Classy apartment in good neighbourhood

Hotel Description

You know what? When I first walked up to 72 Slokas iela, I wasn’t expecting much – honestly, the building looks pretty standard from the outside, like most of the residential blocks in this part of Rīga. But then you get inside apartment 13, and it’s actually quite impressive. The whole place has this clean, modern feel without being sterile, if that makes sense. The owner clearly put thought into the details – good lighting, comfortable furniture that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel catalog, and a kitchen that’s actually functional (I mean, you can cook a real meal here, not just heat up instant noodles).

The location is genuinely solid, though I should mention it’s not right in Old Town where all the tourists cluster. Slokas iela is in one of those neighborhoods that locals appreciate – quiet residential streets, but you’re still only about 15 minutes by tram to get to the center. There’s a decent grocery store maybe three blocks away, and honestly, the whole area feels safe to walk around even in the evening. The building itself is well-maintained, and parking… well, it’s street parking, but it’s not impossible to find a spot like it can be in some parts of the city. One thing I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night – you’re away from the main traffic arteries, so you can actually sleep with the windows open in summer.

What really sets this place apart is the attention to practical stuff that most places overlook. The WiFi actually works properly (I was doing video calls without issues), there’s plenty of hot water, and the beds are comfortable – not too soft, not too firm. The check-in process was smooth too, though I’d recommend confirming arrival times in advance since it’s not a traditional hotel setup. The 9.2 rating honestly feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it delivers on what it promises. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like staying at a friend’s well-appointed apartment rather than a generic hotel room, and you don’t mind being a bit outside the tourist bubble, this is a solid choice. Just pack light if you’re staying on an upper floor – I don’t remember seeing an elevator, though the stairs weren’t too bad.

• Exceptional – Zivile from Lithuania – 31 July 2022 (10/10)

  Very comfortable apartment for longer stay. You can find everything you need for living in there.

• Exceptional – Karttunen from Finland – 5 July 2025 (10/10)

  Huoneisto oli upea. Sieltä löytyi ihan kaikki mitä voisit tarvita. Asunto oli super siisti ja hygienia tarvikkeita tarjolla shamppoosta, hoitoaineesta, kuorintavoiteista, pumpulipuikoista, vanulapuista jne lähtien. En ole ehkä koskaan yöpynyt näin täydellisesti varustellussa huoneistossa. Huoneet olivat tilavat ja hyvällä maulla sisustetut. Avaimen löysi helposti. Raitiovaunulinja aivan vieressä, kauppa ja apteekki samoin.

• Superb – Viktorija from Germany – 10 June 2023 (9/10)

  Die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet, mit allem was man braucht einen gemütlichen Aufenhalt zu haben. Die Küche mit allen notwendigen Sachen war gut ausgestattet, man konnte bequem Frühstücken. Das war eine der wenigen verfügbaren Wohnungen in Riga, die über zwei separaten Schalfzimmer verfügt hat, was sehr passen ist, wenn zwei befreundeten Paaren einen gemeinsamen Aufenhalt suchen, und zusätzlich ein Wohnzimmer und eine geräumige Küche mit dem Esstisch. Die Wohnung war schön in 70-er 80er Style ausrerichtet, alles gut gepflegt und sauber. Bequeme Betten, in einem der Zimmer war die Matratze etwas härter, aber es ist eine Geschmackssache. Das Badzimmer ist schön mit einer großen Badewanne ausgerichtet, weniger bequem war das Duschen.
  Alles in allem, eine schöne Wohnung, etwas abgelegen vom Old Town, bestimmt wäre viel bequemer Old Town mit der Straßenbahn zu erreichen, aber in Mai haben die Bauarbeiten an der Straßenbahn stattgefunden. Uber war aber preislich und zeitlich eine akzeptable Alternative.
  
  What could be improved: Das Treppenhaus 🙂 nicht sich erschrecken lassen. Wie Wohnung siht gut aus 😉

• Good – Arseny from Latvia – 1 November 2022 (7/10)

  Большая уютная квартира. Видно, что в ней жили и уехали недавно. Есть все, что нужно для проживания. Хозяйка мгновенно отзывается на все обращения. С парковкой нет проблем. Трамвайная остановка возле дома.
  
  What could be improved: Рядом проходят трамвайные пути и остановка прямо под окнами. Я впервые в жизни слышал обьявления внутри трамвая лежа в постели на третьем этаже )))) Вибрация от трамвая тоже ощутима. Подьезд убитый совсем (( Третий этаж без лифта.
