EuroCheapo review print this page

The three-star Radi un Draugi hotel is a great deal, with a prime spot in the center of Old Town, and offers 76 comfortable rooms at very reasonable rates. Rooms, in fact, were cheaper here than in many of the other hotels we visited, most in far less-central locations.

The Radi un Draugi (which means "relatives and friends") is run by a British-Latvian foundation, "Daugavas Vanagi". It has a welcoming reception and lounge, with pretty green carpets and wallpaper, plush sitting chairs, and classical music playing.

Rooms are quite comfortable, outfitted with pine furniture, a writing desk, telephone, satellite TV, cozy chair, and—bonus!—full service coffee and tea facilities. Most doubles are spacious, while singles are smaller. Décor is restrained, with earth-tone walls and nature-themed prints hanging. Tiled bathrooms are pretty standard, and some are equipped with bathtubs.

Guestrooms are not air conditioned at the Radi un Draugi, although every room is equipped with a fan. A busy pub and disco across the street, however, could easily be too noisy for those on lower floors facing Marstalu iela, especially during warmer months, when the windows are open. We’d suggest asking for something on a higher floor or facing the rear. Four junior suites are situated in corner rooms, offering panoramic views of the Old Town, along with additional space and higher ceilings.

Breakfast is included in the room rate. The hotel has a free internet station in the lobby, and a Wifi service is available throughout the hotel for a fee. The hotel is set to become entirely non-smoking at some point during 2009. Free parking available.

About the Radi Un Draugi neighborhood

The "Old Town" is the medieval heart of Riga, a maze of winding cobblestone streets, stony churches, and public squares. Most of the city’s main tourist sights are located inside the Old Town, including the Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, House of the Blackheads, Parliament, and the city’s Castle.

The Old Town is unsurprisingly also home to a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops, and hotels. We focused our hotel hunting on properties inside the Old Town, as this is the middle of the action. During peak summer months, the streets will be noisy with nighttime revelers, so light sleepers may wish to ask for rooms off the street—or in another neighborhood.
