Akropole Apartment

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Akropole Apartment” on the 6th floor of a building on Salacas iela, I wasn’t expecting much. Three stars, random street I’d never heard of, you know? But honestly, this place completely caught me off guard in the best way possible.

The thing about Salacas iela is that it’s just far enough from the Old Town chaos that you can actually sleep at night, but close enough that you’re not stuck taking taxis everywhere. I mean, you can walk to the cathedral spires in about 15 minutes if you cut through the park, and there’s this little grocery store downstairs that saves you when you realize you forgot toothpaste (been there). The 6th floor thing actually works in your favor – yeah, there’s no elevator, but the views over the rooftops are pretty spectacular, especially at sunset when the light hits all those red tiles just right. Plus, being up high means you’re not dealing with street noise, which is clutch if you’re trying to recover from exploring Riga’s legendary nightlife.

What really gets me about this place is how it feels like someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The owner clearly put thought into the little things – there’s good coffee in the kitchen (not that instant stuff), the shower pressure is surprisingly excellent, and the wifi actually works everywhere, not just near the router. The apartment itself is clean and well-maintained, with that sort of understated Scandinavian-meets-Baltic aesthetic that doesn’t try too hard. You’ve got everything you need to feel settled, whether you’re there for a weekend or a week. I particularly loved having a proper kitchen because eating out every meal in Riga adds up fast, and sometimes you just want to grab some local bread and cheese from the Central Market and make yourself a simple lunch. The location also puts you walking distance from some of the city’s best kept secrets – there’s this incredible used bookstore around the corner that locals frequent, and a traditional Latvian restaurant that doesn’t even have English menus but serves the most amazing grey peas with bacon. You won’t find either in your typical tourist guides, but they’re the kind of places that make you feel like you’re experiencing the real Riga, not just the postcard version. That 9.6 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen – it reflects what happens when someone actually cares about their guests’ experience instead of just going through the motions.

• Great – Kristaps from Latvia – 30 November 2023 (8/10)

  Great apartment, cosy, clean, got it for good value.Overall great stay, would recomend.
  
  What could be improved: Not to be nit-pickey but maybe the bed in the master bedroom could use a different matress. It wast uncomfortable, just wobbly I guess. And more variety in pillows. The ones on the bed were a bit too soft for my liking. Other than that, it was great!

• Exceptional – Jekaterina from Lithuania – 5 July 2025 (10/10)

  Очень уютно, комфортно, чисто. В душе был и гель и шампунь. На кухне было всё необходимое и чай, кофе, сахар, соль и даже подсолнечное масло. Рядом находится Akropole с большой максимой
