Čaka Street Royal Apartment 42 Overview
First Impressions
Walking into Čaka Street Royal Apartment 42 feels like discovering someone’s well-kept secret in Rīga. The building sits on Aleksandra Čaka Street, and honestly, you’d walk right past it if you didn’t know what you were looking for — which is exactly what makes it special. This isn’t your typical hotel experience, but rather a proper apartment that gives you a real taste of how locals live in Latvia’s capital.
The Space Itself
The room setup here is what really won me over. You’re getting a full apartment experience, complete with a proper kitchen that actually has everything you need — not just a mini-fridge and a prayer. I mean, after weeks of hotel breakfast buffets, being able to make your own coffee in the morning feels like a small miracle. The space has this lived-in comfort that makes you want to kick off your shoes and actually relax, you know?
Location & Getting Around
Aleksandra Čaka Street puts you right in the thick of things without the tourist chaos. You’re close enough to walk to Old Town when you want that medieval charm, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night. The neighborhood has this authentic Rīga vibe — local cafes, small shops, people going about their daily lives. Plus, there’s parking right on site, which honestly saved me a headache since driving in European city centers can be… well, let’s just say it’s not always fun.
What Makes It Work
Here’s the thing about this place — couples really seem to get it. There’s something about having your own space, your own kitchen, your own little corner of Rīga that just works for romantic getaways. You can grab fresh ingredients from the local market, cook dinner together, and pretend you’re temporary locals. The apartment has this cozy intimacy that big hotels just can’t match, and the fact that it’s tucked away on a residential street adds to that \”our little secret\” feeling.
Why Guests Love It
What strikes me most is how this place delivers exactly what it promises — no more, no less. You’re not paying for fancy amenities you won’t use or a lobby that looks like a museum. Instead, you get a comfortable, well-equipped space in a great part of town with the freedom to live like a local for a few days. The 8.4 rating makes perfect sense when you consider that guests are rating it for what it actually is, not comparing it to some five-star fantasy. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that just… work.

Good – Ervins from Latvia – 26 November 2023 (7/10)
Good place for that kinda value. Shower has low pressure so it’s a bit problematic to use it but everything works. And it was chilly because of poor heating. There was extra oil-heater who need some maintenance 😁 Did not work at all 🙈
