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.

The hotel is quite outdated, with a design from the early 2000s.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.

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.

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!

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).

Nice hotel for a mini vacation
I had a nice stay at Rixwell Elefant. Before arrival I had emailed the hotel inquiring about a specific room which I was happy to get. Any question I had they could help with. The bed was unfortunately a bit broken, so I didn't sleep that well. Room 204.

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.
