Grand Hotel Riga

The Grand Hotel Riga is located along the banks of the Danube River, which would make it a really attractive hotel to stay in.  Unfortunately, I was quite caught off-guard by the almost incesssant (heavy) snowing to even want to make that little walk to the banks of the Danube River in Ruse.

I was quite prepared to resign myself to the room I saw on Hotel Riga's website before I checked-in, but it seems to appear that I was allocated a more expensive room that had more interesting furniture and looked like more thought had gone into its design.  Perhaps this is a perk of patronising a hotel when most people would rather stay home in knee-deep snow!

The room was quite spacious and so was the bathroom.  I'm guessing that in the warmer summer months without all that heaps of snow and slush everywhere and when Ruse looks gorgeous in photographs, there would be no chance of me being allocated to such a room at this hotel at the rate I paid.
