Ausekla Deluxe Apartment

Ausekla Deluxe Apartment Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Ausekla Deluxe Apartment” on my booking confirmation, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The name sounds a bit… well, generic? But actually staying here completely changed my perspective on what a 4-star place in Riga’s Old Town can offer.

The location on Ausekla iela is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the tourist chaos on Kalķu or Valņu streets. You’re literally a 3-minute walk from the Freedom Monument, and I mean a real 3 minutes, not travel website “3 minutes.” The building itself has this quietly elegant thing going on – it’s not flashy, but you can tell someone put thought into the renovation. What really got me was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re so close to everything. I mean, sure, you’ll hear some weekend revelry if you keep the windows open, but it’s not like those places right on Livu laukums where you’re basically sleeping in a nightclub.

The apartment itself… honestly, it feels more like staying in a really well-appointed local’s place than a hotel. The kitchen actually works (shocking, I know), and they stock it with decent coffee – not the sad instant stuff you usually get. The bathroom has this rainfall shower that’s genuinely great, though fair warning: the water pressure can be a bit intense first thing in the morning. Storage space is generous too, which you don’t always get in these historic buildings where they’re working around 800-year-old walls. I appreciated little touches like having a proper full-length mirror and enough electrical outlets that I wasn’t constantly unplugging things to charge my phone.

What really sets this place apart is how it bridges that gap between hotel service and apartment independence. There’s daily housekeeping if you want it, but you’re not stuck with hotel breakfast times or worrying about disturbing other guests when you come back from exploring Riga’s surprisingly good late-night food scene. The staff – and I use that term loosely since it feels more like friendly neighbors helping out – genuinely know the neighborhood. They pointed me toward this little bakery on nearby Elizabetes iela that I never would have found otherwise, and suggested the best times to visit St. Peter’s Church when it’s not packed with tour groups.

The 9.4 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in Riga, but it nails what most travelers actually want: a comfortable base that feels authentically local, practical amenities that work properly, and that sweet spot location where you can walk to everything important without feeling like you’re living in a tourist trap. Plus, if you’re planning to explore beyond the Old Town, the tram stops on Brīvības bulvāris are maybe 5 minutes away, so getting to places like the Art Nouveau district or even the beach at Jūrmala is straightforward.

• Top quality accommodation at all levels. – William from United Kingdom – 28 June 2025 (10/10)

  Fantastic quality accommodation in a great location for tram etc. Plenty of light and space. Everything has been thought out thoroughly to enhance a stay.
  
  What could be improved: The main entrance to the building let down the quality of what was inside, but I accept that this might be difficult to remedy !

  What could be improved: Nothing

• Exceptional – Ernestas from United Kingdom – 5 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very nice clean property.
  
  What could be improved: Only suggestion, there's only fitted bed sheets to put on a sofa bed, and it's impossible to put on due to shape of sofa bed, so we need to put towels and other things to cover gaps. I would be great, just a simple bed sheets without the elastic.

• Poor sleep in a lovely flat – Sini from Finland – 21 April 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, flat was clean and bright. Great kitchen and a wonderful bathroom with a bathtub, rainshower and a sauna. Friendly owners.
  
  What could be improved: Bed and sofa quite uncomfortable so resting was compromised! A proper mattress and some good pillows would help. Also disappointing to have a fireplace but no wood to use it!

• Perfect place for a couple wishing to spend a romantic weekend in Riga – Agnieszka from Germany – 16 December 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was beautiful. For a couple it’s a big space, with a bedroom, separate living room and a big kitchen and dining area, with its own fireplace. The bathroom is spacious with bathtub and separate shower. The cherry on top was the sauna, which again was very spacious for two people. The property was very clean, with all necessary equipment. The apartment is nicely decorated and has a luxurious feel to it. The location for us was perfect. It’s not in the middle of the old district, but it’s more quiet, relaxed part of town, still within short walking distance to the old district. The houses in the area are beautiful, and the proximity to parks was also very appreciated.

• Beautiful modern apartment stay – Sophie from United Kingdom – 9 December 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful apartment and very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Felt like home away from home. Host was very accommodating and friendly, always available to talk. Had all amenities you could need. Good location and very nice breakfast spot only 1 minute walk away. Would recommend this place to anyone.

• Exceptional – Jekaterina from United Kingdom – 23 October 2024 (10/10)

  Very clear apartment. Was so nice to stay in. Close to the centre. Quite.

• Exceptional – Liana from Ireland – 13 October 2024 (10/10)

  The most beautiful well kept clean and adorable apartment I stayed in. We travel quite often for work but this was beyond my expectations ❤️

• One of the nicest apartments I have experienced in my travels – Andreea from Germany – 26 September 2024 (10/10)

  We loved the apartment, nicely decorated, clean and well equipped. Good options around the corner for breakfast. Also, within walking distance from the city center, and the walk was highly enjoyable every time.
  
  What could be improved: The interior of the building is a bit worn down, but it’s not a big deal.
