Riga Unimars Hotel

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Riga Unimars Hotel? Walking up to this place on Duntes iela, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star spot, but there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about it that just works. The building itself has this solid, no-nonsense vibe – definitely not Instagram-flashy, but the kind of place where you actually get decent value for your money. And honestly, that’s getting harder to find these days.

The location is actually pretty clever if you think about it. Duntes iela puts you right in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk into Old Town (maybe 15-20 minutes if you don’t mind the stroll), but you’re not dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your window. I mean, you’ve got the Daugava River practically around the corner, and you’re near enough to the business district that everything feels properly connected without being hectic. The staff seemed to genuinely know their stuff too – not just the scripted tourist recommendations, but real insights about when to hit the Central Market or which tram lines actually run on time.

What really won me over was the attention to those little things that matter when you’re actually living in a place for a few days. The rooms are clean and comfortable without trying to be fancy – good beds, reliable hot water, and windows that actually open properly (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue). The breakfast spread was solid, nothing revolutionary but done well, and the coffee was strong enough to get you going. I stayed during late spring, and the whole area was pretty quiet in the evenings, which was perfect for getting decent sleep. Parking wasn’t a nightmare either, though I’d recommend asking about it when you book since street parking around there can be hit or miss depending on the day. Look, this isn’t the kind of place you’ll be bragging about on social media, but it’s the kind of place you’ll actually recommend to friends who want to experience Riga without breaking the bank or dealing with tourist trap nonsense. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

  Overall, it's a good place for business trips. Nothing extra.
  
  What could be improved: I didn't have enough outlets for charging gadgets. Some sockets were amusingly half-covered by furniture.
