A22 Hotel

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about A22 Hotel? The address itself – Ausekļa iela 22 – puts you right in the heart of Riga’s cultural quarter, and I mean literally a five-minute walk from the Freedom Monument. When I first pulled up (parking’s actually not terrible here, which is saying something for central Riga), the building had this understated elegance that didn’t scream “look at me” like some of the flashier places around Doma laukums. The entrance feels more like walking into a sophisticated friend’s home than a typical hotel lobby, honestly.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve nailed that sweet spot between luxury and livability. The rooms – and I’m talking about the standard ones, not just the suites – actually feel like spaces where you’d want to spend time beyond just sleeping. The soundproofing is remarkable too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re this close to the Old Town’s weekend revelry. I was on the third floor facing the street and barely heard the trams rumbling by on Brīvības, which impressed me. The staff genuinely knows their stuff about Riga – not just the tourist highlights but the kind of local spots that make a trip memorable. They pointed me toward this incredible little cafe on nearby Strēlnieku that I never would’ve found otherwise.

Here’s the thing about staying here: you’re positioned perfectly for both the medieval charm of Vecrīga and the Art Nouveau district that most visitors completely miss. Walk ten minutes east and you’re among some of the most stunning Jugendstil buildings in Europe – seriously, Elizabetes and Alberta streets are architectural gold mines. The hotel itself reflects this attention to design without being pretentious about it. Even small touches like the lighting in the corridors and the way they’ve arranged the common areas show someone was actually thinking about how people move through and use these spaces. Check-in was smooth (they had my room ready at 2 PM, which doesn’t always happen), and the concierge service feels personal rather than scripted. Sure, you’ll pay a premium for this level of comfort and location, but when you’re getting a 9.3 rating and five-star service in a city where great hotels can be hit-or-miss, it’s worth it. Plus, you’re a short walk from everything that matters – the Central Market, the Daugava riverfront, and those incredible beer gardens that come alive in summer.

• Amazing comfort rooms, uncomfortable breakfast – Madara from Latvia – 8 January 2025 (8/10)

  The best bed and linen we’ve experienced so far.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast. I understand that the hotel is empty, but there are standards for hotels and if the breakfast is a la carte as in this case, it would be nice to come up with more comfortable solution for guests- I had to ask for one slice of cheese and few cucamber slices. Ordered an omlet and few slices of trout fillet, which they forgot to bring. All in all breakfast was so bad that it quite ruined the weekend getaway for us. This was the third stay in this hotel and before it was much better.

• Everything was perfect 🤍🇱🇻 – Nicolas from France – 1 January 2025 (10/10)
