Near the Daugava River, the Islande has a magnificent panoramic view of Riga Old Town. It's located in a green area of Kipsala island, a 12-minute walk from the Old City, and offers a wide range of amenities, including a bowling alley, gym, two restaurants and a summer terrace.



Kuressaare, Saaremaa: Staadioni Hotel (nights 6-7)







The well-located Staadioni Hotel is close to the highlights of Kuressaare, including the 14th-century castle-fortress. Though modest, it's only a 10-minute walk to town and has 27 spacious rooms with views to the castle and seaside.



Tallinn: Go Schnelli (nights 8-9)

Our nights in Helsinki are spent in the Original Sokos Hotel Albert. It is a relaxed, small property in the heart of the Punavuori district, at the corner of Uudenmaankatu and Albertinkatu.
