Cozy Studio Mansard Riga Old Town Aptartment, AC

Cozy Studio Mansard Riga Old Town Aptartment, AC Overview

Cozy Studio Mansard Riga Old Town Aptartment, AC sits tucked on 8 Kaļķu iela, just a stone’s throw from the cobbled lanes of the Old Town. I remember stepping out of the tiny front door, and the first thing you notice is the faint hum of the city—cars, the occasional tram, and the distant clatter of a market stall in the square. It’s early morning, the streets are still slick with last night’s drizzle, and the air smells like fresh rye bread from a bakery on Pludmātes iela. The check‑in was quick and friendly; a local staff member greeted me with a warm smile and handed over a key that unlocked not just the studio but a whole vibe of historical charm. The lobby is small but cosy, with a hand‑painted wooden panel that tells a story of the old mansard roof—hence the name, really.

The studio itself is a compact but surprisingly spacious space, thanks to the high‑ceiling, skylight that floods the room with natural light. The walls are a muted plaster that gives a sense of old Riga, but the furnishings are modern—think clean lines and a vibrant splash of color on the sofa that contrasts nicely with the neutral décor. The bed is a solid platform with a mattress that’s firm enough to keep you grounded, though the pillows are cloud‑soft, which makes for a good night’s sleep after a day of wandering. The kitchenette is tiny but functional: a single burner, a small fridge, a coffee machine that brews a surprisingly good cup, and a set of pots that double as storage for your travel souvenirs. I spent a morning sipping latte and watching the city wake up, the scent of coffee mingling with the faint scent of the river that runs just a block away.

Noise-wise, the studio is pretty quiet after 10 pm, though early in the morning you hear the distant rumble of traffic and the occasional bell from a nearby church. The building’s walls are decent at dampening city sounds, but if you’re sensitive, it might be worth bringing earplugs for your first night. Parking is a bit of a hassle; there isn’t on‑site parking, but a paid lot across from the building on Lielupe iela can accommodate a couple of cars if you’re driving. Otherwise, the city’s public transport is a breeze: a tram stop just a few minutes’ walk, and the historic bus routes that loop around the Old Town are within earshot.

The Wi‑Fi is reliable—great for checking travel tips or sending a quick photo to friends—although the router is an older model, so you might notice a slight lag when streaming. There’s a small laundry area in the building, and a tiny freezer in the studio for those who like to keep fresh snacks on hand. The only real critique? The TV is a bit outdated; it still works but the picture is slightly fuzzy. Still, it’s handy for catching a local news channel or a movie during a rainy afternoon.

I’d recommend staying here if you’re looking to immerse yourself in the heart of Riga, especially during the quieter winter months when the streets are dusted with snow and the city lights give

  Wonderful location. Nice and cozy appartment.

• A great apartment for a small group in central Riga – Karin from Estonia – 23 October 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment is a great size for a group. There is space for hanging out as well as very comfy beds.
  
  The host was super helpful and easy to interact with. The handover of the keys is very simple and contactless.
  
  The location is extremely central and on one of the main streets in Riga Old Town.
  
  What could be improved: If you're afraid of heights, then the last piece of stairs leading up to the apartment are pretty scary.

• The best place in the old town – Alexander from Spain – 6 July 2025 (9/10)

  Located in the heart of the old town, the apartment offers all necessary things for tourists, well air conditioned with comfortable beds, complementary water , tea bags and coffee. In spite of a weekend street noise, it's quite inside thanks to the soundproof windows. The owner replies all questions very quickly. Highly recommended for 3-4 people.
  
  What could be improved: The pillows are small and uncomfortable, no place for toiletries in the bathroom, the staircase to the mansard apartment is challenging for the people with movement problems and for big bags to be dragged up.

• Superb – Lud from Italy – 27 August 2024 (9/10)

  charming apartment
  
  What could be improved: very noisy when opening the windows onto the street

• Lovely stay in centrally located cosy apartment! – Gregory from Belgium – 29 August 2022 (9/10)

  The apartment offers all the comfort you need for a (weekend) stay in Riga. Its central location is perfect for exploring the city. It feels spacious and clean and offers all needed facilities. The host is very friendly and helpful and let us check in a bit earlier and check out later in accordance to our flights, which was very nice.
  
  What could be improved: It's not the most quiet place, but you know that if you choose a stay in this location so for us this was not a problem. We had the top floor apartment and because of the way it's built the kitchen is too low for tall people to really stand in, but this is only a minor thing.

• Good location and nice apartment, annoying locks. – Anonymous from Finland – 1 May 2023 (10/10)

  Good location and clean and nice apartment
  
  What could be improved: The door couldn’t open without the keys from the inside (fire hazard) and the locks were a bit difficult all togheter.
