friendly staff. quiet, good location close to Tube station, traditional Latvian breakfast with meat, crunchy bread, cheese, eggs and organic yoghurts.

The room was very cold as the window was draughty. The receptionist switched on the radiator when I first arrived as she recognised it was cold, but the radiator only worked for about 10 minutes and it did not come back on even in the morning. There were no spare blankets to put on the bed so the night was cold

willingness to help the guests but with scarce resources available (heating disrupted, bathroom out of service, etc).

this is not a price for value place for staying even if it closes to the center as the price for a room at the 3stars hotel at the opposite side of the street was even cheaper and more renewed. We already encountered problems at the check-in as the bathroom of the room booked was out of order (the only one room with bath in the house!). After barganing on the price we stayed but sharing common services and noises. Be aware that no room facilities or cleaning are provided unless you stay more than 4 days. The maintenance of the guest house is rather old and quite limited and recall a rather soviet atmosphere pre-indipendence for services and prices are not commensurate to the offer.
