Excellent option not too far from the airport.

Excellent option not too far from the airport and on the right side of town to avoid traffic in the morning. The area however doesn’t have too much to offer and it's a bit of a way from the centre. I experienced the bed as too hard but it might just have been me. The restaurant was excellent as was the bar, useful given few other options in the immediate vicinity. There’s a spa with massage but you need to book ahead so I didn’t experience it. Big room, comfortable and quiet.

The fire alarm at 7am was most unwelcome. Shambolic! We assembled downstairs and then were ignored by staff. No direction as to whether we should go back to room or not

Toni, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Stayed in the Elephant hotel for five days. The hotel is located away from the city center, on the other side of the river. Takes around 50 minutes walking, so have to use Bolt ot the bus (nr 22) to / from hotel. Nothing around hotel, except one gas station. Rom was standard chain hotel rom, cleaning good. Get a room overlooking the 'inside', not towards the main road, noizy. Breakfast below what can expect in a 4 star hotel. In all a medioker stay. Can get a better, but also a worse deal.
Jens-Åge, 5-night trip

Front desk not the friendliest nor the most helpful. Interesting architecture and design, room was ok and clean enough but some common areas showing a little fraying.

JOSEAN, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is quite outdated, with a design from the early 2000s. It feels uncomfortable, requires significant renovations, and looks like a maximum of 3 stars. The price is absolutely not in line with the hotel's standard.
Veranika, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel near the Riga airport

Fantastic new and well-kept hotel! Location next to a busy ready, but keeping the windows closed blocks all road noise. Just beware that the black-out curtains are not so black-out, which might cause issues during the early morning sun for people with light sleep. Possibility of free parking on the streets next to the hotel (upon availability).
