Good
I stayed here two nights in late January! I must say I was fine! Cute hall particular room with elephant statue! Good international breakfast I would say! Not centrally located, but halfway between Riga and its airport! In short, a good compromise dear people of TripAdvisor! Happy elephant to you people of TripAdvisor!

Dear Claudio,
Thank you very much for your lovely review and for staying with us in late January!
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, especially the unique atmosphere of the hotel and our elephant statue — it’s always great when guests notice those little details. We’re also glad you liked the international breakfast.
And yes, our location really is a convenient compromise between the city center and the airport, so we’re pleased it worked well for you.
Wishing you a “happy elephant” too — and we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Kind regards,
Zanna B.

Best hotel of the tour.
The hotel is located a bit outside the center on the road to the airport.
However, due to the good insulation of the windows, one hears little to nothing.
The hotel was the most beautiful of the tour because of the rooms, the ambiance, and the wonderful staff.
A waitress even speaks very good German... it would be nice if this could be acknowledged.
The bathroom is very large and the shower is perfect, but be careful, the tiles can become very slippery when wet.
The breakfast room with buffet is definitely too small and too cramped.
However, the selection and quality of the food are excellent.

At first, I considered giving the hotel two stars, but that did not feel entirely fair. So here is a more complete review of the hotel.
Pros: Very good value for money. You really do get a lot for what you pay. I noticed when I was considering to book this hotel, that several people mentioned in their reviews the hotel being far outside the city centre. This is not really an issue. It is conveniently located within a short walking distance of several bus stops, with buses going both to the city centre and the airport. It is close to the SPICE shopping centre with shops, cafés, and restaurants. Clean hotel, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice.
Cons: The hotel is located near a main road, so depending on which side of the hotel your room is on, there can be quite a lot of traffic noise. Unfortunately, my room was on the second floor, directly above the restaurant. There is an open layout leading up to the second floor, almost like an open balcony or corridor, so you can hear a lot of noise from the restaurant below in addition to the traffic outside. I am not sure whether there was a special event taking place while I was there, but the hotel was fully booked. The noise until 3 a.m. was absolutely awful.
Would I stay here again? Yes, probably. The hotel is affordable, clean, and in a good location. However, next time I would definitely request a room away from the restaurant and preferably not on the second floor.
