Aparthotel Amella

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Aparthotel Amella? It’s tucked away on Emīlijas Benjamiņas iela – honestly, I had to look that street up twice before my first visit – but once you find it, you realize you’ve stumbled onto something pretty special in Rīga. The building itself has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream “tourist hotel,” which I actually loved. It feels more like you’re staying in a really well-appointed apartment that happens to have hotel services, and I mean that in the best possible way.

The location is sort of perfect if you ask me. You’re close enough to the Old Town that you can walk there without breaking a sweat (maybe 15 minutes at a leisurely pace), but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the weekend crowds stumbling past your window at 2 AM. The neighborhood has this quiet, residential feel – lots of locals going about their business, a few cafes that aren’t trying too hard to be Instagram-worthy, you know? I found myself actually enjoying the walk back after dinner because the streets have character without being overwhelming. There’s decent parking nearby too, which honestly saved my sanity since driving in Rīga’s center can be… well, let’s just say it’s an adventure.

What really impressed me was how they’ve thought through the little things that matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two. The apartments – because that’s really what they are – have proper kitchenettes with everything you’d actually need, not just a sad mini-fridge and a kettle. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about this stuff), and the bathrooms have that satisfying feeling of being recently renovated without losing any warmth. The staff at check-in were refreshingly straightforward – no fake enthusiasm, just helpful people who clearly know their neighborhood well. One of them actually gave me a handwritten list of local spots that turned out to be gold, including this little bakery around the corner that I probably walked past three times before noticing it. The 9.3 rating makes total sense when you experience how smoothly everything runs – it’s not flashy, it’s just… right. Four stars feels accurate too; it’s definitely elevated without being stuffy about it. If you’re the type who appreciates having your own space while traveling but still wants the backup of hotel services, this place hits that sweet spot perfectly.

• Excellently appointed and wonderfully modern. – Carolina from Romania – 30 June 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent well serviced new modern apartment
  
  What could be improved: The two short sets of descending stairs to access the reception/property are tricky when you have large suitcases. Personally wish I had stayed in old town but this wasn’t the fault of the hotel.

• Perfect Stay — We Will Definitely Come Back! – Shwani from Netherlands – 29 June 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and quiet — it truly felt like a home away from home. It had a bathroom and a washing machine, and it was clear that every detail was thoughtfully considered. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, including essentials like oil and vinegar. The refrigerator even had bottled water ready for us.
  
  Located right in the city center, everything was within walking distance. The apartment also includes a parking space, which was very convenient. The staff were friendly and very helpful throughout our stay.
  
  The apartment is cleaned once a week, but you can request extra cleaning for an additional fee. Using a QR code, you can easily request anything you might need for your stay, from different pillows and an anti-slip mat for the shower to laundry capsules, slippers, a breadroaster, extra coffee, or even surprises like wine and balloons. There’s also a spa inside the aparthotel with a discount for guests.
  
  It was a lovely place, and we will definitely come back. Plus, you get a discount on your second booking if you book through their website.
  
  A big thank you to the hosts for making our stay so comfortable and enjoyable!
  
  What could be improved: Honestly, we couldn’t find anything negative to say about this place.

• Exceptional – Eleni from Sweden – 28 June 2025 (10/10)

  We spend 2 nights on Amella hotel this summer and it covered our expectations more than we expected.
  First of all the hotel was so clean and warm-looking and it was smelling so good!
  Our room was perfect and no one wasn't bother us.
  We want to mention the kindness and the help of the personal on everything with asked! Everybody at the reception was very glad to help us with any question we had, they suggested us about restaurants, bars, cruises, the market, souvenirs shops,sights etc.
  If some day we will come again to Riga, we will be at Amella Hotel for sure!😌
  
  What could be improved: Only a few things there are that we didn't help us. The hotel has a mini bar at the living room by the entrance with drinks, sweets and fast food on a fridge. Also, the hotel is divided into two parts with external doors to the back yard. So, our room was in the second part and if we would like to buy something from the mini bar we must get fully dressed and go outside in the middle of the night to eat something from there.
  Also, we asked for an iron and there wasn't any available and they gave us a steamer. It helped us to unrinkle our clothes but we would prefer to iron instead.
