A++ Executive apartment with luxury sauna room

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places around Riga’s Old Town, but this apartment on Kaļķu iela honestly surprised me. You know that spot right between the cathedral and the main square? That’s where you’ll find this gem – and I mean, you’re literally steps away from everything without being stuck in the tourist chaos that hits Dome Square every morning around 10 AM.

The apartment itself is actually spacious, which is rare for Old Town properties. Most places squeeze you into these tiny rooms with slanted ceilings, but this one feels like someone actually thought about how people live. The sauna room though – that’s where this place really shines. I wasn’t expecting much (hotel saunas are usually afterthoughts), but this is a proper Finnish-style setup that gets hot enough to make you forget it’s November in Latvia. After walking around the cobblestones all day, honestly, it’s perfect for your feet and back. The whole place has this clean, modern vibe that somehow doesn’t clash with the medieval building it’s in – sort of like they kept the character but ditched the drafts and creaky floors.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays at night. Kaļķu iela gets foot traffic during the day since it connects to Vecrīga’s main drag, but after the restaurants close, it’s surprisingly peaceful. You can actually open the windows without hearing drunk tourists stumbling back to their hotels until 3 AM. The building’s entrance is well-maintained too – none of that sketchy buzzer situation where you’re not sure if you’re at the right place. Parking is tricky (well, it’s Old Town, so that’s expected), but there’s a garage about two blocks away on Aldaru iela that locals use. The hosts actually know about it, which tells you they’ve thought through the practical stuff most visitors worry about. One small thing – the shower pressure is excellent, but the hot water takes a minute to kick in, so don’t panic if it starts cold. Overall, if you want to stay somewhere that feels like Riga rather than just any European city, and you appreciate having space to actually relax instead of just crash, this place delivers. The sauna alone makes it worth booking, especially if you’re visiting during the colder months when stepping outside feels like a personal attack.

Reviews

• Almost too roomy. – Ånund from Norway – 8 May 2025 (10/10)

  Extremely good location. Roomy. Good appliances.
  
  Small things that are appreciated, water, coffee and fresh milk was in the kitchen and basic hygiene articles were in every bathroom.
  
  The sauna was really nice but takes a while to get hot.
  
  What could be improved: Somewhat sparesly furnitured. One sofa and only bar chairs. Not a big deal but it felt empty and we had to use a stool as a table.
  
  The door to one of the toilets did not work properly.

• Exceptional – Rikard from Norway – 26 May 2025 (10/10)

  Veldig god beliggenhet. Stille og rolig inne i leiligheten selv om det ligger sentralt. Behagelige senger og en aldeles nydelig leilighet.
  Personalet var veldig hyggelig og imøtekommende, og vi hadde et flott opphold. Anbefales.
