Nicely decorated, modern and comfortable hotel in a very central location within a few minutes’ walking distance to the old town and city centre. Good breakfast. Overall good value for money.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Grand Poet. Great location, with an easy walk to everywhere, yet away from the noisy crowds. Lovely, spacious room, comfortable bed with super soft sheets, beautiful bathroom also. Breakfast was plentiful, including lactose and gluten free options. The Snob bar staff was also very friendly, reserving a table and turning the tv to tennis channel for us. All in all one of the best hotel stays and would happily stay here again!

Great food and service. Just few recommendations for improvement:the room was looking in the courtyard, and had only blackout curtains. That means we have to keep them drawn day time as well otherwise we would be seen from the opposite rooms. Also, there is not a Cafe in the hotel.

The spa was disappointing as there were toddlers in the jacuzzi using it as a swimming pool so you could not get in . The middle room for breakfast is very canteen like which is a pity . Breakfast was amazing- the rooms are spacious. We had a lovely weekend so central.

We had a fantastic stay in Grand Poet Hotel. We booked the Deluxe room and we were given room 419, which had a fantastic view over the park and Riga old town. There was plenty of room for 3 people including our son. Room was tastefully decorated and super clean. We utilized the valet parking which was really convenient. Charge was 30 Euros per night. Hotel was walking distance from everything, including all the nice restaurants in the old town. SPA was nice, but a bit overcrowded at all times. Highly recommended.

Luxurious and very elegant hotel. £30 million spent on it recently. Even standard rooms were lovely and swanky. Staff were so so nice. Walk to old town just across the park. Or trams to zoo and river. All very close by. Breakfast was amazing with so much choice. Well worth it.
