Apartment Matīsa

Apartment Matīsa Overview

You know what struck me first about Apartment Matīsa? It’s one of those places that feels like you’re staying in someone’s actual home rather than a sterile hotel room. The building sits right on Matīsa iela – honestly, if you’re not familiar with Riga, this is a pretty solid residential street that locals actually live on, not some touristy strip. I mean, you’ve got real neighborhood bakeries and small shops within walking distance, which is something you don’t always find with typical hotel locations.

The apartment itself punches way above its 3-star rating – seriously, that 9.4 score makes complete sense once you’re inside. The owners have clearly put thought into the little things that actually matter when you’re traveling. The kitchen is properly equipped (not just for show), the wifi actually works throughout the space, and the beds are comfortable enough that you won’t wake up feeling like you slept on a medieval torture device. What really got me though was how quiet it stays, even being on a main street. The windows do their job, and honestly, Matīsa iela isn’t one of those crazy busy roads anyway – it’s got that sweet spot of being connected but not chaotic.

Here’s the thing about staying here – you’re about a 15-minute walk to Old Town, which sounds far but it’s actually perfect. You avoid the tourist crowds and inflated prices right outside your door, but you can still easily get to all the main sights. The tram stops nearby if you don’t feel like walking, and there’s decent parking if you’re driving (which, let’s be honest, can be a nightmare in central Riga). I also loved that you’re close to some of Riga’s Art Nouveau district – those incredible buildings are just a few streets over, and most tourists never venture past the obvious spots to see them. The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward too, none of that awkward key-passing or complicated instructions. Sometimes the simplest things make the biggest difference when you just want to drop your bags and start exploring.

Reviews of Apartment Matīsa

• Exceptional – Mamedova from Latvia – 10 June 2025 (10/10)

• Very good – Frederico from Portugal – 26 April 2025 (8/10)

  Very well set up, good use of available space
  
  What could be improved: Extremely small apartment

• Good at the basics, but lacking in a few key details – Marina from Germany – 2 May 2025 (6/10)

  Location was central, bed was comfy, everything was compact but handy.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately, the coffee machine was missing? Though there was coffee in store, I did not see any means anywhere for making it. Please put that coffee maker or French press or whatever OUT on the counter.
  
  The bathroom was more dire, as the drain was slow-draining and the containment for water at the bottom was a square ridge no more than 1 inch high. If I took a shower longer than three minutes, there was already water slopping out on the floor. Awkward! Sink is way too high for comfort, and there was no wastebasket in there.
  
  Finally, I did not appreciate getting a call after I checked out, with someone asking suspiciously if I had been two people. What, because I cooked and ate all my meals in my room and ended up using two towels? It felt quite rude.

• Lieliski, tīri apartamenti, kur par visu padomāts, lai klients justos ļoti gaidīts. – Elīna from Latvia – 11 January 2025 (10/10)

  Jauni, mūsdienīgi apartamenti, kas atrodas autentiskā stilā renovētā mājā. Laba atrašanās vieta, vecpilsēta pastaigas attālumā, blakus arī sabiedriskais transports.
  Apartamentos ļoti tīrs, viss jauns, patīkami, ka piedomāts par sīkumiem un niansēm. Pieejama tēja un kafija. Blakus apartamentiem atrodas franču kafejnīca, kur brokastīs nobaudīt lielisku tikko ceptu kruasānu.
  Viegla un saprotama reģistrēšanās, jutos gaidīta un noteikti šeit atgriezīšos pavasarī.
