Colorfull Experience in Hause built 1910 Fast free WiFi Free Parking

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first pulled up to this place on Čiekurkalna 2nd line – the name alone is quite the mouthful, and honestly, it reads more like someone’s entire Airbnb listing title than a hotel name. But here’s the thing about this quirky spot in Riga’s Torņakalns area: it actually delivers on that “colorful experience” promise, and the 1910 building has this authentic character that you just can’t fake.

The location is pretty clever if you know Riga at all. You’re tucked away in this quiet residential street that most tourists never stumble onto, but you’re actually just a short walk from the Daugava riverbank and maybe fifteen minutes on foot to Old Town if you don’t mind the stroll. The free parking situation is legit – and I mean actually free, not some “validation required” nonsense – which is honestly worth its weight in gold when you’re dealing with Riga’s city center parking headaches. The building itself has that early 20th-century charm with high ceilings and thick walls that keep things surprisingly quiet, though you can tell it’s been lovingly maintained rather than over-renovated into blandness.

What really struck me is how the owners have embraced the whole “colorful” concept without going overboard into theme park territory. The rooms have this eclectic mix of vintage pieces and modern touches – think bold wallpapers paired with contemporary furniture, and artwork that actually looks like someone chose it rather than ordered it from a hotel supply catalog. The WiFi really is fast (I tested it because, well, you have to these days), and there’s something refreshingly honest about a place that puts practical amenities right in its name. The staff genuinely seems to care about what they’re doing, which you can tell within five minutes of checking in. Sure, it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect marble bathrooms or a concierge who speaks six languages, but the 8.7 rating makes total sense when you factor in the personality and attention to detail. It’s the kind of spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere with a story, not just passing through another generic hotel room – and in a city like Riga that’s got so much character of its own, that actually matters quite a bit.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Topinka from Czech Republic – 14 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is in an amazing location, a bit further away from the centre, but with a train station just a 15 minute walk away, if you want to visit Sigulda or any other place in the Dauga national park, you can take a direct train from there. Plus there is a bus stop literally in front of the property. The lady running this booking is amazing as well, very kind and patient, English isn't exactly her strong suit, but communicating in texts works perfectly fine. The property itself is quite a small apartment, would not recommend for groups of 4, but for 2 – 3 persons it is perfect. We were amazed at how well the kitchen was equipped with all kinds of pans, pots and whatnot.
  
  What could be improved: The shower is very small, standing literally opposite of the toilet with only a curtain separating the 2 and the door to the toilet is essentially just a curtain, these are just tiny details though.

• Apartment of a small family house feeling. – Jakovļeva from Latvia – 9 September 2024 (10/10)

  Overall nice, quiet location, old house with it's charm. Apartment with a lovely interior remodeling so it has amenities it hadn't before – unique experience to get little outside comfort zone of spacious bathroom. Pull out sofa bed – but really comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Be aware that windows are right next to pavement, so you can hear noisy people passing by. City bus stops right next to house – runs few times. Both points are just a minor stuff, they don't ruin experience staying at this place.

• Exceptional – Aleksandrs from Latvia – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  Ekselenti! Smuka klusa vietiņa, blakus pietura, netālu ir veikali ar visu nepieciešamo. Dzīvoklis neliels bet ērts un aprikots ar visu nepieciešamo atpūtai. Ja būtu iespēja palikt uz nedēļu, noteikti izvēlētos šo vietu. 11 no 10!!

• Exceptional – Nauris from Latvia – 1 June 2025 (10/10)

  Ērts, bija pieejams viss un vēl vairāk kā gaidījam

• Exceptional – Marina from Latvia – 15 December 2024 (10/10)

• Exceptional – Inna from Estonia – 30 October 2024 (10/10)

  Очень уютные и милые апартаменты. Есть абсолютно все.

• Eine tolle Wohnung mit allem, was man braucht zu Hause! – Panagiotis from Germany – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  Die Lage ist super (die Bushaltestelle zum Stadtzentrum liegt direkt gegenüber), die Ausstattung toll!
  
  What could be improved: Das Badezimmer ist zu klein – aber das ist verständlich, denn die Wohnung hatte früher überhaupt kein Bad.

• Superb – Inga from Latvia – 13 April 2024 (9/10)

  Naktsmītnes atrašanās vieta. Dzīvoklī viss nepieciešamais. Pārdomāts līdz vismazākajam sīkumam.
  
  What could be improved: Nevis nepatika, bet kā mīnusiņš- šaurā duša un tualete, kas ir vienā telpiņā.

• Mīlīgs un ģimenisks dzīvoklīris , viesu uzņemsanai prasās lielāka uzmanību niansēm. – Mārcis from Latvia – 21 February 2025 (8/10)

  Privātums, sajūta,kā pie kāda ciemos, jā, un ekipējums, netrūka absolūti pilnīgi nekā.
  
  What could be improved: Tīrības jautājums, lūdzu pievērst uzmanību vairākām vietām un lietām… Ja jums interesē,mans tel.nr. saimniekiem ir. Padalīšos.

• Если убрать неприятный запах в душе, то хорошее место для остановки на несколько дней. – Vjaceslavs from Germany – 25 March 2025 (7/10)

  Тихое место, тихие соседи. Есть всё необходимое для временного проживания. Машину можно поставить в двух метрах от окна.
  
  What could be improved: Душ размером для ребёнка до 5 лет. В душе неприятный запах. Возможно надо прочистить слив.
