I had a wonderful experience at the Grand Poet Hotel And Spa, with friendly staff and a fantastic spa. The breakfast spread was extensive and delicious, though I did notice the buffet items weren't always fully stocked during peak times. The room was spacious and well-equipped, perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. however, the lack of natural light was a drawback for me. Overall, a stylish stay in a prime location, making it a solid choice for anyone visiting Riga.

Breakfast was a highlight with plenty of options, including pastries and smoked salmon. I also enjoyed dinner at the Snob Bar, though the food was hit-or-miss and could be improved.

The spa facilities were great, ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. However, the jacuzzi was disappointingly cold during my visit.

My stay at Grand Poet Hotel And Spa By Semarah was pretty solid overall. I really loved the cleanliness and the comfy room, but it was frustrating to deal with some extra charges for my child that weren’t clear upfront. The breakfast spread was impressive, though the coffee could’ve been stronger. I'd say exploring Riga from this spot was super easy, and the spa had potential, but I didn't love the crowded vibe.

Overall, my stay at the Grand Poet Hotel was good. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the old town and close to beautiful parks. The spacious room offered comfort and a peaceful atmosphere for a good night's rest, though the darker decor could be brighter. I enjoyed the extensive breakfast choices each morning, but some dining experiences fell a bit short in terms of quality.

I had a lovely stay at the Grand Poet Hotel and Spa. The location is excellent, just across from a beautiful park and only a short walk to the Old Town. The hotel itself is stunning, with immaculate cleanliness and an impressive breakfast with a wide variety of choices, including champagne. However, my room was a bit dim, and I did face a couple of minor inconveniences with bookings during my stay.

I had a lovely stay at Grand Poet Hotel and Spa. The location was perfect for exploring the city, being just a short walk from Old Town. The breakfast truly impressed me with its variety, and I appreciated the quality service throughout my visit. However, I did notice that some furnishings and spa facilities were showing signs of wear, which is something a five-star hotel should address more thoroughly. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for a relaxing getaway in Riga. 😊
