Latvia
We were on a stag trip to Hotel X-Dream. Billed as a stag hotel. Could not be anything worse. We were ripped off from the minute we landed. We booked an airport pick-up. Did not arrive, no apologies. The rooms were tiny could not even stand up. More like a broom cupboard. We booked the sauna and pool for the afternoon with strip shows. Turned out to be one 5 minute strip with a suspect woman and that was it for £20 each. Booked the bobsleigh trip for £20, bus did not turn up - waited for 4 hours (wasted) and did not get our money back. All 15 of us were so wound up we went and sat in the airport 4 hours early just to get out of the place!No aplogies! In fact the receptionist told us being English we should expect to pay prices like these. Yes but in the UK we get what we pay for!
Artilerijas St, Riga LV-1009
Superb hotel in the centre of Riga in an excellent location on the edge of the old town. The hotel is perfectly located for nightlife as most of the liveliest spots are within five minutes walk. The hotel is a little on the expensive side with rooms priced at 100 Lats, but the location more than makes up for it with the freedom monument on the hotel doorstep
