Reviews
- 2.8My opinion about this hotel SkanstePhilip Stephen - Oct 8, 2014
This hotel is very basic but was OK for a few nights stay. Parts of the hotel look scruffy, especially the stairs where the carpet is very worn (and I do mean very).
The choice of channels and the picture quality on the TV was poor, but I didn\'t travel to Riga to watch TV in a hotel room.
The location is a few blocks from the city centre - I was able to walk to the Freedom Monument in about 30 minutes.
There is no WiFi but there is internet access from a computer opposite the reception desk. You can find free WiFi around the city and in the Galerija Centrs shopping centre.
Breakfast was OK (cereal, coffee, tea, bread/toast, cold meats, boiled eggs, suasage) - enough to fuel you for the first part of the day.
There is a Prisma supermarket a short walk away where you can buy items to store in the fridge in your room.
Overall, if you are looking for a cheap hotel and don\'t mind the scruffiness or the walk to the centre then consider this hotel for a short stay. DO NOT expect this hotel to be like the usual tourist-style hotel, or you will be disappointed. - 4.2Impresiones del hotel SkansteGiacomo - Aug 17, 2010
Very quiet hotel, kind service. Major constraint: very hot rooms. A bit far from town center but well connected by tramway (line T3 on Valdemara Bld, no more than 10 minutes)
