Our guest reviews

great place to stay when in Riga

Nigel J 2/26/2020 TripAdvisor review

Hotel in a great position situated just 5-10 min walk into the Old Town Arrived to a warm welcome and although turned up early the room was available. Breakfast was ok but a bit limited and no variation each day. Although hotel is situated next to a main road the double glazing was excellent and no noise was heard making for a restful sleep Thanks to Lana Grinberga and all her tam for an enjoyable stay

Disappointing

Clare Marie D Friends getaway - 1/4/2020 TripAdvisor review

Staff all spoke fluent English, which was great. On checking in I was informed that there was a fault with the room, but there were no other rooms available so I had to have the room assigned. I went up to the room and discovered that the toilet wouldn’t flush. I went downstairs to report the concern and the reception staff told me they would be up in 15 minutes. The member of staff came upstairs, to try and flush the toilet l, to which they were unable to do so. I was then told that there was nothing they could do and I would have to remain in the room as the hotel was fully booked. I raised that the toilet not functioning was a problem and that it did need to be resolved. At this point the member of staff stated that there was one room available. This room was exceptionally small, cramped and poor decor. However the toilet did work. The staff were poor and did not reflect the Ibis reputation, which I found disappointing. I do not believe I should have been checked into a room with a known fault. It took longer than the 15 minute satisfaction guarantee.

Opposite the train station

867bm Solo travel - 12/19/2019 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is located opposite the main train station and about 10 minutes away from the bus terminal. The staff at the reception is friendly and helpful. The rooms are ibis standard. Clean and functional. Breakfast selection is ok with plenty of local food in addition to the usual hotel fare.

Experience in Riga

GordonK601 Business - 12/17/2019 TripAdvisor review

It’s not safe in Riga since when I come out for dinner . I saw pickpocket by three guys surrounded suddenly the old woman and ran away. A policeman came out right away and caught one. But wonder there is no CCTV inside the tunnel. Then we take cab going back hotel after dinner to keep us away danger. The corridor has no light until you pass through saving the power. However, I have travelled 30+ countries , this is the first time and the first impression is very poor since LED in power consumption is pretty low at all.

Dear Gordon, Thank You for taking your time to write a review about Ibis Riga Centre hotel! Unfortunately, there are situations like this in the tunnels of the center of Riga. The police is informed and Riga Municipality is doing everything to prevent such occurrences. Accor group hotels are involved in sustainable development program. According in order to save energy, the hotel corridors are equipped with light sensors. I'm sorry to hear that you found the LED power consumption to be very slow. I have already informed Maintenance department manager to find a solution to this problem. Once again thank you for your feedback. We will hope that You will give us a opportunity to look after You again in the future. Kind regards, Lana Grinberga

Good for short stay

PG1558 Business - 9/25/2019 TripAdvisor review

Hotel is very well located, but its standard is a bit below typical Ibis. The weakest point is breakfast (very limited choice of bread, hardly eatable scrambled eggs) served in two small rooms in a cellar.

Dear PG1558, Thank You for taking Your time to write a review about ibis Riga Centre hotel! Thank You for highlighting the location of the hotel. Unfortunately, basement is the only place to held breakfast. Overall we have three breakfast rooms. Please accept my sincerest apologies about our breakfast staff who did not inform You that we have two more breakfast rooms. We strive to provide a proper breakfast service in the hotel, and we are doing everything possible to ensure the order of breakfast at the most demanding hours, so that every guest can find everything he needs and get all help we can offer to satisfy guests wishes. We are serving high quality products and are trying to serve different kind of products. Sorry for having to deal with issues during breakfast, I will forward your comment onto our Food & Beverage department manager to find a solution for this issue. We hope we may have another opportunity to welcome you back to our hotel in the near future for a more positive experience. Best regards, Lana Grinberga

Decent room, breakfast chaotic

billho2019 Couples - 9/21/2019 TripAdvisor review

Breakfast was chaotic - you have to walk from food area, down the corridor for tea and coffee, then walk further down to the dining areas. Also, toaster above foods - gets in the way of others when you're waiting for your toast to be done. No cutlery for a while as dish washer could not keep up with the number of guests. Breakfast items were also limited and quite basic compared to other Accor hotels I've stayed in. Another negative... server at the bar Aldis seemed bored and disinterested. Had a bit of an attitude so we were not too pleased. Apart from that, location was great. Room was clean, quiet, well maintained and decent. Reception staff members were pleasant and helpful.

Dear billho2019, Thank you for taking Your time to write about Your experience on Tripadvisor. Your feedback is very important to us as it highlights where we need to make changes to give everyone a comfortable stay. Thank You for highlighting the location of the hotel and the work of the housekeeping and reception staff. I am happy to hear it and it will be my pleasure to share these comments to all the team. Please accept my sincerest apologies about the breakfast area which seemed to be uncomfortable for you. Unfortunately, it is the only place to held breakfast. Our breakfast staff is doing their best to regularly change cutlery and replenish food. I am sorry to hear about Your disappointment with bartender's attitude. I will transfer this review to Food and Beverage department manager to find a solution for this issue. Thank you once again for your feedback and it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Best regards, Lana Grinberga

Vibrating hotel in the centre of Riga

Ernst240 Friends getaway - 8/20/2019 TripAdvisor review

This central hotel in Riga is vibrating whenever a bus is passing. Very uncomfortable. The breakfast room is located in the Basement, but breakfast is good. Dinner in the restaurant was not good and the staff does not speak English well.

My stay in Riga

ANO885 Friends getaway - 8/3/2019 TripAdvisor review

I stayed for 2 separate nights. It was very clean and all the staff - particularly reception staff were very very good. The breakfast was not as creative as other Ibis stays I have had...could have been better. I thought the the 10 Euro evening meal offer was not good publicity for Ibis

Perfect location

Nice modern rooms in a historic building on a perfect location. Close to old town, central station and market. The communication in the English language can be better, in particular for the breakfast staff.

New Year in Riga

isobelt174 Couples - 1/9/2019 TripAdvisor review

The hotel is ideally situated,close to train and bus station, restaurants and a big shopping centre as well as the main sights of Rigs. Our room was fairlyspacious a Dad is always the case with Ibis hotels, it was very clean . Wifiand TV were good .breakfast was served from early until late mornings during there was a wide choice. Sometimes queues built up but the delay did not last long

Close to everything

carolinemH990IP Solo travel - 1/2/2019 TripAdvisor review

This hotel is close to the train station and bus station. There is a department store and cinema nearby. The old town is 10 minutes' walk away. The receptionists were helpful. The barman on the night I arrived didn't seem too friendly. The hotel is great value for money. The only minuses are the rambling sounds you hear from the bus tram lines on the street and the breakfast room doesn't look out to anything as such as it is in the basement.

Dear carolinemH990IP, Thank You for taking the time to review Your recent stay at ibis Riga Centre hotel. I’m particularly pleased that You found our staff to be so friendly and they all made Your stay personable. Rest assured that I will be sharing Your kind words and comments with them.

Very central and helpful staff

npalacios2018 Solo travel - 9/18/2018 TripAdvisor review

I liked the closeness to the center and the nice dark bread with spices.What I did not like it was the shaking floor, every time the guest ws walking in the upper floor. Maybe it is difficult to do something with it, but the air condition could be improved.

GREAT LOCATION VERY SMALL ROOMS AND FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF

Ashish P Business - 8/11/2018 TripAdvisor review

My first time in Riga .... I ended up in this Ibis ... rooms are pretty small even for Ibis standards atleast that is how my room was ... hardly any space to move beside the bed ... and top on that power went out for 45 mins and wifi was off for about an hour and half ... but the front office staff and the general manager should be given 10/10 for their friendly attitude and great service .... i would simply forget everything else and come back to this place ... and guys remember location is a great +++++ due to the power outage the GM offered a complimentary drop to airport for me on the day of checkout as well as a token of appreciation for the issues faced ...

Nice hotel

kiwitraveller49 Couples - 7/2/2018 TripAdvisor review

We enjoyed our stay at the Ibis Riga. The hotel is close to the train station and reasonably close to the old town. We left by the airport minibus which goes from just across the road. Our room was spacious by Ibis standards, but we were disturbed by a neon billboard across the road which flashed all night. Breakfast was chaotic, the area is not big enough for the number of rooms and although the staff were very good at clearing tables (sometimes before they were finished with) there were people who weren't able to get a seat. The standard of the food was good. One evening we had the two course plus drink menu, which was only 10€ and was very nice. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful. We would recommend this hotel, if you don't mind a short walk into the old town.

Dear Guest, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the ibis Riga Centre. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. I am sorry to hear that you had problems during breakfast! Our staff is doing their best do ensure the order during the breakfast! I am glad to hear that our reception staff took care of you! Thank you again for sharing your experience and recommending ibis Riga Centre hotel, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Kind regards, Andris Krūklis

Riga Centre stay

robjs2018 Solo travel - 2/4/2018 TripAdvisor review

I didn't do much research and was unfamiliar with Riga. The hotel was very convenient to the central railway station which was great, and reasonably accessible to the old part of the city. At first I was a little underwhelmed by the locality, but it grew on me quickly and everywhere I wanted to go was an easy walk, and the easy access to the main railway station made it a great place to base oneself.
