Rixwell Old Riga Palace Hotel

We stayed for 3 nights and would recommend this hotel for a stay in Riga. Situated on the edge of the old town, it was perfectly located. The rooms aren't the biggest but had all the amenities we needed, the bathroom was clean. The breakfast buffet was very good and featured all the usual foods - cooked breakfast items, fresh fruit, patries, cereals etc The reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

So close to main attractions in old town and the central market. Since it's in old town, our Grab driver had to drop us off around the corner just a few steps from the hotel. Free breakfast buffet was excellent. Room is a little small and dated, but we're in the old town. Our AI search warned us not to drink the tap water but okay to shower or brush your teeth.

Great Location and Charming Stay in Old Riga What I liked Rixwell Old Riga Palace Hotel is a nice place to stay if you want to explore Riga on foot. The location is excellent — right in the heart of the Old Town, close to restaurants, cafés, attractions, and public transport. It’s very easy to walk everywhere and enjoy the city atmosphere. Overall, the hotel has a pleasant and comfortable feel. The rooms are decent, and despite being in a busy central area, the experience was enjoyable. The hotel has charm and works well for a city break or short stay. Areas for Improvement Because of the central location, it can be a little noisy at night, especially for light sleepers. It’s understandable in the middle of the Old Town, but better soundproofing would definitely improve the experience. The staff could also be a little warmer and more engaging. They were professional, but a friendlier and more welcoming approach would make guests feel more valued. Breakfast has room for improvement as well. There is enough food available, but the quality could be better. It would be lovely to see more fresh and locally sourced products, along with proper fresh juices instead of lower-quality processed options. Small improvements there would make a big difference to the overall experience. Overall, Rixwell Old Riga Palace Hotel is a good and well-located option in Riga, especially if you want to stay in the historic centre. With a few improvements in hospitality and breakfast quality, it could become a much stronger experience.

Close to the old town centre and walking distance to the rail station. Rooms are clean and tidy. Breakfast buffet is varied and tasty with local specialities. Decor has some art nouveau aspects but generally dark. Staff are friendly and helpful.
