Olimpija Hotel

We needed a place to stay in Daugavpils accidentally as our car had a defect near Lithuania/Latvia borders. The big "Latgola" hotel where we were initially sent was full so we ended up in Olimpija. When we parked in front of the hotel we were afraid that it is going to be quite terrible as the building itself does not look very fancy and it is surrounded by either unfinished or already falling apart buildings. But then we discovered that this hotel is a really great value for money. We were three - two adults and a 10-year-old kid. We got a room for two and they brought us a cot for the kid. The room was simple but it had a standard equipment including TV and a bathroom with shower and wc. There is also free wi-fi in the hotel. Breakfast was included in the price although it was a served breakfast and we could not chose what we would have. And what is the best - there is a big swimming pool, fitness, sauna and steam and it is all already included in the price. It is open every day from noon to 10 pm. The price for all the above for the three of us was 45 euros per night which is pretty awesome I think. There are two supermarkets close to the hotel, as well as a tramway station to the centre. And in this city (which is the 2nd biggest city in Latvia but otherwise it is rather small :-) ), there is the best preserved military fortress in Europe - Dinaburg Fortress - and I highly recommend to everybody to see it. So I can recommend this hotel to everybody who is not addicted to luxury. Luxury it is not, but it is comfortable, clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and there is nothing to complain about.
