The hotel is located in the old Jewish quarter of town, just a 2-minute walk from a large Jewish School. It offers a good location, being only 10 minutes away from the old town, although it may not look very safe. The service provided, especially when getting the same room, is top-notch and the best thing about this hotel.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and very clean, although not huge, they were big enough for a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly, multilingual, and even accommodating special requests without hesitation. The location, while slightly out of the way in the Moscow district, was ideal for exploring Old Town, especially if you enjoy walking. The dining experience was good, offering organic options and being conveniently close to both Old Town and Daugava. Overall, great value for money with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. The rooms were a bit dirty but overall clean and nice with the added comfort of working air conditioning, a blissful thing in the summer heat. However, the location is a major letdown due to being in a run-down area that can be alarming to walk in, especially at night. The dining experience was good but could be improved with more options. Facilities were decent overall.
