According to local media, the hotel was taken over by Swedbank and closed down. Lets hope it will reopen soon under a new ownership. More

I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times now, during working trips to Latvia. It is definitely the best hotel i have stayed at in Latvia, the other two being dark dingy places. This hotel reminds me of modern Dutch style hotels. The location is very convenient for the airport. I hired a car at the airport and... More

The Elephant is a modern hotel about half way between the airport and the city center. It overlooks a main road and I found it quite noisy at night. Riga is a beutiful, small, but a bit run down city. From the Elephant you can take a bus (22 or 53) to the historical center, it's about a 10 min... More

The Elefant Hotel is a very reasonably priced hotel near the airport. Very clean, very good service. The only negative - it's not near Riga's Old Town. I highly recommend the hotel to travelers looking to stay near the airport, or to traveler's with transportation/willing to use public transportation. More

Very nice, quiet and comfertable hotel with nice staff. We did not find the distance to the old town as a problem. Good and cheap conection by train, buses and taxi. More

It was quite a good business hotel, clean and comfort, focused on minimal design. It''s located not far from the airport, but far away from the picturesque Old Town of Riga. If i ever return to Latvia, i am not sure if i will prefer it again. Buses and taxis stuck in traffic are not what i dream of Riga... More

I went for a city break from Friday to Monday to Riga. In general it is cheap and easy to use the public transport (bus) to go between airport - hotel - centre (0,4 Lat for one way). Bus station (line 22 or 53) is located about 200 metres from the hotel. The way to the centre isn't within walking... More

+++ Rooms are very comfortable. Although we stay in a room beside the streets with one of the most traffic in Riga we didn't hear nothing. Very good bathroom with lots of amenities. One of the best places if you stay in Riga for business purposes or do need to wait for your flight as the hotel is between Riga... More

We stayed at the Elefant on a way to Lithuania and loved it. Highly recommended! Will definitely come back soon. More
