Hotel Cesis

I was looking for a place to stay on our visit to Sigulda and the area and on our way to Estonia and this hotel was a good choice. The hotel lobby and restaurant area is very nice, albeit a little old fashion…but that was part of the charm. Front desk was very attentive, friendly and helpful. There was plenty of parking in front of the hotel on the street. And the price was very reasonable. There is NO ELEVATOR (its an old hotel), but as I was struggling to take our heavy bags up the stairs, one of the hotel staff came up and asked to help. And when I went to tip him, he refused to take it…but I insisted. The room was clean and nice, albeit a bit tight. But we were there for only one night. Bed was comfortable. Had a desk to work on and reasonable plug availability. Wifi worked well enough but not perfect as it did come and go at times. Buffet in the main dining room could have been a bit better…but I gathered there were not a lot of guests at the hotel as part of the buffet was not filled (one of the warmers was empty and not being used). Still had sausage, great potato pancakes, what looked like a frittata (but it had been in the warmer too long as it was pretty dried out) some cold meats ,cheeses , hard oiled eggs, but only a few pastries. The restaurant was not open the night we were there, but they have a cafeteria and pizza parlor downstairs that was pretty busy...but it did not appeal to us. Short walk to main part of town …but we did have trouble that night finding a place open …at 8pm! Website photos are a fair representation of the hotel and rooms. While I felt it was an ok stay, keep in mind it is only a 3 star hotel and probably the best in town. Overall, for a one night stay in a small town, this was fine for us and I would recommend it to others.

It was our second stay at Cesis hotel and we quite liked it again. The rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable for sleep. Breakfast is also good for a small hotel. The location is great and the park is just gorgeous! I would be happy to come again.

We stayed two nights in this well renovated hotel in central Cesis and had a very comfortable room with all mod cons. The reception staff were very welcoming and helpful checking bus times for us and arranging transfer to the bus station as we had too much luggage to be able to walk the short distance. The included breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and was well served. We can thoroughly recommend staying here as it is well situated for local sights including the famous castle.

Very clean, spacious room, beautiful view, comfortable bed. Welcome, great location and parking right in front of the hotel. Breakfast on the outdoor terrace with beautiful park views. Very poor breakfast, small selection. If there was a salad at the start of breakfast, it was eaten and the bowl was not replenished. Same with buns. Basically there were 2 cheeses, an omelette, sausages, a cucumber and tomatoes. The coffee machine was brought only around 9 o'clock. The girl who removed the dishes was very unhappy. As well as a specific number for the wishes, I received in the reply that the wish will be fulfilled, but the number was given to another. Trifle, but sad, cuz they promised.

... das sich auch in seinem Innenbereich sehr angenehm und würdig präsentiert. Es ist dies ein Ort mit gediegenem Interieur ohne dadurch pompös zu wirken. Die Damen an der Rezeption waren polyglott und sehr freundlich. Sehr erfreulich war auch, dass unser Auto kostenfrei auf dem Hotelparkplatz stehen durfte, Bei Umhergehen stellten wir allerdings fest, dass die uns begegnenden Bediensteten des Hauses wenig Freundlichkeit zeigten. Deutlich wurde dies auch – am nächsten Morgen - im Frühstücksbereich. Der Frühstücksraum als solcher war allerdings sehr gediegen und auch das Frühstück war sehr gut. Phantastisch war der Blick von der Terrasse auf den Park und einen kleinen See. Unser Zimmer war nicht klein, aber die in Treppenhaus und Gängen vorhandene Großzügigkeit fehlte deutlich. Dies betrifft vor allem: Das Fehlen eines Fahrstuhls, einer AC und eines Kühlschranks im Zimmer. Wir hatten bei unserem Besuch Außentemperatur von 33°C und diese Defizite waren deshalb besonders ärgerlich und sie sind außerdem bei einem Hotel dieser Größe schon beschämend.
