Hotel Garden Palace, Riga (LV) - Deals & Reviews

Charming but staff could improve

Waking up in a spacious suite with well-decorated interiors was delightful, as was enjoying the serene atmosphere of the historical surroundings.

The front desk staff’s lack of responsiveness to our requests was frustrating, and the breakfast selection could have benefitted from more variety.

the garden palace has spacious rooms with clean bathrooms and a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard. it's well located just a short stroll to the old town, making sightseeing super easy. the free wifi was reliable and really helpful during my stay.

the breakfast could use a bit more variety.

Consider using the shared terrace for a peaceful place to relax and enjoy a unique view of the city, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

Just a perfect match for a brief stop-in in Riga with extraordinarily good value for money. The cozy room had reliable free Wi-Fi that made planning our day super easy. Make sure to check out the lovely inner garden while you're there.

The room was cramped, the smallest double I've ever seen, with a bed made from two singles pushed together. The floor was stained, and the TV faced the foot of the bed. There was no sitting space—just standing or perching on the end of the bed to watch. The curtain gap let in too much early summer light. The shared terrace was weirdly set up without chairs, and the bathroom showed some charm with antique tiles, but overall, it felt pretty shabby.

The hotel features a lovely ambiance, and we enjoyed watching a ballet performance featuring renowned stars during our stay. The spacious room accommodated my family comfortably, making it a decent base for exploring the charming streets of Riga with our child.

My kids wished for more activities or facilities suitable for families.

Recommend for a weekend getaway

Comfortable room, convenient amenities, free Wi-Fi in rooms made our stay enjoyable as we explored the city from the central location just 1 km away.

There was nothing I didn't like.

the garden palace is ideally located close to all the main attractions in the old town and the bus station, which made exploring super easy. I appreciated the strong wifi. it worked well in the reception where there were actual chairs, making it comfy to use.

a lovely stay with beautiful courtyard fountain but don't expect 4-star amenities

Our time at Hotel Garden Palace was memorable with its charming inner garden featuring a delightful fountain. The room was cozy and had reliable free Wi-Fi that added great convenience to our stay!

The Garden Palace in Riga caught my attention with its antique decor and location right at the beginning of the Old Town. My deluxe room was spacious, featuring a comfortable bed that I truly appreciated. I found the furniture and bathroom a bit worn out. Upon arrival, the male receptionist welcomed us warmly, which was a nice touch, yet we faced a hassle when the payment terminal didn’t function correctly, forcing us to withdraw cash from an ATM. The atmosphere felt somewhat off, as we frequently encountered staff who weren't responsive, especially the men stationed at the locked entrance gate. Breakfast offered a decent selection, but I noticed some items ran out quickly, especially the bacon. I did manage to enjoy my meal, although it could have been replenished more efficiently. One thing that stood out was the shared balcony. I wasn’t completely comfortable with that arrangement. I left feeling the hotel had charm but wasn't quite living up to its potential. All in all, I wasn’t eager to extend my stay here, so I would likely look for another option next time I visit Riga.
