There is no doubt this hotel has seen better years. Having said that, we enjoyed our stay at Radisson Daugava. Business class room was spacious and enough facilities. A small balcony was included, however without any chairs or table. Breakfast was satisfactory however it could have offered a wider selection. Staff at hotel was plenty, however very few with good english and even fewer with a smile on their faces. Location of hotel is on the "wrong" side of the river with Old Town and City Centre left at a distance over the main bridges. Taxis waiting around the clock outside the hotel will take you anywere for a reasonable price. There is nothing to do or see in the vicinity of the hotel, however a huge galleria, Riga Plaza, only about 5 minutes drive and of course Old Town and Heart of Riga over the bridge, at about 5-7 minutes drive. Those who come by car the hotel offer non-security parking outdoors for 5 lats per 24h. There is a 2 lane swimming pool and fitness centre that are open till 23h. Hair and nails saloon as well as massage services are offered in the building.
