearby stop on the airport shuttle bus service. The staff spoke fluent English and were most helpful, making me aware of places to eat and visit in Riga that I hadn't spotted in my researches online. Design is bright, unconventional and fun, the layout has a feel a little more like a hostel than a hotel in some ways, but no complaints here. My room was spotlessly clean, quiet and I'd opted for a private shower & wc, which were fine. The hostel comparison is echoed by the minimal room facilities, i.e. no kettle etc, but the upstairs lounge is open throughout the day and night, so if you want tea/coffee you can get it there. Breakfast consist of cereals, pastries, juice and is self service. I realise some reviewers will carp at these things, but for the price offered and the location of the Mosaic, it is an absolute bargain. Sure, the ceiling lights in my room are of a harsh fluorescent nature, but rather than deduct stars for this, my view is simply switch them off and use the uplighter instead and, to anyone who would write adversely of the place for such a reason, why not enjoy the positive bargain that is the Mosaic instead? On the corner, almost next door, there's wonderful food to be had at the Flying Frog Cafe, along Elizabetes Iela, on the way to a marina & ferry terminal nearby, is a fine Azerbaijani place called Apseron and the locale is the art nouveau district, so all in all the Mosaic is a great place to stay and I will return!
• Arne (10/5): Rimelig hotell i attraktivt område - Rimelig hotell 10 min unna gamlebyen. Positiv og hjelpsom betjening. Bad/wc deles med flere, men rent og pent. Enkel frokost. Veldig stille og fredelig. Og meget god seng.
• Maarja (8/5): Clean hotel, quiet and noisy at the same time - Friendly staff and clean facilities. Unfortunately the double room only had one blanket and when we asked for one more, they didn't have anything to give us. It was very quiet and nice in terms of street-noise - there practically was none because it is situated snuggly inside a block of famous art nouveau houses. Unfortunately the construction of the hotel itself was such that you could hear almost everything happening in the other rooms. The walls seemed to be paper thin - even when others were moving their curtains or receiving a message on their phone, I could hear it perfectly, as if it was happening in my own room. So we didn't really feel like relaxing in the room or talking - essentially, there is not much privacy, so definitely NOT the place for a couple's retreat. The breakfast was basic (granola, corn flakes, milk, cookies, juice and pre-packaged croissants), but there is a sink and a microwave oven on hand as well. The location was perfect - right at the heart of the most beautiful area of the city with plenty of cafes and restaurants for all budgets and a big park nearby, we well as several great museums.
• Hiroki (6/5): not bad - The location of this hotel is a little bit far from the city centre, but it's walkable distance. There are no TV, air conditioner, toilet, shower in a room, but a room is good just to sleep.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good value, good location. - Had a good stay. The location was close to several attractions. But far from the old town. Breakfast was basic but not spectacular. Good value.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - the hotel is nice but a bit far from the train station.Rooms are new but a bit small.
• Volga (10/5): Stay at Mosaic, December 2015 - The hotel is very cosy, the staff was very friendly to give tipps for eating out and info about the city. The room has everything needed.
• You Peng (10/5): - Nice hotel close to the Art Noveau buildlings. Walking distance to old town. Staff is very nice and helpful. :)
• Stefan (8/5): Read! - Really good choice. Excellent neighborhood. Very helpful staff. But keep in mind it is more like a hostel with double rooms and shared bathroom.
• Chris (6/5): This is a hostel. It is not a hotel - First, the good. As of this writing, everything was brand new. The carpets had the new carpet smell. The walls were newly painted. The beds were new as well as the sheets and towels. However, this is a hostel. It is not a hotel. The room consists of a single king size bed and a desk. Nothing else. No tv, radio, sink, nothing. The bathroom is shared with 4 other rooms. Plus, the bathroom and common room with a tv and kitchen are in the same area. So, dress up to take a shower or use the toilet or brush your teeth. It is close to old town, about a 10 minute walk. That is about it. Lastly, it is not visible from the road. You have to enter an alley and it is back 50 yards.
