Karavella Hotel is 3 STAR but should 3.5. Karaella is very nice. Services is more helpful and kind. Breakfast is Excellent Buffets. Hotel is close to Shopping. Local shopping is close the hotel. Walking from the hotel to tram stop about within 7 mins and taken to shopping about 10-15 minutes. Lots of nice places in Riga. There are very... More

The hotel has a good restaurant and comfortable rooms, as well as friendly staff and reasonable prices. The location is a bit out of the center, but a quick tram ride is all you need to reach the main part of town. They also took helpfully accpept payment in euros as well as lats. More

We stayed two nights and I was a little uneasy, because of reviews, I was reading here. However, if you don't have a problem with old Eastern Block charme you can have an ok stay here. The brekfast was a lot better than most describe it here: fresh veggies, everything replaced until the end friendly service and worth the money,... More

stayed there for 2 nights with 11 guys. it seemed a pleasent enough place for the price. until when checking out the hotel the receptionist and security guard who appearedby magic [none speaking english,whilst the same receptionist did the day before] charged us 200 lats before we could leave. the security guard took the mini bus drivers keys and frettened...

Very dated room, with a very large window which you could fully open, and we were on the 7th floor! Tiny little restaraunt/bar on the upper floor with no character at all. We were on a lads trip so it didn't matter so much, but wouldn't recommend for romance. The building itself was proper ugly and the view we had... More

We stayed for 2 nights in mid-September 2007 & found the staff to be really friendly. The room was a bit dated but for the amount it cost we were pleased with the size and cleanliness - couldn't fault it for a place to lay your head for the night! The breakfast was well-replenished and lots of good fresh coffee... More

Stayed here end of May 07 for 4 nights. Having read some other reviews did not know what to expect with it being my first time to eastern Europe. The Hotel was positioned about 30 mins walk from the Old Town (main area for sightseeing and drinking). Not a great looking building and some of the local area did not... More

wel this place is not good our room was so small it was bad. When we got there it seemed ok this was a big mistake on the first night my freind cut his thumb there was a bit of blood on the sheets ok so we thought when we got back to the hotel later we where charged 56... More

OK so it's a long way from the centre (2 or 3km) but the tram stops five minutes up the road and run very frequently until quite late. OK so it's a Stalinist monstrosity, but at least it's got a bit of character to it unlike many bland chain hotels today! OK there's a railway yard with 24-hour shunting; this,... More
