Cat Garden Riga Airport Apartments

Cat Garden Riga Airport Apartments Overview

You know what surprised me most about Cat Garden Riga Airport Apartments? It’s actually on Kurzemes prospekts, which honestly feels more like staying in a proper Riga neighborhood than some sterile airport hotel. I mean, you’re literally ten minutes from the terminal, but there’s this whole residential vibe going on with local cafes and that big Maxima supermarket right down the street where you can grab proper Latvian rye bread at 6 AM if you’re dealing with jet lag.

The apartments themselves are way more thoughtful than I expected from a 3-star place. Each unit has this compact but well-designed kitchen setup – and I’m talking real appliances, not those tiny hotel mini-fridges that can barely hold a yogurt. The living spaces feel lived-in rather than hotel-sterile, with these interesting local art prints on the walls and furniture that doesn’t look like it came from the same catalog as every other European apartment hotel. What really got me was the attention to small details: proper blackout curtains (crucial when you’re adjusting time zones), USB charging ports actually placed where you’d use them, and honestly the best shower pressure I’ve had in the Baltics. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which matters when you’re trying to sort out travel plans or work remotely.

Here’s the thing about the location that booking sites don’t really capture – you’re positioned perfectly between the airport and central Riga, but you’re also in this slice of the city where actual Rigans live and work. There’s a tram stop basically at your doorstep that connects you to Old Town in about 20 minutes, and the walk to Daugavgrīva beach is totally doable if you’ve got a few hours to kill before a flight. The neighborhood gets pleasantly quiet after 9 PM, but during the day you’ll hear the normal sounds of city life – kids heading to school, the occasional tram, people actually living their lives. I stayed during both a busy summer week and a quieter November stretch, and the staff consistently seemed to know what they were doing, from smooth check-ins to helpful local recommendations that went beyond the usual tourist spots. The 9-point rating makes complete sense when you consider you’re getting apartment-style comfort with hotel-level service, all while being close enough to the airport that you’re not stressed about making early flights but far enough away that you don’t hear planes all night.
