Very clean and staff very polite. Breakfast basic but sufficent plenty of bread and coffee. Taxi from airport was ?15 but ripped off on way back as it was ?20 dispite having a set price on hotel otic board.

The Toss Hotel is not convenient to town, and the hotel lacks any form of atmosphere. I did discover the trams so that made journeys into riga much more affordable, a taxi from the Bus Station cost about ?19 and taxis from Riga about ?15. So use the trams, they are easy, frequent and affordable. The hotel lists a range of services, like a spa, sauna etc but they were not available when I choose the use and was asked to give an hours notice. Not really the idea!

The name of this place might seem rather strange, but don't let that put you off! I stayed here for four nights at the end of August. The building itself is a former flax mill (I think), and the conversion has been impressively done. I found the rooms clean, the bathroom large and the ceilings high. Everything is impressively modern. The staff at the hotel were helpful, but some of them spoke more English than others. Having said that, all of them spoke better English than I speak Latvian. The hotel has a ten-pin bowling alley attached. This proved very handy, as there was heavy rain on one of the days I was in Riga. Again, this facility was impressively modern. The hotel is about 5 mins walk to a tram stop, and the tram takes about 15 minutes to get to the centre of town. It is cheap at a flat rate fare of 0.30 Lats (about 30p). The tram line does go through the run-down Moscow district, much of which seems to be falling down. That in itself is quite interesting, though not highlighted in most guidebooks.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, however, there was no air conditioning so it was difficult to sleep at night. Also, the beds were were short and narrow. There was also only a net curtain and a thin, almost transparent, pale green curtain hanging which meant that at 3.30am the room got as light as the day outside and it was difficult to sleep. Breakfast was OK, although not a great choice - cold omelette and sausage for the 3 mornings we ate there! However, there was also plenty tea, coffee, juice, bread/toast, cheese, cold meat and yoghurts. The staff spoke great English and were helpful. The area the hotel was in wasn't great but better than some of the areas you travelled through on the tram to get into the city centre. The 30p trip into the town was a bargain! We enjoyed the bowling and snooker across the courtyard.

Stayed at this hotel for 4 nights midweek. The hotel is very clean and functional (bit like a travel lodge). Breakfast is in the Bowling Centre Restaurant - very continental - cold meat, cheese, yogurt and bread (which could be toasted) and the staff were very nice with a good command of English. The hotel is a bit out the way but transport was easy - tram (30 pence per journey regardless of length). £5 for taxi. Tram took about 15 minutes.
