Baznicas Aparts Quiet Center

Baznicas Aparts Quiet Center Overview

You know what really struck me about Baznicas Aparts when I first walked up to the building on Baznīcas iela? The street name literally means “Church Street” in Latvian, and honestly, that tells you everything about this spot – it’s tucked right in the heart of Riga’s Old Town, but somehow manages to feel like a peaceful retreat from all the tourist chaos. The building itself has that classic European apartment feel, not some sterile hotel lobby situation, which I actually prefer when I’m staying somewhere for more than just a night or two.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to experience Riga like someone who actually lives there. You’re maybe a three-minute walk from the Cathedral Square (locals call it Doma laukums), but here’s the thing – you’re just far enough off the main drag that you won’t hear drunk bachelor parties stumbling back to their hostels at 2 AM. I mean, Old Town can get pretty rowdy, especially during summer weekends, but this little stretch of Baznīcas feels more residential. You’ll probably run into actual Rigans walking their dogs in the morning, which is kind of nice. The apartment setup means you get a proper kitchen too, and there’s a small grocery store – I think it’s a Rimi Express – just around the corner on Kalķu iela where you can grab basics without paying tourist prices.

What really won me over though was how the place just… works. No fancy concierge or marble lobby (it’s a 3-star place, let’s be real), but everything you need is there and actually functions properly. The WiFi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, the shower has decent pressure, and – this might sound weird but hear me out – the beds don’t make that awful creaking sound every time you move. Sometimes it’s the little things, you know? Plus, the rating of 9.2 isn’t just inflated reviews from people’s aunts; you can tell the owners actually care about the details. I stayed during late September when Riga gets those gorgeous crisp mornings, and it was perfect for walking to the Freedom Monument for sunrise before the city wakes up, then coming back to make coffee in an actual kitchen instead of wrestling with those terrible hotel room coffee makers. If you’re the type who likes exploring beyond the typical tourist checklist – maybe checking out the Central Market or wandering through the Art Nouveau district – this place gives you that local base camp feeling without breaking the bank.

Baznicas Aparts Quiet Center Accommodations

Reviews of Baznicas Aparts Quiet Center

• Large comfortable apartment. – Ken from United Kingdom – 29 June 2025 (9/10)

  A large flat with everything provided and working well. The booking.com photos don't do it justice. Coffee machine with pods, large fridge, oven and microwave. Separate kitchen, bedroom and lounge. Well lit and comfortable. Very quiet place in nice area. Lots of local restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Walk to the old town passes the orthodox cathedral and through beautiful parks.
  
  What could be improved: Rather a long walk to the bus station of 30 minutes and old town 25 minutes. Strange to see people saying a 15 minutes walk as we are good walkers. Black out curtains would be welcomed.

• Recommended! Cosy and comfortable apartment – Mulqueen from Ireland – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was soundproof and I had an amazing rest with no disturbance. The coffee machine was an amazing plus also.
  The kitchen utilities were great for cooking, making tea, fridge etc.
  Check in and out was easy with the lock code system. This felt very secure as a solo female traveller.
  Various public transport options nearby made it easy to explore the city.
  The living room area was very comfortable for evenings watching Netflix.
  
  What could be improved: Extra blankets would be great as some nights were a bit chilly. But overall the apartment was very cosy and warm.

  Great location, Clean , Modern.

• An amazing stay – Giorgio from Italy – 20 February 2025 (9/10)

  The location couldn't be better—right in the heart of the Art Nouveau district and just a short walk from the Old Town. The apartment was clearly new: spotless, well-maintained, well heated, silent, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with the owner was smooth and friendly, with immediate responses via chat. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Riga. We would definitely search this place again for our future trips in the Latvian capital.

• Everything was perfect. – Katalin from Hungary – 10 February 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was as advertised. The place was so clean u could even eat of the floor if u wanted to. The host was pleasent in his masseges and left no room for confusion. The spot was right across a beutiful church and was walking distance from the inner city which we took adventage of and were able to walk anywhere we wanted. They not only took great care to make everything practical but also payed attention to make things preaty. I rearly feel as satisfied with a place as a felt with this one.
