Latvia 🇱🇻

Excellent, interesting, inspiring.

Pros: Everything was wonderful. I enjoyed staying so close to the historical sites and being able to walk around and explore this amazing city.

Cons: I liked everything. I would just suggest to add a bed light lamp: it would save energy/ money and would be more convenient for reading.

Schöner Kurztrip und nettes Hotel

Pros: Sehr netter, hilfsbereiter Empfang und sehr freundliches Personal. Tägliche Reinigung im Zimmer. Sehr sauber. Gute Lage, kleine Dachterrasse mit Frühstücksraum kombiniert, nicht weit (5min zu Fuß) zum Wasser, nette Restaurants, kleiner Supermarkt um das Hotel herum. Nur ca. 10min Fußweg zur blauen Moschee. Für Jogger - schöner Laufweg am Wasser zur Galata Brücke ist

Cons: Zimmerausstattung etwas abgenutzt. Sehr kleines Bad. Das Hotel ist zudem ziemlich eng im Treppenhaus und hat keinen Aufzug. Bei geöffneten Fenstern zur Straße hin ziemlich laut und viel Verkehr.

Openworld 9/10

Russia 🇷🇺

Pros: Amazing location with transport accessibility - tram, train, taxi to go somewhere far, walking distance to old town. Very good breakfast in the hotel next door. As well corner restaurant is with high rating and good food and service. Amazing room - suite on the top floor with great terrace sea view (not like others have restaurants in there). Have a kettle in the room and minibar with water. Bathroom amenities and slippers as well were placed.

Cons: Very minor- faucet needs aerator not to splash water; room door needs stopper, otherwise it's blocking bathroom door and you can't exit. Just as an info - there's no elevator, only stairs, to the Suite is pretty steep.
