Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Daugava Riga
Amazing, recently renovated room with a beautiful view of Riga Old Town and very friendly staff. Breakfast could be improved - it felt disorganized, with queues for coffee, empty food trays and a limited selection. Also, additional parking charges weren’t clearly communicated.
