Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel
Great hotel and spa

Radisson Blu Latvija Conference & Spa Hotel, Riga
Great location. Stayed for a week but room was only cleaned once during that time. I only requested a light clean on 2 days, but expected it to be done more on the other days. Breakfast is limited and gets boring quickly, and spa/pool use is an additional charge.

Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA
The location is perfect. Quick walking distance to central market, bus station, and old town. The hotel itself looks nice from the outside but the rooms inside are a bit dated. However, it worked for me and I would stay again.
