    The bathroom was dirty when I arrived in the room. There was trash and hair on the floor. The "queen" bed was made of two single beds put together, so there was a gap in between.

    Beautiful building, large bedroom, elegant common areas, great location.

    Curtains were missing and we had to ask for them to be put up. Had to ask for pillows too as were given two tiny, thin pillows for two people in a giant bed. Also some cleanliness issues.

    you get a premium room for not so much money.

    It would be great to have some breakfast at the hotel though there are many nice places nearby

    The property is this beautiful old villa with beautiful and rustic rooms and furniture. Even though we didn’t get the chance to use the lounge room with fireplace or the bar.. the hotel is one of a kind and we can’t wait to stay there again

    The windows are very small so there is almost no light coming in and you have to have lights on all the time.

    The room was spacious and cozy and there was everything you might need for a short stay (tea and coffee tray with a kettle; a small fridge; shampoo, conditioner, shower gel in the bathroom and other basic necessities). Great location.

    Amazing building
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    • Stayed 2 nights

    The description of the hotel has convinced me to book it as it's in an old building. It is an amazing building but unfortunately it has no soul. I know it's self check in but such a huge hotel should have staff and some life in the common space. It's a pity there is no exit to the garden as it look really amazing and you can see there was a bar in the hotel The rooms at the top floor have really small windows so you need to switch on the light also during the day. The carpets in the room and the halls have seen better days. As they are newly reopened I believe they will bring the soul into the hotel and would love to stay there then

    Amazing building. Good location, walking distance to old town and close to the train and bus station. Water cattle and complimentary coffee and tea. Communication and instructions for self-check in were good, no problems there.

    The cleaning person was not coming daily, we need to inform beforehand in case we want cleaning. It was a bit inconvenient for me.

    It’s old European style architecture.

    Good price-to-quality ratio, excellent location

    There is room for improvement, for example all the lamps in the room (ceiling + bedside) could only be turned on and off at the same time (or we couldn't find a way to do it despite looking), and there was only one armchair in a double room so even though there was a desk, you couldn't sit at it; and only three hangers in the wardrobe. But there was a wardrobe with hangers, which is positive in itself!

    The hotel is in an impressive building in a splendid location. In general, we enjoyed our stay, mostly because the beds were very comfortable (very!) and the personal hygiene products were a lovely quality and smelled wonderful. There was also a nice bathtub in the bathroom. It was also very quiet and peaceful despite it being on a busy street. There was an electric kettle and tea available.

    The Benjamin House was one of the best accommodations I ever booked. The house itself incredibly pretty and could almost be a tourist attraction itself. It is located in the center of the town and in very short walking distance of the train station and all the sights of the old town. There are great restaurants nearby and even a tea house in the park right next to the accommodation. The check-in and check-out processes were also very easy and quick. I would come back to stay here every time I come back to Rīga.

    There is no elevator from the entrance door to the first floor, at least from now. It was hard to climb the stairs with a heavy bag.

    a very beautiful and historic building. cold ceiling, big door. feeling as if you are in a palace. very beautiful and quiet place . highly recommend

    I wouldn’t really have a problem except maybe the small windows in my room, but I guess they are there to add to the characteristic of the building

    The building was a true piece of architecture and was well looked after and run , it was also very clean and tidy wich added to the overall look of the property

    I was at the edge of the roof and end of the corridors; therefore, wifi did not work, or the password was not correct. The bed was so uncomfortable they must replace it with better quality.

    This was a super opportunity to stay in this beautiful atmospheric historic hotel. I stayed for one night then returned for two more nights. I was sent detailed instructions for check in and it was very easy. There is a staff member present in case of difficulties. The hotel is a large imposing stone building opposite the park in central Riga. Inside the hotel, yes, the miles of carpets are a little faded but the amazing interiors and rooms exude character and atmosphere, and of course it is immaculately clean, and quiet. Great value too. I loved it! Highly recommended.
