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.

Just OK but not recommended

The hotel is located out of the city center but close to bus stops which make it easy to reach both citycenter and the Riga airport. Its breakfast was not the most fancy and it was just OK. Based on our stay experience at other 4-stars hotels, for a 4-stars hotel, a better breakfast with more variety was expected. Receptionists were not friendly while personals in the restaurant as well as cleaning staff were nice and friendly. Hotel has two wings and they are located almost like V-shape model. This cause rooms has a close view to each other and if your privacy matter, you should use black-out curtains, even during the day.

Someone opened our room door in the morning before 9 am. We think it was a cleaner, but we had not put the cleaning sign in the door, so we woke up to this, which wasn’t a nice surprise.

Jana

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is no heating, staff offered to downgrade my room but keep the same price of what i originally paid, told us to leave if we were not happy regarding their heating issue but not offered a refund. Its winter, when you book with a hotel you want to be comfortable but it was a bad experience and i had to leave the hotel and stay somewhere else. The staff were not helpful. Definitely would recommend to stay away from this hotel during the cold weather, there are not enough blankets that would keep you warm in that place! Expedia tried their best to help but the hotel refused to refund even after leaving the hotel once you check in!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff and service was awful. I asked to give us a room that was shown on a picture when I reserved. They gave us small tiny room. We were gay couple and the look that reception women gave us when we asked for double bed, was disrespectful. We wanted to have a coffee in restaurant at 1p.m., we asked a server nicely and she said kitchen is closed, but she brought 2 cup of coffee for a different guests. You have to ask everyday for a parking code which is annoying. Overall 1/5

Comfortable relaxed environment. Breakfast can get a little busy early doors but if you have time to sleep in then its more than comfortable. Locally good shopping at the shopping center, great foodhall, various shopping opportunities. Locally some good bars within walking distance or a simple Bolt taxi into Riga itself can be promising.

Family vacation in Riga

Hieman nuhjuinen hotelli, esimerkiksi käytävien kokolattiamatot olivat täynnä tahroja. Sängyt ja internet-yhteys ok. Meillä oli kaksi huonetta eri puolella hotellia, toisessa toimi ilmastointi ja toisessa ei. Hotellin ravintolan annokset isoja. Yhden lapsemme ruokatilaus viivästyi pahasti, mutta hyvitykseksi tästä lapset saivat jäätelöannokset ilmaiseksi.

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.

Hyvät sängyt ja siisti huone. Ilmastointi piti huoneen hyvin viileänä erittäin kuumalla kelillä. Hieman liikenteen ääntä läheiseltä tietä kuului, mutta se ei häirinnyt. Aamupala oli erinomainen ja monipuolinen. Paljon vanhempaa porukkaa linja-autoilla samaan aikaan meidän kanssa. Hyvin sovittiin aamupalalle vanhusten sekaan. Ilmainen vesiautomaattia (omaan pulloon) plussaa aulassa. Kävelyportti epäkunnossa pihaparkkiin ja autotalli poissa käytöstä ovivian takia. Ulkoparkki riittävä, auto säilyy turvassa hyvin. Rauhallinen ympäristö ja hyvä huoltoasema aivan vieressä. Suuri ostoskeskus kävelymatkan päässä.
