Cat Garden Business Apartments Riga

Cat Garden Business Apartments Riga Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Cat Garden Business Apartments? The name made me expect something cutesy or gimmicky, but this place is actually dead serious about being a proper business hotel – and honestly, they nail it. I’ve stayed here twice now when work brings me to Riga, and it’s become my go-to spot in the Torņakalns area.

The location on Stirnu iela is one of those addresses that sounds random if you don’t know Riga, but it’s actually pretty clever. You’re tucked away on a quieter residential street (thank god, because some of the central hotels can be noisy as hell), but you can still walk to the Daugava riverbank in about five minutes. The tram stop at Akmens tilts is close enough that getting into Old Town is painless, and there’s a decent grocery store practically next door – which matters more than you’d think when you’re staying in an apartment-style setup. I mean, having a proper kitchenette means you’re not stuck eating hotel breakfast every day or hunting for restaurants at weird hours.

The apartments themselves feel like someone actually thought about how business travelers live. The Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out during video calls (I’ve tested this extensively), there’s proper desk space with good lighting, and the beds are firm enough that you won’t wake up with a crick in your neck. The whole place has this clean, minimal vibe – not Instagram-minimal where you can’t find anywhere to put your stuff, but actually functional. What really sold me was the laundry situation; you can actually do a load of washing without begging the front desk or hunting down a laundromat in an unfamiliar city. Small thing, but it makes longer stays so much easier.

The building itself is newer construction, which means things like proper heating (crucial in Latvia’s winters) and decent soundproofing. I’ve never had issues with noise from other guests, and the street is residential enough that you’re not dealing with late-night bar crowds or early morning delivery trucks. Check-in is refreshingly straightforward – they actually seem to understand that business travelers often arrive at odd hours and just want to get settled without a big production. The staff knows enough English to handle any issues, and honestly, in three stays I’ve never had any real problems that needed solving.

I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t the kind of place you’d book for a romantic weekend or if you want to feel pampered. There’s no fancy lobby to lounge in, no room service, no concierge arranging dinner reservations. But if you need a clean, quiet, well-equipped base for work in Riga, especially for stays longer than a couple nights, it’s hard to beat. That 9.3 rating isn’t just people being generous – it’s because the place does exactly what it promises without any fuss or disappointment. For business travel, that’s actually pretty rare.
