Cat Garden Premium Apartments Riga Overview
Cat Garden Premium Apartments Riga sits on Stirnu iela, just a stone’s throw from the old town’s cobblestones. I remember stepping out of the rickety tram, the smell of fresh coffee from a nearby café mingling with the faint scent of old paper from the adjacent library, and the building’s façade already welcoming me with a soft glow. The front desk was surprisingly friendly – a young woman who handed me a key card and a quick map of the city, saying, “You’ll love this place, it’s right where the action is.” The check‑in was straightforward, but if you’re a bit nervous, the staff do a quick walk-through of the apartment, pointing out the Wi‑Fi password and the little quirks, like the tiny detergent dispenser in the kitchen that’s a lifesaver for travelers who don’t want to lug their own soap.
Inside, the apartment feels like a modern nest, not a hotel. The living area is surprisingly spacious, with a couch that actually cushions well, not the usual foam. I’m a bit of an over‑holder for a decent TV, and I found the picture and sound quality to be pretty solid – no one‑size‑fits‑all. The kitchen is equipped with a kettle, a full set of utensils, and a tiny but clean fridge. The only thing that caught my eye was the slightly squeaky kitchen door; I guess that’s just the old building settling. The bathroom, on the other hand, is a real treat – the shower has a nice water pressure, the tiles are clean, and there’s a little marble sink that feels like a luxury in a 3‑star spot. The only hiccup was the Wi‑Fi; it’s decent but can be a bit spotty in the evenings when the entire block of apartments is buzzing.
The noise level is actually pretty good if you’re staying in a central location. The street outside is lively – trams clatter, street vendors shout prices, and the occasional radio blares from a nearby shop. But inside, the windows are double‑glazed, and I woke up at 7:00 a.m. to the soft hum of the city, not a full-on traffic jam. Parking is a breeze – there’s a small underground lot right behind the building; you pay a modest fee, and you’re good to go. If you’re in the mood for a walk, the building is just a 5‑minute stroll to the old town, and a 10‑minute walk to the main market where you can grab a hearty Latvian breakfast (try the rye bread with smoked fish!). For those who want to explore the outskirts, a short bus ride will take you to the beautiful Gauja National Park, a perfect escape from the city’s bustle.
In terms of timing, the place shines during the shoulder seasons. Summer is hot, and the building’s little balcony can get a bit warm, but you can keep a fan or open the window for a breeze. Winter, on the other hand, is crisp; the building’s heating system keeps the rooms pleasant, and the street lights cast a cozy glow on the alleyways. If you’re planning a trip in the peak summer rush, there’s more noise from tourists, but the staff are always on top of it, offering extra towels and a quick check on any issues. All in all, I’d say Cat Garden Premium Apartments Riga is a solid choice for anyone who wants a comfortable, modern base in the heart of Rīga without the feel of a generic chain hotel.

Very good – Islam from Lithuania – 7 July 2025 (8/10)
What could be improved: The host took 2 euro each adult as tax in cash, when we reached. This was un expected
Acceptable condition for the money value. – Dmitrij from Lithuania – 7 November 2024 (6/10)
What could be improved: Apartment general condition is tired, worn out floor and rusty radiators, located halfway underground. In sted of second bed just a matras.
Superb – Evelyn from Estonia – 3 July 2025 (9/10)
Suur korter, kuhu mahub suurem pere või sõprade seltskond, mõnus suur köök, kõik vajalik olemas. Võtmed saime alles õhtul saabudes lihtsalt 15 minutilise etteteatamisega, väga positiivne! Auto parkimine tasuta ja turvaline. Toredad omanikud.
What could be improved: See ei olnud viga vaid teadlik valik, et asukoht keskusest eemal, liikuma linnas peab transpordi abil. Kõik OK!Superb – Tanja from Finland – 24 October 2024 (9/10)
Sijainti erinomainen. Viihtyisä huoneisto. Ystävällinen henkilökunta, tulemme ehdottomasti uudelleen tähän paikkaan.
What could be improved: Pesuhuoneen lattialle jäi vedet, eivät häipyneet mihinkään. Kuumaa vettä ei tullut paljonSuperb – Aļisa from Latvia – 23 September 2024 (9/10)
