Apartments Jurmala Dreams Overview

When I first stepped into Apartments Jurmala Dreams, I was hit by that oddly comforting smell of freshly baked rye bread drifting in from the bakery on Matīsa iela – you know, the one that does that whole “no sugar, just pure rye” thing? It’s a small detail, but it instantly says you’re in the right place. The lobby has a minimalist vibe, but the staff greets you with that genuine, “Welcome to Riga” smile, which honestly feels like a first‑time hug. Check‑in is quick, no long lines, and they hand you a small, handwritten card with the local bus routes you’ll need – handy if you’re planning to hop off the tram at the old town or just stroll to the Freedom Monument. Parking is a bit of a hassle; there’s a tiny paid lot behind the building, but the city’s free street parking is a stone’s throw away, though you’ll need a permit after 8 pm. I’ve parked more times in that spot than I can count, and the pebbled driveway keeps your car from getting a dent, which is a win.

The apartment itself is a cozy 2-bedroom unit that feels more like a home than a hotel. The living area opens onto a little balcony with a view of the Riga skyline – the late‑afternoon sun paints the buildings gold, and you can hear the distant hum of traffic from Pāturīšu iela. Inside, there’s a kitchenette with a small fridge, a kettle, and a set of copper pans that look like they’re begging to be used for a quick pasta. The bed is a bit on the firm side, but there’s a thick, down‑filled comforter that makes you want to stay tucked in. I did notice the Wi‑Fi can be a bit spotty near the elevators – a quick reboot usually fixes it. The bathroom is small but functional; the shower has that cold, invigorating tap that sets a brisk tone for the day. I’d say the biggest downside is the noise at night – the occasional traffic from the adjacent street can buzz through the walls, but it’s not a full‑blown wail; it’s more like a faint, rhythmic drone that’s oddly soothing.

What I love most about this place is how it sits right in the middle of the city’s pulse. A few minutes’ walk brings you to the old market on Rūpniecības iela, where you can try fresh smoked fish or a slice of pear tart that melts in your mouth. The next block has a tiny, independent coffee shop that serves the most aromatic espresso – a must‑try after a morning of sightseeing. If you’re a night owl, the quiet hours are surprisingly serene; by 11 pm the city’s chatter fades, and you can hear the distant bells of the St. Gertrude church. I’ve found that staying here during the shoulder season (late September to early November) offers the best of both worlds: fewer crowds, still warm evenings, and the chance to smell the crisp autumn air while sipping a glass of local white wine from the apartment’s small wine rack. The 3‑star rating of 9.6 is a testament to the combination of quality and charm, and honestly, for the price you get a genuine slice of Riga life instead of a generic hotel experience. If you’re planning a trip where you want to feel the city’s heartbeat while still having a cozy spot to retreat to, this place is your sweet spot.

Hotels near me in Riga offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Riga Cathedral, House of the Blackheads, and the famous Art Nouveau district.

Reviews of Apartments Jurmala Dreams

  • Highly recommend – Marika from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

    The place is very specious, it has 2 big rooms with plenty of beds for sleep. It's made with sea themed interior which is bright and fun, different from ordinary which i love. The host is very helpful. If you drive there's a car park in the back of a flat. Everything you need is around you, very nicely located. Sunny weather made the place even cosier,felt like there's a beach behind that window 😅☀️🌷🫶🏼
    Strongly recommend.

    What could be improved: Can't think of anything.

  • Exceptional – Rebecca from United Kingdom – 9 November 2024 (10/10)

    We liked absolutely everything, the quirky apartment, the size was fantastic, it's huge, and the location was perfect, walkable to everything and if we wanted transport, one side trams, the other bus. But most of all we liked our Host Andris, who went out of his way to make our stay perfect, nothing was too much trouble. Straight after booking, he sent directions from the airport. He met us on arrival at the apartment and gave us all the basics we needed to know to enjoy the city. Any extra information we needed on an attraction he sourced the details for us. He really is the perfect host. Riga is a wonderful city to explore and coming back to the apartment in the evening made it even more wonderful!

    What could be improved: Nothing!!

  • Marine style stay in comfy place with one of the best owners of rooms I have ever met – Magdalena from Czech Republic – 23 December 2023 (10/10)

    The owner is truly amazing person! He was explaining to us in details how to do sightseeing in Riga, what is worth to visit, where to go, how to plan the sightseeing, where to eat, totally everything you need to know when you are in a new city and you want to get 100% out of the visit! Andris is fantastic owner! Apartment is also 100% magic, decorated with trinkets related to naval style and you can really feel like you're on a boat. It's visible that owner has put hearth into preparing really unique apartment where you're like captain of the ship!
