NB Hotel
The hotel is quiet and has good facilities. They offer a great breakfast. Room was clean but could use some repairs such as the caulking around the shower and the floor of the shower. The towels also need renovating. Overall we were happy with our choice.

Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Daugava Riga
I felt the hotel rooms were a bit run down and did not offer value for money. Additional payment to use the spa/pool facilities was unexpected given the cost of stay
