2 level apartments in Old Town

Hotel Description

So I’ve stayed at these 2 level apartments on Torņa iela a couple times now, and honestly, the location is pretty much unbeatable if you want to actually feel like you’re in Riga rather than just visiting it. You’re literally a two-minute walk from the medieval city walls – I mean, you can see them from some of the windows – and the cobblestone streets here still have that authentic old-world vibe without being completely overrun by tour groups at 7 AM.

The apartments themselves are what I’d call “solidly comfortable” rather than fancy. They’re spread across two levels, which gives you this nice sense of space that you definitely don’t get in most European city hotels. The stairs between floors creak a bit (it’s an old building, what do you expect?) but there’s something charming about it. What really won me over was the kitchen setup – actually functional, not just for show. I’ve made proper meals here, and the local Rimi market on Audēju iela is maybe a five-minute walk if you want to grab fresh stuff. The WiFi works well enough for video calls, though it can get a bit spotty during peak evening hours when everyone’s streaming.

Here’s what you should know: parking can be tricky since you’re right in the heart of Old Town, but there’s a decent-sized lot about three blocks away that won’t break the bank. The area gets pretty quiet after 10 PM on weeknights, which is great for sleep, but weekends can be a different story – you’ll hear some nightlife spilling over from the bars near Dome Square. It’s not terrible, just real city living, you know? The building entrance is one of those old wooden doors that looks like it’s been there since the 1800s, and check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that overly formal hotel lobby stuff. What I really appreciate is that you’re walking distance from both the touristy spots (Riga Castle is literally around the corner) and the places where locals actually hang out, like that excellent little café on Kalķu iela where they know how to make proper coffee. For a 3-star place, it punches above its weight class, especially if you value location and that authentic neighborhood feel over having someone fold your towels into swans.

Reviews

• Very good – Edgars from United Kingdom – 4 July 2025 (8/10)

  Size of apartment
  
  What could be improved: Had to pay for a parking. Could organise at least 1 space for each apartment free of charge.
  
  Netherlands embassy got their own 2 spaces…

• Great spacious apartment in the heart of old town – Jennifer from Germany – 15 June 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment was spacious. The room has a well equipped kitchen. So it's a great independent stay experience. 👍🏽 Especially nice if you need a space for yourself when you're staying a longer time because hotel rooms feel too small for me. The apartment also is located in the heart of old town so it's an excellent location to get to most of the sightseeing places. 👌🏽😊
  
  What could be improved: A TV would have been a nice add on but highly optional because there's a lot to do outside with visiting the cafes, museums etc.

• Superb – Zane from United Kingdom – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

  Great location and the place itself was exactly what we needed .
  No complaints,we truly loved it all 😊

• Beautiful views and perfect spot for visit to Riga. – Angelia from United States – 17 April 2025 (8/10)

  The view and location in Old Town was spot on. We didn’t want to have to worry about driving anywhere while we were in Riga. The bed was very comfortable. Property was nice and clean. We were a little cold the first night but found the trick of having the space heater running downstairs to keep it nice and toasty upstairs.
  
  What could be improved: Having to walk through the crowd of smokers from the bar downstairs.

• Fantastic accommodation in a great location – Scott from United Kingdom – 22 March 2025 (9/10)

  The location was fantastic with a great view of the powder tower outside of the window. Riga is a very walkable city so everything is close to the accommodation.
  
  What could be improved: Only minor downside is the property is directly above a bar which one of the 3 nights was playing extremely loud music till 1am so unable to sleep. Just be aware that this bar is open till 1am most nights and 3am at the weekend, 2 nights there was no disturbance so could have been a one off but just be prepare if going in high season.

• Beautiful apartment very close to tourist spots however ruined by terribly noisy bar below open til 5am. – Francesca from United Kingdom – 24 February 2025 (7/10)

  Absolutely beautiful, spacious apartment, situated right in Old Town. The apartment was very clean, well presented and cosy.
  
  What could be improved: 2 bars directly underneath the property, open til 5am on Friday night, very very loud and ruined the last day of our trip as we could not sleep at all.

• Brilliantly located apartment – Maciej from Poland – 13 January 2025 (9/10)

  Location, amenities, effective communication with landlord
  
  What could be improved: nothing

• Great well equipped apartment, great location, great value for money. – Simon from United Kingdom – 20 November 2024 (9/10)

  Location was great, in the old town, plenty in walking distance, including to city centre.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was fine. Can't fault anything

• Great location but needs a little tlc – Caitlin from United Kingdom – 14 November 2024 (7/10)

  Fantastic location! Very roomy and loads of restaurants literally underneath the building alongside cooking facilities. Super impressed and would 100% stay again. Could sleep 6 realistically in total
  
  What could be improved: Needs a little tlc in places such as the single bed slats being broken

• City break – Rowena from United Kingdom – 1 November 2024 (8/10)

  Loved the location I'm the middle of Old Town and next to the beautiful canal. There's a friendly bar in the basement with great bat food and cocktails and a lovely cafe across the road for breakfast coffee and pastries. The apartment is spacious and well set out.
