HOTELS, RESTAURANTS AND DESTINATIONS REVIEWED AT THE SPEED OF TRAVEL
Posted in Europe, Hotel, London, United Kingdom on Jun 1st, 2013
Q: What is it? A: A pretty new place for those who would like a hotel in a decent location that is not too expensive. Expect small rooms, though. The concept should be absolutely bombproof.

Q: What is it? A: Constantly top rated. Beautiful building in the heart of Riga’s Old Town, but surprisingly non descript rooms. Also, some staff members should change careers to… ticket handlers.
