Boutique Hotel Mama

I was really disappointed with this hotel considering the reviews were so good. We felt very unwelcome. I had booked the design apartment but was told I had booked a different room but could have the design apartment (it was confusing!) but that didn’t really match the picture advertised. The room wasn’t particularly comfortable , just awkward with the low ceilings and not really much space to relax. No sofa as pictured. The bathroom had no toiletries and there was a bath with a shower attachment but you couldn’t stand under the shower. The design is over the top and kitsch. The room wasn’t cleaned after night one. But for me the worst was that we had breakfast included. We had to choose this the day before. When we came to breakfast we were the only people there , the landlady (I assume?) brought us our order , gave us a coffee, then disappeared. We had no offer of a second coffee. On the table there was some nicely presented fruit and a croissant each and a piece of rye bread. The first day I had ordered eggs and bacon and they came with nothing else (no toast/bread). The second day I ordered the cheese and ham sandwich and it was delicious but my coffee had run out. I managed to catch her for a second coffee which she brought, but only for me and not my partner. I would not recommend this or stay again due to not being made feel welcome. However the location was great.

The room, although not large, had a lot of amenities we did not expect: electric kettle and tea; some plates, spoons, glasses and mugs; bathrobes and slippers; even a shoe horn. There was a refridgerator and a little balcony. The hotel is in an excellent location, a leisurely stroll from the beach and a block away from the main pedestrian street in Jurmala. We were awed by the breakfast: a fresh fruit starter; a basket of wonderful bread and croissants with butter and jam; and the usual warm breakfast dishes accompanied by coffee, all served quite stylishly.
