ATF Apartments

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “ATF Apartments” on the booking site, I wasn’t expecting much. The name doesn’t exactly scream luxury, you know? But man, this place completely caught me off guard in the best possible way. It’s tucked right along 11. novembra krastmala, which – if you don’t know Riga – is basically this beautiful riverside embankment that locals actually use for their morning jogs and evening strolls. I mean, you’re literally steps from the Daugava River, and that 9.3 rating suddenly makes perfect sense when you’re sipping coffee while watching the sunrise reflect off the water.

The apartments themselves are what I’d call “smart simple” – nothing fancy, but everything works exactly like it should. The kitchen actually has proper utensils (not those flimsy hotel minibar openers), and honestly, after staying in so many places where the WiFi cuts out every ten minutes, it was refreshing to have internet that just… worked. The check-in was surprisingly smooth too, though I’d recommend confirming your arrival time since it’s not a massive hotel with 24/7 front desk staff. What really got me was how quiet it stays at night – and this is coming from someone who’s pretty sensitive to street noise. You’d think being right in the city center would mean constant traffic, but the way the building sits along the embankment sort of shields you from the main hustle.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before booking: grab groceries at the Rimi that’s about a five-minute walk away, because having a proper kitchen makes such a difference when you’re staying more than a couple nights. Also, if you’re planning to explore Old Town (which, let’s be real, you definitely should), it’s maybe a 15-minute walk – close enough that you won’t need taxis, but far enough that you’re not dealing with the tourist crowds right outside your window. The area around the apartment gets pretty lively during summer evenings when locals head to the riverfront, but it’s the good kind of lively – families, couples, people just enjoying the space. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra two nights because, well, when you find a place that hits that sweet spot of comfortable, affordable, and actually located somewhere you want to be, why mess with it? Three stars might not sound impressive on paper, but sometimes the best places are the ones that focus on getting the basics absolutely right instead of trying to wow you with unnecessary extras.

Reviews

• Great apartment in Old town – Trevor from United Kingdom – 10 July 2025 (10/10)

  Large apartment with everything you need. Good location overlooking the river with large windows letting in lots of light. Away from the noise of the old town but within walking distance. Bus stop outside, coach and rail stations and the central market less than 10 mins walk. Would stay here again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Great apartment in a great location – Mark from United Kingdom – 9 July 2025 (9/10)

  Fantastically located property – very central – we had apartment 6 and it had great views whilst still being very quiet. They have a little left luggage area with lockable lockers which you can use for free although they ask for a donation.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom sink did not have a plug – I always travel with a universal plug so not a problem for us – but might cause an issue for other travellers

• Very good – Timtett from United Kingdom – 7 July 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: not enough cutlery – just 2 knives, 2 forks and 2 spoons

• Top-notch accommodation in Riga – Grot_man from Poland – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

  Excellent location on the edge of Riga's Old Town. Walking-distance to a huge food market and railway station. Airport bus stop ca. 100m from the apartment's entrance.
  The apartment looks like new. Very nice interior design with lots of bright colors. Excellent beds, all necessary appliances in the kitchen, very nice bathrooms.
  
  What could be improved: If you are super sensitive to noise – this apartment is close to a very busy road. Windows are new and they dampen the noise very efficiently but after opening them you are exposed to lots of noise.
  We were able to sleep comfortably with closed windows.

• Very modern, inviting and comfortable apartment – Hendrik from Germany – 26 June 2025 (9/10)

  The interior in my apartment was very modern and in good condition. The apartment was bright.
  Day curtains and curtains made of less translucent material provide privacy but do not block all the light.
  There is a ventilation in the bathroom.
  During self check-in I had some difficulties opening the key safe. When I called to ask for assistance they answered me immediately and were very helpful.
  There is a designated area for luggage storage on the second floor. You can place your luggage in a locker. It was big enough for my (relatively large) suitcase. The luggage storage could be used before check-in and after check-out. No extra fee was charged.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen is equipped with crockery and cutlery for two. Two plates, two glasses, two spoons, … Keeping in mind it is an apartment for two people this is okay but when you are actually staying with two people some more crockery and cutlery would be useful I think.
  There is not much room to hang wet towels in the bathroom.

• Superb – David from Australia – 23 June 2025 (9/10)
