Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel

Wellton Riverside SPA Hotel stands on the bank of the Daugava, within Riga’s historic centre. Its address—33 11. novembra krastmala—is beside the riverside promenade and a short distance from the lanes, squares and buildings of Vecrīga. In the morning, the Old Town is easy to explore on foot; on returning, the modern façade and spa offer a deliberate contrast with the medieval streets. The property is officially classified as a superior four-star hotel and has 265 rooms.

The hotel offers standard and family rooms, some with river views, as well as a restaurant, bar and Wellton SPA Riverside. The thermal area includes a swimming pool, hydromassage, saunas and a steam bath. Do not assume access is included in every room rate: the hotel requires advance booking and lists conditions and charges according to the selected stay. A buffet breakfast is served each morning, with slightly different hours on weekdays and weekends. Reception is open around the clock, check-in starts at 3:00 pm and check-out is by noon.

Many guests value the location for walking around the Old Town and riverside, the size of some rooms, breakfast and cleanliness. The spa earns praise for its pools and saunas, but it can also surprise visitors who have not checked the rate: access may cost extra and must be reserved. Less favourable comments include complaints about showers, occasional maintenance or expectations of fuller service from a spa hotel. Compare what is included in the room rate rather than relying on the property’s name alone.

Airport buses serve central Riga, and the hotel is around a fifteen-minute walk from the railway station and Central Market, although luggage or street works can make a tram or taxi more convenient. Wellton Riverside is the more immersive choice if you want to stay by the river and explore Vecrīga on foot; Avalon Hotel & Conferences, opposite the central bus station and about ten minutes from the rail station, is better for connections and arrival with bags. Before booking, confirm spa availability and room orientation: not every room overlooks the Daugava.
