AVALON HOTEL & Conferences

AVALON HOTEL & Conferences stands on the edge of Vecrīga, Riga’s Old Town, opposite the central bus station. That position solves a specific arrival problem: coach passengers can cross the avenue and reach the medieval lanes within moments; rail travellers have a walk of about ten minutes, which the hotel explains step by step. From the entrance, Town Hall Square and the House of the Black Heads are less than a five-minute walk away.

The property is officially classified as a superior four-star hotel and has 111 rooms and suites with air conditioning, Wi-Fi and a buffet breakfast. Facilities also include RESONANCE restaurant, a lobby bar, gym, underground garage and meeting spaces. Room types range from standard and superior rooms to connecting rooms and suites; review the category if you need more light, space or an additional bed, since layouts vary. Breakfast hours change by season and day of the week, according to the hotel.

Guest feedback often praises the position between the bus terminal and Old Town, the reception team, cleanliness and breakfast. Other comments mention small rooms, less comfortable sofa beds or a strong air-conditioning system. That distinction helps with the decision: Avalon prioritises location and practical service, while its room design is more understated than that of a luxury hotel. Its guest score measures traveller satisfaction and is separate from the official four-star classification.

The address is 19 13. janvāra iela. From the railway station, follow the hotel’s pedestrian route through the underpass across the canal and continue towards the Daugava; the coach terminal is directly opposite. Breakfast is served at RESONANCE, but the hotel notes that lunch and dinner may move to the lobby bar depending on operations and occupancy. If your priority is starting the day in medieval Riga and connecting with a coach, Avalon saves steps; Wellton Riverside offers a more riverside atmosphere and a spa that must be booked in advance.
