4/10 Fair

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
zofia, 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

6/10 Good

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.

I liked the spacy rooms and the architecture of the hotel. I did not like that the breakfast did not offer gluten-free, dairy-free and simple things like plain oats.

All things was good.
Saidali, 4-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The hotel is quite outdated, with a design from the early 2000s.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

Excellent
Sultan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The place needs some proper TLC, TV is so out dated and many channels impossible to watch due to bad picture quality. Although breakfast runs until 11am, after 10am they were out of quite a few things that were not topped up. It used to be one of my favourite hotels, and it’s sad to see its quality dipping.
Iveta, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room stank so bad that we had to request a different one
kirill, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Trying to find this hotel at night was impossible there is no clear signage so ended up driving past three times. The reception staff were rude and didn’t feel welcomed at all. The breakfast was ok and to be fair the staff members at breakfast and check out were pleasant. Also hate when you don’t have a iron in the room!
Diane, 1-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).

Aleksandr, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Positive: Very comfortable hotel. The food was excellent, so we loved the room service. Staff was great. The hotel room was nice. The decoration of the hotel was beautiful. Negative: The breakfast in the busy time was the most chaotic breakfast experience I have ever had, because there were no clear signs where the line starts, people were rushing and there were no enough tables. The shower in our room was not in the best condition.
