15 minutes from the Beach and city Center 7 minutes from the airport

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name of this place, I thought it was more of a location description than an actual hotel name. But you know what? That’s actually pretty smart marketing because it tells you exactly what you’re getting. This apartment-style accommodation on Pauļa Lejiņa iela really is about 15 minutes from both the beach and Rīga’s Old Town, and yeah, the airport thing is legit too – I could practically hear the planes, but in a weirdly comforting way, not annoying.

The building itself is one of those solid Soviet-era blocks that you see all over this part of Rīga, but apartment 43 has been completely transformed inside. I mean, whoever renovated this place actually gets what travelers need. The kitchen had everything I needed for a proper breakfast (and there’s a Rimi supermarket just down the street if you want to grab supplies), and the wifi was fast enough that I could actually work from the little dining table without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. The shower pressure was surprisingly good too – honestly, better than some four-star places I’ve stayed in the city center. What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night, despite being close to the main roads. The windows are proper double-glazed, so you can sleep with them closed if the occasional plane bothers you, though I found the sound kind of soothing after a while.

The location is where this place really shines, though. You’re in Torņakalns, which feels like actual Rīga rather than tourist Rīga, if that makes sense. There’s this great little café called Pauļuciņa just a few minutes’ walk away where locals actually hang out, and the tram stop on Akmens tilts gets you into the center in about ten minutes – way easier than dealing with Old Town’s narrow streets and parking nightmare. When I wanted to hit Jūrmala beach, it was a quick drive or you can catch the train from the central station. The 9.8 rating makes total sense once you stay here – it’s not fancy, but everything works exactly as it should, the host responds to messages immediately, and the price point is honestly unbeatable for what you get. If you’re looking for marble bathrooms and a concierge, this isn’t your spot, but if you want a clean, comfortable base that feels like staying in a friend’s apartment rather than a sterile hotel room, you’ll love it here.

• Superb – Dash from Poland – 18 July 2023 (9/10)

  It was a perfect apartment in Riga to spend your vacation everything was available in kitchen we had every equipment. We cooked the food by ourselves. Super market is near by any one can buy the groceries and vegetables. Other equipment like washing machine, TV was available. Bed was comfortable and there are lot of space in wardrobe and closets. The hosts were super friendly. Railway station is just 2 min from the property. It is easy to visit Riga, Kemeri national park and Jurmala. Very nice and quite place and a perfect place to relax.
  
  What could be improved: The place is 15min from Jurmala and Riga by train not by walk. Internet speed could be little better.

  Bonjour, Nathalija
  Tout d'abord la proximité de l'aéroport, également de la ville et de la plage cela facilite beaucoup les déplacements, j'ai moins aimé les façades des immeubles cela mérite d'être ravaler car il y a une sacré différence par rapport au autres immeuble que l'on trouve en ville.
