Congress Hotel

The staff are very nice and very helpful, the food at the hotel's restaurant is very good (the burger at least), the rooms are quiet and clean, and the place is surprisingly well heated. I'd book this hotel again.

I couldn't figure out how to switch some of the lights off, ended up having to plug two of them.

The location was great, everything was close. Main bus station was 30min walk away. City bus/trolley stops are close, for example if You want to go to the national parks or big shopping centers. Bars/pubs/restaurants are close and lots of them. Didn't eat in the hotel's restaurant so can't comment on their food. Staff was friendly and helpful, especially in the reception. Breakfast was okay, they had all the usual things hotels have - sandwich stuff, omlette, beans, boiled eggs, bacon, sweet stuff and fruits, different kinds of juice, potatoes. I guess potatoes and omlette were bought as frozen but they tasted OK. Coffee (as previous commentators have noted) was great! And they had selection of Latvian cheeses, really liked that. In general they had a good selection of different cheese. Room was clean when we arrived and was kept clean (stayed 3 nights). Cleaning staff was also really polite when met in the halls.

Noisy co-clients in the halls but there's not much hotels can do about that.

Fantastic staff, appreciated the secured gated parking in the back.
