Review: Avalon Hotel, Riga, Latvia - January, 2015

http://ift.tt/1BpZr4v I recently stayed at the Avalon Hotel, whilst on a short break to Riga. The hotel is within a 5 minute walk of Riga Central Station, and is only a street away from Riga Old Town. A taxi to the hotel from the airport cost 15 Euro. I paid 208 Euro with booking.com for a superior room with queen size bed, which looked over the railway line at the front of the hotel. The room was warm, quiet and very inviting. The bed was soft and comfortable. The bathroom was modern and shiny with a shower over the bath, and complimentary shower gel and shampoo provided daily. With my superior room I also received a voucher for a complimentary two course evening meal in the hotel restaurant. This was a good bonus, although I only ate there once, and wasn't particularly enamoured with the food. The breakfast buffet was much better and was quite extensive. On weekdays breakfast lasts until 10:00, and at 10:00 the staff clear it away promptly - a little too promptly for my liking, and this needs addressing as it is not comfortable being rushed to grab food before it disappears. Reception staff and cleaners were very friendly and helpful. The building is centered around an internal central atrium. Rooms which are not superior face on to this, so in my opinion it is worth paying extra to upgrade to a superior room. Overall I liked this hotel, and would certainly recommend it to others visiting Riga. To visit the Avalon Hotel website, click here: http://ift.tt/1zaFkK3 .
