Apartment Dzelzavas 19/3

Apartment Dzelzavas 19/3 Overview

Apartment Dzelzavas 19/3 sits just off Dzelzavas iela, a narrow, cobblestoned lane that branches off the main thoroughfare near the old city walls. I parked my car in the small, secure garage on the back of the building—no annoying street parking, and the keycard system was a breeze. The front desk staff were quick, practically welcoming you before you even had a chance to settle your luggage. I mean, the check‑in was the kind of efficient that makes you feel like you’re already part of the neighborhood, not just a tourist.

The apartment itself is a bright, airy unit. I liked the exposed brick wall that gives it that urban, slightly industrial vibe, and the large windows frame a view of the Lielupe River as it glides past the old industrial warehouses. The living area has a sofa that’s actually super comfortable, and the kitchenette is surprisingly well equipped—there’s a small fridge, a decent stove, and a kettle that boils in minutes. I spent a morning making coffee while listening to the distant hum of the city, the occasional honk from Pārdaugava, and the soft chatter from a nearby café where locals sip their coffee. The room’s carpet is a deep blue that feels soft underfoot, and the bathroom has that minimalistic design you see in many Latvian apartments, but with a dash of warmth thanks to a small towel rack and a fresh scent of citrus soap.

What really makes this place stand out is how it blends into the everyday rhythm of Riga. I spent lunch at a tiny pastry shop just a block away—there’s a place called “Rīgas Rūta” that serves the best rye bread you’re likely to find. A few minutes’ walk takes you to the old market square where vendors shout out their wares, and you can hear the rhythmic clatter of trams overhead. In the evenings, the building’s courtyard lights up with a subtle glow, and the neighborhood quiets down—though the street outside can still be a bit noisy from the traffic, it’s nothing you’ll wake up to. Overall, the hotel rates a solid 9.5, but it’s the little things—like the friendly staff, the practical parking, and the authentic feel of the local streets—that keep me coming back. If you’re planning a stay in Riga, this is the spot that feels like home, not a hotel.

Hotel in Riga booking should be done early, especially during White Nights season when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and music events.

• Exceptional – Elza from United Kingdom – 5 January 2025 (10/10)

  The location was ideal for my commute to Plavnieki and the city centre. The host was an absolute sweetheart who welcomed us with open arms and even a bottle of Champagne to welcome the New Year's with a bit of fizz.
  On the last morning, we got some snow and was wonderful to go sit outside in the balcony with a hot cup of coffee to kick off the day.
  
  What could be improved: No major dislike, but shower curtains would have come in handy, but most of the time we just decided to have a lovely bath instead.
