Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Wellton Riga Hotel & SPA? I walked in expecting your typical business hotel setup, but there’s actually this surprisingly intimate vibe going on. The building sits right on Vaļņu iela – and honestly, if you know Riga at all, you’ll appreciate that this puts you smack in the middle of the Old Town without being on one of those tourist-packed streets where you can’t sleep past 7 AM.

The spa part isn’t just some afterthought either, which I’ve seen way too often with hotels that slap “SPA” on their name. They’ve got this whole wellness thing figured out – the treatment rooms feel genuinely relaxing, not like they’re trying too hard. I mean, after walking around Riga’s cobblestones all day (and trust me, your feet will feel it), having a proper spa downstairs is pretty clutch. The staff actually knows their stuff too, which… well, that’s not always a given. What I really liked was how they handle the whole 4-star thing – it’s polished without being stuffy. The rooms are done up nicely, nothing too flashy, but you’ve got good linens and the bathrooms are actually spacious enough to move around in. Pro tip: the rooms facing the courtyard are quieter, though honestly the street noise isn’t terrible even on the Vaļņu side.

Here’s the thing about staying here though – you’re literally a 3-minute walk from Doma laukums, and if you head the other direction, you hit the newer part of town just as easily. I grabbed coffee at that little place around the corner (you’ll see it) every morning, and the hotel staff pointed me toward some spots I definitely wouldn’t have found otherwise. They seem to actually live in the city, not just work there, if you know what I mean. The breakfast is solid – not Instagram-worthy or anything, but it’s got local touches and enough variety that you won’t get bored if you’re staying a few days. Check-in was smooth, and they store luggage without making a big deal about it, which is clutch when you’re doing that awkward early arrival thing. Only minor gripe? The elevators are a bit slow, but honestly, that’s pretty standard for older European buildings that have been converted. The 8.5 rating makes sense to me – it’s the kind of place that gets the important stuff right without any major surprises, good or bad.

Reviews

• Amazing and I will return. – Janis from Netherlands – 5 July 2025 (10/10)

  Location, Spa, Very clean and organized! Amazing staff, affordable room service and with high quality food!
  
  What could be improved: Maybe the only thing i could suggest is to give bigger glasses or cups and the spa procedures could be a little but more organized but that is just a feedback

• Very friendly, upgraded my room with no extra cost. – Cyrus from United Kingdom – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  Central, clean
  
  What could be improved: Everything

• Very good – Nicoleta from Romania – 2 July 2025 (8/10)

  Cleanliness and location
  
  What could be improved: When arriving, I was asked to pay a 50 Euro deposit, "in case I was going to use extra services" – which I did not plan to do. I found this extremely annoying.

• Very good location,close to everything. – Santa from Ireland – 1 July 2025 (9/10)

  I liked the location.
  
  What could be improved: The minibar is not actually working. All the drinks are warm. Who would like a warm drink out of it? Unless they are not trying to sell them.

  1st Qater pressure in shower,ahhh,very slow,maybe because 8th floor
  2nd TV,if i will stay without kid,no problem for me,but kid loved watch something in evening. From 3 days,only 1st day tv was working, when i mentioned in reception they said they will send someone to check next day, but no one came.
  Otherwise everything was very good

• Nice hotel with super location – Maido from Estonia – 25 June 2025 (10/10)

  Great location near old town, bus and train station. It had small nice spa with not many visitors because you have to book a timeslot to visit. Breakfast was good. We visited hotel with grpup of friends and it was really good to stay near bars, restaurants and clubs. Stuff was really proffessional and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Very good – Ellen from Australia – 25 June 2025 (8/10)

  Bed and pillows comfortable. Excellent breakfast selection.
  
  What could be improved: Whole room needs an update. Very small TV No USB point. Bathroom was very small nowhere to put personal items makeup etc. Towels very thin and very small. Bar- fridge did not go cold. Managed to get it swopped with one from the room opposite. It was needed to keep medication cool.
  
  Just a note nothing to do with hotel. If travelling by bus to Vilnius the bus station is only about 250m across from hotel. However you cannot just cross the road. Crossing is via under ground steps. No lift or elevator to street level. Challenging if elderly with heavy suitcases.
