ibis Riga Centre
Check in service was very nice and friendly, room was spacious and clean. I stay over the night, had no breakfast, so cant evaluate it. I for sure would give 5 stars, except I find it cold in the morning and conditioner didnt work, only central heating, which I only saw before leaving..
