Stabu Sēta Residence

Восхитительный отель. Все, что нужно для хорошего отдыха за нормальные деньги. Удачи вам и процветания!

I arrived the facility and the staff was polite and the instructions were given clearly. The hotel was located very close to the old town/ art gallery and everything in the work worked. However, the toilet lid came off its frame, the cleaner was very loud in the morning ( from as early as 8:30am) and the bed linen was too small for the bed and kept coming off.

It's a very good, cozy hotel and very budget friendly. We had a room on the top floor and it was very cute. The only con is that the walls were very thin, we could hear anyone walking in the corridor, so we were whispering. The rest of the stay was amazing

Stayed here for the Latvia v Wales football. Perfect location as stadium just along the road. Check- in was easy and reception welcoming. Arrived early and while could not access the room there was no problem leaving our bags there. Room was spacious, beds comfortable and clean. Wi-fi was good large clean bathroom. Only criticism was shower head sprayed in all directions but other than that the room was great. Breakfast had plenty of variety and was tasty. 25 minute or so easy walk to old town and felt very safe at all times of day and night. Riga is a fantastic city and I'd love to return and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Chose the Stabu Seta for its location as our usual hotel has now been turned into apartments. Check-in was good other than our room had not been made up so we left our luggage in our friends room and headed out to meet other friends staying in a different hotel a couple of streets away for drinks and dinner. The receptionist was extremely apologetic but we were not concerned about the mistake. It’s a charming old-style hotel with a lovely little courtyard between the two buildings with tables and chairs for passing the time and a beautiful, tiled staircase. Our room (54) was a good size for the two us with plenty of storage space although I wish I had brought some extra hangers from home but we managed. There were 2 large single quilts on the double bed which was great as my husband prefers to sleep on top of the covers during summer but I do like a little bit of cover. The bed was super comfortable and I slept very well during our stay which is unusual for me. The bathroom is large with a shower over the bath and shower gel and hand soap is provided in dispensers over the bath and above the sink. The towels were a good size and nice and soft. The bedrooms are in corridors separated from the main stairwell/lifts by doors so the rooms are super quiet at night – we didn’t hear a thing and the windows overlooking the road outside are well sound-proofed so very little road noise. There is, unfortunately., no air-conditioning at all in the hotel and being at the front our room had the sun shining on it most of the day but there was a tall fan in the room and I took my small usb fan which I placed on the bedside table so we were not too hot during the night. There is a fridge in the room but no tea and coffee making facilities which I think is a major mistake (see below). The hotel website states free tea and coffee is available in Reception but unfortunately the machine was very small and most times I wanted to grab a coffee, particularly over the weekend, the machine was either out of water, out of beans or there were no cardboard cups. The hotel should either provide a larger machine and ensure it is well stocked or provide kettles in the rooms. This was my only negative, everything else though was great, especially the buffet breakfast in what would have been the cellar years ago – a great choice of hot and cold food, different varieties of cereal, fruit and breads and two coffee machines! The hotel doesn’t have a bar but there is a lovely little cellar bar next door which was charming and stocked a good range of local and international drinks. We visit Riga regularly and would certainly stay in this hotel again.

I spent three nights here and had the standard 1-person room. Starting with the positive things: the premises and the atmosphere were lovely. The hotel has a cute patio, and the breakfast was good for a 3-star hotel. The personnel were welcoming and helpful. Check-in and check-out were both fast and easy, as I had booked through *********** and paid in advance. The less positive things are, my room's cleaning seemed a bit neglected. There was dust and dead insects on the furniture. The bathroom could've used some rubbing of the tile seams. The sound-proofing wasn't as good as I had hoped for. I wished to take a nap after the check-in, having woken up at 2 am for the flight the previous night, and while I eventually was able to get some sleep, people passing by the room in the corridor could be heard. There was also some noisy cleaning done at that time and people talking in the corridor. Of course, full quietness during the day-time can't be expected, but nevertheless, I wouldn't say the sound-proofing was good. As others have said. there isn't really air conditioning, so it tends to get hot in the room during the summer time. Perhaps there is some trade-off here: old buildings rarely can compete with modern hotels with e.g. sound-proofing, but on the other hand, you get to experience an uniquely atmospheric premise. Overall, I think 3 stars fit the experience pretty accurately.
