There's nothing wrong with this hotel, we just couldn't get enthusiastic about it. Location is quite good - about 10 minutes walk from the old town, the other side of the main market, and quite quiet. The desk staff were helpful. The room itself was a good size and spotlessly clean. The furthnishings were ok - somwhere between minimal and... more

We stay at hotel before Latvian John day. We really enjoy city and excellent stay at hotel. At reception they have nice English and German speaking staff. Only we have problems with taxi. When we come from airport red taxi ask from as 9 lats, taxi Mercedes back to airport cost 2 times more- 20 lats. more

Stayed here to two nights in June and had a really nice stay. Arrived around 11.30pm, check in was really quick. We had a room on the sixth floor. Room was clean and tidy with two single beds pushed together. Big windows and decent blinds meant lots of fresh air and decent darkness. Bathroom was nice, although we had a... more

Stayed for 5 nights at The Hanza, in the interesting but cold city of Riga. We couldn't fault the hotel. It is in a quiet, virtually traffic free square, a ten minute walk from the old town (or a short inexpensive taxi ride). Its a great location, central, but not too central. The hotel is in a newly renovated building,... more

Fantastic location,clean rooms and probably the two most helpful receptionists ive ever encountered.We got a good deal when we booked on the hotel's own webite but believe me our stay was worth double what we paid.... When next in Riga i dont need to look any further than the Hanza!!! more

Just back from a very cold Riga. Hotel Hanza - fantastic hotel for the price. Rooms are spotless and shower excellent with plenty of hot water. Hotel is not in the old town but don't let that put you off as it is only a 5 min walk - if you are lazy then there are plenty of taxi's available(don't... more

This is a nicely situated, clean fresh hotel which appears to have been recently refurbished. The rooms are fine, with nice bathrooms with heated floors. Breakfast is fine, but can get busy if you go at the wrong time. A couple of the staff could potentially be more helpful, you get the feeling it's easier for them to say they... more

Just returned from a great stay at the Hanza Hotel. We found all aspects of the hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel provided our transport to and from the airport and that was very convenient – probably cost a few more LATs than using a taxi but I think it was worth it. The receptionists were great and couldn’t do... more

This is a lovely hotel 10 minutes walk from Riga Old Town. It took ten minutes to get here by taxi from the airport and only cost 8.95 lats. There are plenty of taxis outside the airport (red renaults), we just used one of those. We had a corner room on the 3rd floor overlooking the old Church, the room... more
