Bella Riga Hotel with Self-Check in

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Bella Riga Hotel? It’s how they’ve actually figured out the self-check-in thing without making it feel cold or impersonal. I mean, I’ve stayed at places where you’re basically arguing with a kiosk at 11 PM, but here on Piena iela, they’ve got this system down to something that actually works. The whole process took maybe three minutes, and honestly, after a long travel day, not having to make small talk with desk staff was kind of perfect.

The location is one of those spots that locals probably walk past every day without thinking twice about, but as a visitor, you’re right in this sweet spot where you can actually feel like you’re in Riga rather than tourist-land. Piena iela isn’t flashy – it’s got that lived-in neighborhood feel with the kind of small cafes and corner shops where you’ll hear more Latvian than English. The trams run pretty regularly just a few blocks over, and you can walk to the Old Town in about fifteen minutes if you don’t mind the slight uphill stretch. I actually preferred it to being right in the thick of things because you get those quiet morning moments before the city really wakes up.

Now, it’s definitely a three-star place – don’t go in expecting marble bathrooms or turndown service – but everything works the way it should. The rooms are clean and surprisingly well-insulated considering how close you are to the street (I was worried about noise but slept fine). The shower has proper water pressure, which, let’s be honest, is sometimes hit or miss in this part of Europe. What I really appreciated were the little touches that show someone’s actually thinking about guests – decent WiFi that doesn’t cut out every twenty minutes, enough electrical outlets that you’re not playing musical chairs with your chargers, and windows that open properly when you want fresh air. The breakfast situation is pretty straightforward, nothing fancy but it gets the job done with local options that feel authentic rather than trying to please every possible palate.

The 7.7 rating feels about right – it’s solid, dependable, and does what it promises without any major surprises good or bad. I’d probably stay here again, especially if I was in Riga for more than just a quick tourist run. There’s something to be said for a place that lets you settle in a bit, where you can grab groceries at the little market around the corner and feel like you’re living somewhere rather than just passing through. Plus, that self-check-in thing really is handy if you’re arriving late or just want to get upstairs without the whole arrival routine.

Reviews

• Suitable for one night, bad breakfast but worth the price – Asya from Lithuania – 26 June 2025 (7/10)

  It is good for 1-2 night stays. They had enough towels and space for 4 people in one room.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast was unfortunately horrible. only 1 package of cheese, some tomato and meat products (only pork).. So we couldn’t eat anything 🙁 But the coffee machine does their job good 🙂

• Very good – Natalja from Latvia – 12 June 2025 (8/10)

  Good destination. Self chek-in.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfest. Need more vegetables and hot meals.

• Very good – Fortykxs from Latvia – 26 April 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: When i was trying to sleep there was kids who played games in hallway and it was very loud. There you can easily hear everything what is happening behind the wall.

• Very good stay – Ma from Finland – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

  As a group of friends who stayed in bella riga hotel we really like about accessibility, comfort and cleanliness. If we will go back nextime we still want to stay in this hotel. ☺️
  
  What could be improved: Nothing so far

• Good for short stay, convenient and comfortable. – Natasa from Serbia – 2 March 2025 (9/10)

  Clean and very basic room. It was good for what we needed. Very convenient because of free parking. Easy 25min walk to the Old town.
  
  What could be improved: Neighborhood is not so great, but not dangerous or anything. It’s just a lot of old houses, buildings and a field.

• Good location, checking in was a breeze and enjoyed my stay. – Vineta from Latvia – 1 March 2025 (8/10)

  The self- check in was super convenient, the bed comfortable and room clean.
  
  What could be improved: Wanted more options at breakfast, but it was good for the money- sandwiches, cereals and a selection of sweet pastries.

• Good quality for it’s value – Anastasija from Latvia – 19 February 2025 (8/10)

  The location was perfect for the cause: variety of public transportation in direct access, hypermarket nearby. Clean warm room, just what you need after a long day; quite comfy bed and okay shower.
  
  What could be improved: One of ceiling lights wasn’t working, but it didn’t affect us much.

• Superb – Vladislav from Lithuania – 26 August 2024 (9/10)

  Easy check-in
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast is very poor

• Superb – Igor from Spain – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  Very good price-quality balance. Kind staff, easy check-in process. Clean and tidy.
  
  What could be improved: Location, however it is connected to price-quality balance.
  And I would work a bit more on breakfast options. It was a bit scarce. With Latvian quality and variety of food, I guess it may be a bit better.

• Good – Bille from Estonia – 8 August 2024 (7/10)

  Was clean.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast. Paper plates and paper cups.. Dissapointed..
