City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Hall view with parking

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve walked past this building on Grēcinieku Street probably a dozen times before I actually stayed here, and honestly, I never really noticed it from the outside – which, in hindsight, is kind of perfect because it means you’re not dealing with tourist crowds gawking at your temporary home. The City Inn Riga Apartment sits right in the thick of Old Town, and when they say “Town Hall view,” they mean it. From the window, you’re literally looking at the square where all the action happens, but here’s the thing – you’re high enough up that the noise doesn’t really bother you. Well, maybe a little on Friday nights when the pub crawls get going, but that’s Riga for you.

The apartment itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel room, which I mean in the best way possible. It’s got that lived-in comfort without being messy – you know, actual coffee cups instead of those tiny hotel ones, a proper fridge you can actually use, and enough space to spread out your stuff without everything ending up on the floor. The kitchen’s small but functional (I made pasta there twice), and the bathroom’s got decent water pressure, which honestly can be hit or miss in these old buildings. The parking situation is actually a godsend if you’re driving – and I say this as someone who once spent forty minutes circling the Old Town looking for a spot. They’ve got a dedicated space, which in this part of Riga is worth its weight in gold.

Location-wise, you’re about two minutes from Dome Square and maybe five from the Freedom Monument, but more importantly, you’re right by some of the better local spots that aren’t completely overrun with tour groups. There’s this little café called Miit that does incredible coffee just around the corner on Kalķu Street, and the Central Market is close enough that you can grab fresh stuff for breakfast without it being a whole expedition. The 7.8 rating makes sense to me – it’s not luxury, but it’s solid and real, and honestly, that’s what I want when I’m exploring a city. You’re not paying for marble lobbies and concierge services you’ll never use; you’re paying for a comfortable base in an unbeatable location with the bonus of actually being able to park your car. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews

• Very good – Marius from Finland – 9 June 2025 (8/10)

  Spacious apartment. Perfect location with parking place available.
  
  What could be improved: The towels were not clean. Normally it's not a big deal to wash them properly or just replace them regularly if they cannot be saved anymore by washing.

• Superb – Kristina from Estonia – 3 February 2025 (9/10)

  In the center of the town, old town. Private free parking and very clear instructions to get in. Host was very friendly.

• Good – Frederick from United States – 24 November 2024 (7/10)

  We were surprised as in most places coffee is provided but we were asked to pay for each capsule. No a big issue just a little bit of a worry

• Perfect location – Mehmet from Turkey – 14 May 2024 (8/10)

  The location is perfect!
  
  What could be improved: I couldn't get the key at first time. I needed to write again to owner. We had to wait little bit to go in to house. It was written that I can find the key in the key box but I couldn't.

• Very good – Kris_tine from United Kingdom – 31 March 2024 (8/10)

  The location was great, and it was quiet. Very spacious for all of us.
  
  What could be improved: Batteries for tv control stop working after an hour of being there. On the day before leaving, the light bulb in the living room started flickering. Therefore, we couldn't use the light.

• Felt insulted – Shiroonna from Cyprus – 12 October 2023 (7/10)

  The location is very central.
  The apartment was generally clean.
  The bed was comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The self check-in instructions are insane.
  Especially when arriving in the dark and not understanding that the door to the apartment block is not the same as where you find the key …
  The host was not there, but was impatient and rude on the phone, which is not acceptable. Don't rent out an apartment if you don't want guests.
  The back yard entry is unpleasant and dark.
  There is no lift.
  The inside of the freezer was dirty.
  The TV and cable instructions are a waste of time, they don't work.
  The shower cubicle drain is blocked.
  I can see from other reviews that the last two problems have been reported last year.
  If the host hadn't been so rude I wouldn't have mentioned any of these things because I don't travel to places to inspect fridges.
  And don't charge for the coffee capsules, how mean can you be?

• Very good – Ave from Estonia – 27 April 2023 (8/10)

• A great place to stay in Riga – Gintarė from Lithuania – 28 March 2023 (9/10)
