Xcelsus Good friendly service, large, free, safe parking area in front of the hotel.  You can get to the city with one minibus, i.e. microbus no. 5432, ticket 1.10 EUR and about 15 min. There is air conditioning, the window can be opened, there were no mosquitoes. . The hotel's breakfast is ok, there is not so much bacon, there are not at all small sausages. There is omelette, you make porridge from portion bags, there is bread, cheese and cold meats, tomato and cucumber. Coffee and cookies are always available from the coffee machine in the coffee room. There is a really good steak restaurant "Meat me grillbärs" in 1.2 km distance, open until 21.00, and  a good Chinese food kiosk in the backyard of A7 Rimi center, open only at daytime. There is also a good hair salon inside the Rimi center. Xcelsus Hyvä ystävällinen palvelu, iso, turvallinen parkkipaikka hotellin edessä. Yhdellä pikkubussilla eli mikrobussilla no 5432 pääsee kaupunkiin, 1.10 EUR ja noin vartti. Ilmastointi löytyy, ikkunan voi avata, ei ollut hyttysiä. Hotellin aamiainen on ihan ok, pekonia on hintsusti, nakkeja ei ole, munakasta on,  pussista teet puuron, mutta on  leipää, juustoa ja leikkeleitä, tomaattia, kurkkua. Kahvihuoneessa on koko ajan tarjolla kahvikoneesta kahvia ja keksiä. 1,2 km päässä on tosi hyvä pihviravintola Meat me grillbärs. A7 Rimin pihalta löytyy hyvä kiinalainen ruokakioski päivisin. Rimi-keskuksen sisällä on hyvä kampaamo, on testattu.

Clean, comfortable hotel. Lovely breakfast with a wonderful omelette offered and cooked to order each morning. In a quiet location. We left our car in the hotel's free car park and took a taxi into Riga for sightseeing, the cost of the taxi was €7 each way right into the centre. It meant we could enjoy a beer/wine and saved a fortune on parking!

It was not a business hotel, prepared to host this type of customer and with people who spoke other languages. It was a hotel for couples and to celebrate wedding and events very quiet and lovely. Despite the language, the attention was excellent, familiar and very attentive. They let me choose the room (they told me that there was a wedding and that the noise might bother me). The room and bathroom were large, very clean with lots of details and the huge and spectacular bed for my alone. The only drawback is that I chose a habituation located to the extreme and I think for this reason there was no way to connect to the internet. Breakfast, simple but personal and quality. It is in the middle of the countryside so lovely but and it is not possible to eat or dine at the hotel and around there was nothing.

The Xcelsus hotel outside of Riga, Latvia, is a small, private, two-story hotel which appears to focus on events such as weddings. The rooms are large, very comfortable, and quiet overlooking open space. It's family-managed and is very friendly. It is not in downtown Riga but is closer to the Kekava Municipality; one therefore needs to take a taxi or have a car to get around the region. Free wi-fi, but the TV could be upgraded with stations other than BBC and Latvian.

I stayed here for three nights. Quite basic though very clean and quiet room. Lovely breakfast. Hosts/owners/managers (?) - Sylvio and Sanita - were very friendly and helpful. Not too far from the city in a quiet neighbourhood. I would certainly recommend it!

We had a perfect weekend in Riga! Xcelsus Hotel was a really nice place to stay, as we were travelling by car and there is a nice big parking place directly in front of the hotel. NB!!! The Trip Advisor map can show totally wrong place for the hotel address - it is not so far from the town as it shows. If you want to see the right place, look from the hotel webpage - there is a map with the right address (http://xcelsus.lv/KaAtrastENG.html). It took us to city center only 10 minutes by car, but it is also possible and cheap by public transportation or taxi (ca 7 EUR). Our room was very clean, nice atmosphere, really tasty breakfast and friendly staff. And of course the price for all of that was also really fair. I guess we made the best joice that we choosed that hotel. We were very satisfied with our stay in this hotel and if we are planning to go to Riga again, we will stay again in Xcelsus hotel.

The hotel has more the feel of a personalized guest house, rather than an 'antiseptic' hotel - but is all the better for that. The owners are wecoming and attentive; rooms are fine, with air-con and are very well sound-proofed (none of us was disturbed by a late-night wedding reception); all hotel is very clean and well-maintained; breakfast is excellent - wide variety and special wishes cooked to order...faultless (great coffee, too); ample free parking; free wifi. And all at a VERY good price, representing high value for money. It's in the countryside, so is quiet and peaceful, but central Riga is only 12 mins drive/taxi away. Well-located for touring, as it is close to the major road network. A bit difficult to find first time, but my old sat-nav was probably to blame. I recommend this hotel highly.

Location: First of all: be careful - the address shown with the map system of in TripAdvisor isn´t the real location! We drove through the whole town and by the time we reached the place the hotel was supposed to be, there was no hotel. We had to go back (45 minutes) and drive to the other end of Riga. Therefore, be careful and use the address WRITTEN here and enter it to your navigation system and do not the address the map of TripAdvisor shows! Another problem is, that there is no Restaurant nearby and you definitely need a car if you want to go for food or in the city center. Hotel: The hotel was very nice. It had a nice interior style both in the rooms and the entrance area. One problem was that in the rooms we haven’t had internet any wlan-connection. The problems in this regards was that the walls of the rooms are too thick or too well isolated. In the second you go out of the door of your room the internet connection is perfectly fine. On the plus side: They have a little area near to the router where you can find some comfortable seats – Over there the internet is perfect. The other thing was that the hotel emphasized to have a swimming pool and a sauna on their webpage on booking.com. However, when we were there both weren’t working. Maybe they could have given a short note on the webpage that both swimming pool and sauna are currently not available. Cleanliness: Nothing to complain in this regards: Everything was perfectly clean. Staff: The staff was VERY friendly. Whatever I asked the tried not only to help me but gave me ideas what else I could do. They took lots of time to explain me everything. Thank you for that! Food: The breakfast was perfectly fine, nothing too fancy, but you had bread and cheese and different kinds of yoghurt and fruits and other stuff as well. Total: The price/performance ratio is good for this hotel. I would go there again.

We spent 18 nights at the Xcelsus and cannot say enough good things about this wonderful hotel! First, it is immaculate! That is most important to me at any hotel! It is newer and everything is in top order! Secondly, our room was one of the larger rooms and we loved that we had ample space since we were there for almost three weeks, plenty of room to spread out! Our bed was very comfortable, lovely down covers and good pillows, extras were provided if needed. Same with towels or anything we needed the hosts were always ready to get it for us. Speaking of our hosts, Sylvio and Sanita were just amazing. They speak excellent English, which helped tremendously since we speak practically no Latvian :( They were friendly, accommodating and just plain nice! They love their hotel and want you to feel at home. One night there was to be a large party that they knew was going to last way up into the morning hours and probably be quite loud. Sanita warned us ahead of time and even offered us ear plugs! She asked the next morning if we were able to sleep, concerned with our welfare. This was our first time at the XCelsus, we come to Latvia to visit friends sometimes once a year, if we are able to be back next year we are definitely staying with Sylvio and Sanita!
