Breakfast
Guests at Spadrops generally have positive remarks about their breakfast experiences. Many describe the breakfast as very good, rich and delicious, praising particularly the tasty dishes and excellent coffee. It's noted that the breakfast is satisfactory and fills you up for the morning with some appreciating the simplicity and straightforwardness of the meals. While the offerings are often described as simple or basic, the food is consistently deemed tasty and enjoyable. The coffee consistently receives high marks, further enhancing the breakfast experience.

However, there are a few mentions of limited variety and some old-fashioned choices, although these seem to be outweighed by the overall satisfaction expressed. The breakfast is described as sufficient and good enough for the price, though some guests seek a broader selection. A few reviews mention meager offerings on certain days, but the service and overall quality often compensate for these minor shortcomings. Guests highlight the richness and diversity of the offerings on occasion, suggesting an improvement in selection might be appreciated.

Dinner
The dining options near Spadrops receive positive feedback from guests. There is a highly recommended restaurant, Brandīns, which is well-rated and described as very good. Guests appreciate that it's well-maintained and located conveniently next to the hotel. However, it’s suggested to book in advance as it can host banquets, impacting availability. Nearby, there is also a café where guests can enjoy dinner. While the immediate vicinity seems to offer quality dining options, some guests noted they had to venture to Ogre for food at times.

Rooms
The rooms at Spadrops are noted for their spaciousness and cleanliness, providing guests with a pleasant stay. Many guests appreciated the clean and cozy ambiance with some rooms offering beautiful views of the river, adding to the charm. Rooms were generally large with some equipped with baby cots and necessary bedding, making them family-friendly. The presence of amenities like refrigerators in some rooms was a welcome feature.

However, several reviews highlighted that the interiors are outdated and the conditions of the rooms are somewhat worn out with some mentioning worn furniture and outdated decor. Issues such as water leakage, mold smells and damp walls were also brought up. A few guests were disappointed with the condition of the carpets both in the corridors and the rooms themselves, pointing out stains and dustiness. The balconies and windows were often found to be in poor condition with reports of spiderwebs and dirty glass. The absence of air conditioning and kettles in the rooms was noted as a downside by some visitors.

Parking space is ample near the hotel, which is convenient for those traveling by car. Despite these mixed impressions, the overall consensus about the room size and cleanliness seems positive, albeit with room for improvement in certain areas of maintenance and amenities.

Beds
When considering an overnight stay at Spadrops, travelers often highlight bed comfort as a crucial aspect of their experience. While some guests did appreciate the large, wide beds and found the clean bed linen and towels to meet their cleanliness standards, the majority of reviews focused on several notable issues. Many visitors encountered discomfort due to the beds being too soft or having a middle slope, which significantly affected their sleep quality. Additionally, the creaky, squeaky nature of the beds was a common complaint, as even slight movements could produce loud noises that disturbed rest. Uncomfortable pillows and the peculiar issue of slippery bed sheets further contributed to an unsteady night's sleep for many guests. One particularly troubling observation was the occasional unpleasant odor from the beds, which a few guests described as smelling of urine. Although the well-maintained bed linen and towels were a plus, the primary takeaway from many reviews is that the beds at Spadrops need considerable improvement to ensure a comfortable and restful stay.

Cleanliness
'Spadrops' offers a significantly varied experience when it comes to cleanliness, as perceived by recent guests. A number of reviews highlight the hotel as clean and tidy with phrases like "clean rooms," "very clean," and "cleanliness of the room" frequently mentioned. Some guests appreciated the accommodation's overall tidiness and neatness, noting "everything is very neat."

However, these positive comments are sharply contrasted by numerous reports of cleanliness issues. Multiple reviews pointed out specific concerns such as cobwebs and spiders being prevalent in rooms, lobbies and even balconies. Further cleanliness concerns included debris in the jacuzzi, children's feces by the pool and a slight chlorine smell in some rooms. The spa area, described with "rust everywhere" and visible signs of wear, was frequently mentioned as needing renovation. Other criticisms include dusty floors, dirty windows and balcony rails, as well as musty bathrooms and bedding.

Reported issues extend to structural and maintenance shortcomings with mentions of rusty lockers, dirty walls, peeling plaster and significant stains on bed linens and mattresses. There were also complaints about the pool area being cold, indicating a lack of adequate temperature control.

The maintenance of communal areas like shared balconies was poorly rated with guests noting that these spaces were not well-separated or cleaned. Additionally, the presence of flying insects was exacerbated by the lack of air conditioning, pushing guests to open windows and inadvertently allowing insects into their rooms.

In summary, while 'Spadrops' can offer clean rooms and tidy accommodations for some, there remains a noticeable inconsistency in the overall cleanliness and upkeep of the hotel, particularly in shared spaces and older amenities.

Staff
The reviews consistently highlight the exceptional quality of the staff at Spadrops. Words like super, responsive, friendly, polite and helpful are repeatedly used to describe the team, creating a solid image of a dedicated and pleasant workforce. Specific mention is made of individuals such as Amanda and other reception workers, emphasizing their pleasant demeanor and professionalism. The service staff, including those at breakfast and other service areas, are noted for their excellent service and responsiveness. Despite a few criticisms about professionalism and hygiene standards, the overall consensus is that the staff are a standout feature of the hotel, contributing significantly to positive guest experiences.

Wi-Fi
Spadrops offers a generally reliable WiFi experience for its guests. Reviews indicate that the internet works without any issues in most areas and the WiFi connection is good. However, some guests have reported problems with the WiFi on the upper floors, where it was either slow or practically non-existent. Despite these occasional hiccups, the connectivity appears satisfactory for a majority of the visitors.

Spa
The spa at Spadrops offers unlimited access, allowing guests to enjoy the amenities at their leisure. There are three pools and two saunas, including a well-regarded steam bath and classic sauna, although the sauna may require an additional fee. The pool and jacuzzi are in good condition with the pool being large and comfortable for swimming. Guests appreciated the clean spa area and found the facilities relaxing.

However, the spa exhibits noticeable wear and tear with many reviews mentioning visible rust and outdated sections. While functional, the area has seen better days and would benefit from renovation. The spa zone is small but comfortable, providing a quaint yet pleasant experience.

Overall, the spa area receives mixed sentiments given its condition, but its access and functionality, combined with a friendly staff and a relaxing ambiance, make it a valuable aspect of the guest experience at Spadrops.

Pool
Spadrops offers guests a spacious and large swimming pool that stands out as one of the hotel's main features. Many visitors appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the pool and jacuzzi without the hassle of crowds, noting that unlimited access was a significant advantage. Even on hot days, guests were able to cool off in what some described as a tremendously refreshing pool and the swimming pool and spa complex were highlighted as being wonderfully relaxing.

Despite the positives, there were several areas mentioned for improvement. Comments pointed out that the pool area could benefit from better maintenance, as it appeared somewhat neglected and in need of renovation. Issues such as debris in the jacuzzi, loose screws on the ladder and cold water temperatures were noted. Nonetheless, the pool's large size and the availability included in the hotel room price provided a considerable appeal for many guests.

Overall, while the pool area may require some updates and better upkeep, its size and accessibility make it a valuable part of the Spadrops experience.

Family
Spadrops proves to be a great pick for family vacations, especially those with children. The hotel offers family rooms upon request and a spa equipped with kids' activities. The establishment also features designated kids' areas that ensure entertainment for the little ones.

Another notable point is the family-friendly atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the pet-friendly policy for those who wish to bring along their dogs. The hotel maintains a clean environment with clean bed linen and towels frequently noted. A good restaurant nearby adds to the convenience of staying here.

However, caution is advised around the hotel stairs, which are identified as potentially hazardous for small children and elderly guests. Overall, Spadrops is considered an ideal spot for a brief, enjoyable family stay.

Indoor Pool
The indoor pool at Spadrops is generally available for use without restrictions and can be visited anytime, offering flexibility for guests. Families may find it appealing due to the lively atmosphere, although the presence of many children can make it noisy at times. While some guests found the pool enjoyable, others noted that it could be cold. It is important to book in advance to ensure access, as use is sometimes limited to an hour. Issues such as rusty metal surroundings and occasional unavailability of the pool and jacuzzi have been mentioned. Despite these concerns, the outdoor restaurant with its great garden atmosphere provides a pleasant setting for relaxation.
