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.

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. 😊
