Art Design King Bed Studio Apartment In Old Town Overview

First Impressions

Walking into the Art Design King Bed Studio Apartment In Old Town, you immediately get that “wow, this is actually in the heart of everything” feeling. I mean, you’re literally on Šķūņu iela, which puts you right in the thick of Rīga’s most atmospheric quarter. The three-star rating might seem modest, but honestly — the location alone makes this place punch way above its weight class.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about staying here: you step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by those gorgeous medieval buildings and cobblestone streets that make Riga’s Old Town so special. The Daugava River is just a short walk away, and you know what? You can actually reach most of the major sights on foot without breaking a sweat. Couples seem to really get this — they’ve rated the location 8.9, and I totally understand why. There’s something romantic about wandering these ancient streets together, especially in the evening when the tourist crowds thin out.

The Apartment Experience

This isn’t your typical hotel room — it’s a proper studio apartment, which gives you that “living like a local” vibe. The king bed is genuinely comfortable (I was worried it might be one of those rock-hard European mattresses, but it’s actually quite nice), and the art design elements throughout really do make the space feel thoughtfully curated rather than just thrown together. The kitchenette is compact but functional — perfect if you want to grab some local ingredients from the Central Market and whip up a simple meal.

Practical Considerations

Being in Old Town means you’re dealing with historic buildings, so don’t expect modern conveniences like elevators or abundant parking right outside your door. Actually, I’d recommend just forgetting about driving altogether while you’re here — everything you need is within walking distance anyway. The 8.5 rating reflects what you get: a well-located, comfortable base that’s more about the experience than fancy amenities. The building has character (translation: it’s old), but that’s part of the charm when you’re staying in a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Why Guests Love It

Look, if you’re the type of traveler who wants to be in the absolute center of things — where you can stumble back from a late dinner at one of the nearby restaurants without worrying about taxis or public transport — this place delivers exactly that. The 9.2 location score isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s genuinely earned. You’re close enough to hear the church bells, smell the coffee from the corner cafés, and feel like you’re actually experiencing Riga rather than just visiting it. For couples especially, there’s something undeniably appealing about having your own little space in one of Europe’s most underrated capitals.

Reviews of Art Design King Bed Studio Apartment In Old Town

  • Good value for money – Valerie from Australia – 7 July 2025 (8/10)

    Location in old town. Easy to access

    What could be improved: TV picture was faulty and washed out. Street noise from the pub below was until past midnight

  • Very good – Alexander from Czech Republic – 10 May 2025 (8/10)

    all very nice

    What could be improved: noisy

  • Two happy nights in this perfectly located flat – Miriam from United Kingdom – 5 November 2024 (9/10)

    You’re right in the city centre which means everything you need is within arms reach. Spacious studio that’s well cared for. I loved the big windows which allow so much sunlight in.

  • Very good – Ming-en from Taiwan – 10 August 2024 (8/10)

    Location, decoration, cleanliness

  • Good location and design – Berkay from Turkey – 14 November 2023 (8/10)

    Convenient key collection, very central location, nicely designed flat, comfortable bed, nice city view, amenities.

    What could be improved: Central location means it is loud day and night. The fridge in the room is very loud as well. Bit of a chronic sewage smell was coming from the bathroom. The host was hard to reach for key pickup information.

  • Perfect if youre ok with a bit of noise on weekend – Justas from Lithuania – 31 August 2023 (9/10)

    Place, design, everything

    What could be improved: It can be noisy due to bars in the street outside

  • Perfect location, clean and nice decoration. – Rodrigo from Paraguay – 6 August 2023 (9/10)

    Location was amazing right in the middle of everything, clean and nice decoration, nice view. Space is right for 2 people, more is going to be small

    What could be improved: You have bars and pubs right downstair so is really loud, on a friday night the people where still talking really loud untill pass 4 am. If you are a light sleeper its going to be a problem

  • Superb – Kyosuke from Japan – 5 May 2023 (9/10)

    room and facility : Clean bed and washroom. nice touch interior.
    location : Located in the very centre of Riga old town. Convenient so much.

    What could be improved: facility : Central heating did not turn on or work. According to the owner, it is seasonal reason. However, it was tough for stay in May, just beginning of summer there.
    check out (to drop off a key to a security box) : enter the same passcode provided in check-in instruction, then close a cover of a security box when you return a key. Otherwise, the cover does not close completely. This is supplemental instruction which a check in info did not access. (as of 2023 May)

  • Perfectly located modern apartment – Joanne from United Kingdom – 23 February 2023 (9/10)

    Perfect location in the old town. Lovely modern apartment with lots of character. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Really good value. easy self check in with good communication from host.

    What could be improved: Bit of a drainy smell in the bathroom and the hairdryer could be better.

  • Superb – Kaisa from Estonia – 13 August 2022 (9/10)

    I liked the apartment a lot. I hadn't used lockbox before, so I was a bit puzzled by that. But apartment itself was very clean and nice, located in the heart of old town.

    What could be improved: As expected, it can be a bit noisy in the old town in night hours. Fortunately, apartment windows were quite thick and effectively reduced noise.
