My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, close to the central Railway Station and Origo Shopping Centre, making it very convenient for exploring the city. However, the rooms were quite disappointing with stained carpets and mold in the shower, although the service was friendly and helpful. The dining experience was below par, with a limited breakfast selection, but the facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel is centrally located in Riga, just across the main train station, which is super convenient. Although the rooms were a bit outdated and had some cleanliness issues, the friendly staff and generous breakfast made the stay pleasant. However, the lack of air conditioning in the rooms was a downside.

The hotel's location is excellent, close to the Old Town and public transport connections, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms, while not very spacious and needing better cleanliness, are suitable for solo travelers but cramped for two. The service was friendly overall, although there were minor issues during check-in. The dining experience was average with daily repetitive options, but the globally inspired dishes added some variety. The facilities are sufficient for a comfortable stay, offering the basics you would expect.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though small, were meticulously clean with a lovely bathroom and shower. However, the lack of Wi-Fi at night and occasional urine smell were off-putting. The fire alarms going off twice also added to the less than ideal experience.

The hotel is conveniently located near the bus and train stations and offers easy access to both shopping and city sights. The rooms could use an update, but the proximity to key attractions makes up for it. The service was decent, with polite staff and a satisfactory breakfast. The dining experience was simple, yet sufficient for starting the day in Riga center.

The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient for exploring the city with shops, cafes, and public transportation nearby. The rooms were small and lacked proper lighting, but the hotel is a stone's throw away from the central station.

I stayed at this hotel during my trip and found it to be a mixed experience. The rooms I received were different from what I expected, as I ended up in a room with two single beds that were old, obsolete, and had a strange smell. The light curtains didn't provide much privacy, and overall, the room didn't look like the photos on the booking website. On the bright side, the location was very convenient for exploring the city and accessing various attractions and restaurants. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made my stay more pleasant. However, the dining experience was a bit of a letdown with some issues in the quality of the food.

My stay at Rixwell Irina had its ups and downs. The bed in the room was weirdly low and uncomfortable, the lack of air conditioning made it stuffy, and there wasn't even enough space to open my suitcase easily. On the bright side, the location was excellent, just about the only really good thing about the hotel. However, it could definitely use some updates to enhance the overall experience.
