The name of the hotel displayed outside is 'Viesnica Domus Hotel' instead of 'Rija Domus Hotel' as advertised. The hotel is in the middle of all the top attractions of the city and, as such, all types of shops and restaurants can be found in its close vicinity. The room was clean and adequately furnished but the shower area in the en-suite bathroom is too small with slow water flow and the soap dispenser can be a hazard at the time of taking shower. The buffet breakfast was awesome with many unconventional options. The staffs at the reception were polite and helpful. Overall the hotel is one of the best options to stay in Riga for an easily affordable price.

The hotel is advertised as a three star hotel, but it should be 1.5 star. The only advantage is its proximity to Riga’s rail and bus stations and the historic neighborhood. The rooms are very basic, the plumbing is old and smelly, and the pillow and blankets had odor. On Friday night and the weekend there is loud music coming from the square nearby. It is a budget option but I wish I spent more money to get something more comfortable.

The location of this hotel is very central and the staff that I encountered were very friendly. One thing just to note is that whilst the bed and room were fine to sleep in they did remind me of student halls/ dorm rooms, very basic looking so if aesthetic is something that you are looking for and you want a room that looks more luxurious - you wont find it here. That is not a negative and I would happily stay here again esp as the soundproofing from the street was very good.

The location is excellent, the staff are friendly and efficient. The room is noisley both from the nearby pub but also creaks and plumbing noise. The curtains dont block the light at all. There seemed to be some issues with the plumbing. The cold water wasnt flowing in the evening despite working fine earlier in the day. The next day brown water gushed from the tap before cleaner water flowing.

Central location; clean and comfortable room
I had a great stay here with my daughter. We were given a room on the 6th floor (converted loft area) and we hardly heard anyone else the whole stay. The receptionist was very friendly at check in and check out. There was plenty of choice for breakfast too. Centrally located too. Will be back with the rest of our family.

The hotel was central and perfectly located for walking to most of the tourist attractions. The rooms were very basic, and it is the first time we were left ear plugs in the room (there are no carpets on any of the floors and the walls are wafer-thin so all conversations and walking about everywhere can be heard). Breakfast choice was good and better than expected with hot scrambled eggs, meatballs, croissants, toast, jam, cheese, tomatoes, cucumber etc. Room for luggage to be stored before check-in was useful. Plenty of gastropubs and restaurants nearby. Worth getting on double dekker to get your bearings and see the whole of Riga which is very beautiful.
