Traveller from Skelmorlie stayed in October,2008

Guest Comment:
Staff in hotel appeared very frosty and disinterested but soon discovered that its not just the hotel, most latvian people dont smile, say hello or say please or thankyou. The tourist board needs a word with them!! The Metropole is just on the edge of the old town and is ideal for exploring Riga. Also the train station is right across the road and has a good tourist info desk. Breakfast is excellent and the one evening meal we had in the restaurant was spot on.

Top Tip:
Dont go near the steak haus places (total rip off) ie one latt (£1.20) for a wee bit of ketchup for my chips???
