City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Towers with parking

City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Towers with parking Overview

City Inn Riga Apartment, Town Towers with parking sits on Kaļķu iela, right where the city’s old cobblestones start to give way to the newer, more modern vibe of the Pārdaugava district. I first spotted it while strolling past the Latvian History Museum, the street lined with little cafés and a handful of street performers. The building’s façade is a mix of traditional brick and a sleek glass curtain wall that looks almost like a mirror to the Riga skyline. You know what, the lobby is surprisingly cozy—soft jazz playing, a few comfy chairs, and a wall of photos that show the skyline at different times of day. The staff there were super friendly, handed me a key card with a quick “we’ll see you back in the room by 2 pm, but feel free to explore if you want,” which felt less like a check‑in and more like a warm welcome.

The apartment itself is a compact but surprisingly well‑thought‑out space. The living area is a bit on the snug side, but the kitchenette is functional—there’s a small stove, a fridge, and a decent set of dishes. I’d say the kitchen’s equipment is a bit limited for a couple who loves to cook, but if you’re just grabbing a quick breakfast or a sandwich for lunch, it’s more than enough. The bed is a queen with a mattress that’s firm yet soft, and the linens feel airy, which is a nice relief after a long day of walking. The bathroom has a shower that’s a little short, but the water pressure is solid, and the tiles are a crisp white that reflects the natural light from the window. You can hear the hum of the city outside, but the building’s insulation does a decent job of muffling the street noise—there’s always that faint buzz of traffic, but it’s not overwhelming.

Parking is a major plus in this part of town. The hotel offers a dedicated parking spot for guests, which is a lifesaver if you’re traveling with a rental car. I parked there the first night and didn’t have to chase a spot on the street. The nearest public transport hub is just a two‑minute walk away, so dropping off or picking up a car is easy. If you’re traveling on foot, you’ll find a bunch of cafés and a lovely park across the street—perfect for a mid‑afternoon coffee or a quick stroll to stretch your legs. The building is also close to the Old Town, so you can hop on a bus or walk in about fifteen minutes. The mornings are quieter, especially on weekdays, but come Sunday afternoons, the street near the hotel is full of tourists, and the cafés are buzzing with locals and visitors alike. The smell of freshly baked rye bread from a nearby bakery mingles with the scent of warm coffee, creating a comforting backdrop that makes you feel right at home.

Honestly, the only thing that could improve the stay is a bit more space in the kitchen area. I’d love a larger sink or a second small fridge for snacks, but other than that, the place feels like a genuine home base. The location is unbeatable if you want to explore the city’s central attractions and still have a quiet room to retreat to. The check‑in process was smooth, the staff were approachable, and the parking was convenient. If you’re planning a trip to Riga and want a place that feels like a local’s apartment with the perks of a hotel, this spot ticks all the boxes. The vibe is casual, the service is friendly, and the convenience of parking and proximity to the Old Town makes it a solid choice for anyone looking to soak up the city without the hassle of finding a spot on the street.

Best hotels in Riga range from charming boutique properties in the historic Old Town to elegant Art Nouveau hotels with stunning views of the Daugava River and medieval spires.
