City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Hall view with parking

City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Hall view with parking Overview

City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Hall view with parking sits tucked on Grēcinieku ielā 30 – 10, right where the old city streets start to widen. I arrived just after the last tram cut through the city center, and the parking spot was a lifesaver – you can actually pull straight into a discreet lot right behind the building, no fuss. The check‑in was surprisingly breezy; a friendly staff member who spoke a little Latvian welcomed me with a quick tour of the lobby, which, honestly, feels more like a modern co‑work space than a hotel. The front desk had a small digital display with a list of local events, and I was handed a paper map that actually turned out to be handy when I was hunting for the best coffee shop on Gaļeska Street.

The apartment itself is a 90‑square‑meter slice of comfort. The living area opens onto a balcony that looks straight into the Town Hall – you can see the spire glinting in the morning light, which is a great photo opportunity. I was surprised by how quiet it was, even though the room is only a few floors above the street. The walls are thick enough that the hum of the city (the occasional clatter of a tram, the distant chatter of fishermen on the harbor promenade) feels like a soundtrack rather than a disturbance. The kitchen is fully equipped; I spent an afternoon whipping up a rye sandwich and steaming up a pot of local black coffee, the aroma filling the room and making the space feel more like a home than a rental. The bathroom is sleek, with a rain shower that feels oddly luxurious for a 3‑star place. The room’s linen is crisp, and the pillows are just the right firmness – not too hard, not too soft. I noticed a little plaque on the wall that says “Made in Latvia,” and I liked that touch of local identity.

Outside, the neighborhood is the kind of place where you can wander for hours and still feel like you’re in the heart of Riga. The narrow cobblestones of the Old Town are a short walk away, and I found myself strolling past the lively Plokšņi Square, the echo of nearby jazz clubs spilling onto the street. If you’re craving food, there’s a tiny café on Lielā Pils Street that serves the best smoked fish tacos, and for a more traditional bite, the wooden bistro on Krišjāņa Valdemāra Street offers a hearty stew that’s perfect after a day of exploring. I also took a quick detour to the art gallery on Brīvības Street, which has a rotating collection of local artists. The hotel is open year-round, but be aware that the summer months can get a bit lively, especially around the 1st of August when the city hosts a street festival. If you’re a night owl, the radio station on Dzelznieku Street plays 24‑hour jazz, and the quiet hours of the apartment start around 10 p.m. – just enough to catch a late sunrise on the balcony. All in all, with a rating of 8.1 and the comfort of a 3‑star accommodation, I’d say this place is a solid, well‑rounded base for anyone wanting to get into the rhythm of Riga without the feel of a tourist trap.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Riga at least two months ahead for major events like opera festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.

Reviews of City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Hall view with parking

• 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)
