My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. While the location near Old Town is fantastic and the breakfast offered a wide variety, my experience with the room was disappointing due to unpleasant odors. The staff, although friendly, couldn't resolve my issues effectively. Overall, it's a good place if you can overlook some maintenance problems.

My stay at the Forums Boutique Hotel was quite enjoyable. The location is fantastic, as it's right near Riga's Old Town and many attractions. The room was clean and cozy, providing a good night's sleep. However, the breakfast options were somewhat limited, and it would be nice if there were more facilities within the hotel. Overall, it's a solid choice for a short visit.

I had a really pleasant stay at this boutique hotel, with its excellent location just a stone's throw from the Old Town and easily accessible to both the bus and train stations. The room was clean and comfortable, though the breakfast could use some improvement in variety. Service was attentive, but the Wi-Fi was a letdown, not working in the rooms or breakfast area. Overall, it's great value for money but with a few areas needing enhancement.

I stayed at this hotel recently, and while the location was fantastic, right in the Old Town and near many attractions, the noise level was quite an issue. The breakfast was mostly okay, but there was certainly room for improvement. I loved the clean and charming rooms, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable at times, especially with the noise outside. The overall value for money was good, but there were a few downsides.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and had a lovely little balcony, though opening the windows invited in mosquitoes. They were comfortable enough, but could use some modernization.

My stay at Hotel Forums was quite enjoyable overall. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the room was clean with a lovely bathroom and plenty of hot water. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to the Old Town and other attractions. However, I did experience some issues with the breakfast service and the room reservation that left me slightly disappointed.
