Cat Garden Family Apartments Riga

Cat Garden Family Apartments Riga Overview

Cat Garden Family Apartments Riga is tucked into a quiet corner of Stirnu iela—just a few steps from the bustling Tērbatas square, where locals flaunt their street food stalls. I first heard about this place from a friend who swore it was the only spot in the city that could make a family trip feel like a proper homecoming. Walk into the lobby and you’re greeted by a warm, if slightly worn, sofa that smells faintly of fresh coffee. The staff check you in with a casual “Good evening, we’re glad you’re here,” and you’ll notice the front desk isn’t swamped; they actually have time to chat, which is rare in European cities where the touristic rush can feel relentless.

The apartments themselves are a practical dream. Imagine a kitchen that feels more like a studio than a hotel kitchenette—plenty of counter space, a decent fridge, and a tiny espresso machine that actually works (most) and a stove that’s easy to use, so you can whip up a quick pasta in the evenings. The living area has a couch that’s not too stiff, but you’ll find a few cat pictures that make you grin because, honestly, the name “Cat Garden” is literally the vibe. The bed is a bit on the firm side, but the sheets feel as soft as a fresh autumn leaf, and there’s a great blackout curtain for those who want that dark, restful sleep after a day of wandering.

I love how it’s near the old city but far enough away that you can hear the distant traffic and not the constant honking. The noise level is decent—small dogs on the block, the occasional street musician, but otherwise peaceful, especially after 9 p.m. If you’re driving, there’s a small paid parking lot just outside the courtyard; the attendants are friendly and will let you know the rates. If you’re walking, you’re basically in the middle of a walking tour of Riga’s hidden gems: the beautiful St. Gertrude’s Church is a five‑minute stroll away, and the riverbank is perfect for a sunset stroll. The only critique? The Wi‑Fi is a bit flaky during the busy summer season, so if you’re a digital nomad, keep your own hotspot handy. But for families or friends traveling together, the comfort, the personal touches, and the genuine vibe of the place make it a top pick for a Latvian stay.

Hotels near me in Riga offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Riga Cathedral, House of the Blackheads, and the famous Art Nouveau district.
