Also we needed to stay over-night, but had a bit more time. Hotel itself is new or well maintained. Very well located righ on the boarder of the historical center and seems also close to the train station, but no noise at all. For whatever reason we were offered a complimentary dinner and it was suprizingly good. Also since we... More

We spent our Christmas eve in Hotel Avalon in Riga. The Hotel is directly next to the beautiful old town, everything is in walking distance. The rooms were clean but not too big and the staff was very nice and helpful. The restaurant (dinner as well as the breakfast) is excellent as is the bar. We really couldn't find something... More

This hotel is right on the edge of Old Town. In front of the hotel is a main road, a tram line and the main railway. Old Town is behind the hotel. Sound proofing against outside noise is, however, just about perfect. Sound proofing against internal noise is not. All the rooms are based around a central atrium. When they... More

Was there in november 2011 on a business seminar. Rooms were okay, but nothing more than okay. Bathroom looked nice at first view, but on further inspection you could see the cracks, and the marks. Had a nice deep bathtub, but the shower had no water pressure what so ever, which made it very difficult to rinse out shampoo from... More

We loved the Hotel Avalon and being in Riga. The location on the edge of the old town was excellent, and just around the corner from a friendly Italian Bistro. We booked through the 1bigeurope web site and got a better price than booking direct. We stayed four nights and had a free meal thrown in each night, though the... More

Just returned from 4 nights at the Avalon. Firsty visit to Riga. Lovely city lots to see and do. Hotel is so centrally placed. From airport easy enough to get bus but if you have any mobility issues would recommend a taxi straight to front door as you may have to negiotate the underpasses with a case. Do check your... More

Stayed here for 5 nights in October. Great location minutes from winding streets of old town. Airport bus will drop you off across the road at the Stockman department store-cross by underpass and walk back . Bus for the airport leaves from the stop outside hotel.0.70L one way. Journey takes about 30 mins. Very comfortable rooms of a decent size,... More

The Avalon is easy to get to from Riga airport. Use the Number 22 bus from outside the airport, it costs 0.70 lats for a single journey. The bus had an LED display inside which shows the next stop - get off at 'stockmann'. The journey takes around 30-40mins. When we arrived at the hotel we were told there was... More

Excellent location for exploring, very close to airport bus connection (cost 5 Lats- £6.50). Good quality rooms and service, with an exceptional breakfast choice served from 7 til 11 a.m. More
