Tallink Hotel Riga

The location was great! But apart from that, this hotel doesn’t deserve 4 stars.

For the hotel being 4 stars, it just didn’t fit up to expectations. I’ll sum up the main things that we were disappointed about: 1. The windows in the room were locked and not being able to be opened. 2. The tv didn’t really work. 3. There were some stains on the carpet in the room. On top, upon our arrival we had empty vanity set. 4. The reception staff could be friendlier, we didn’t really feel welcome. 5. They state that a taxi to Jūrmala from the hotel would cost 26€ but when we called a taxi, we were charged 35€ instead. That’s not fair so beware of that. 6. The bed was awfully soft and uncomfortable. The mattress was constantly moving. I personally woke up every morning with back pain from it. 7. The rooms aren’t well isolated so we were able to hear every noise coming from the corridor. 8. Strange bathroom smell. The breakfast buffet was fine, however, the photos are misleading. I thought there would be more gluten free options when there was practically just one bread laying around.
