D3 Apartment in Riga centre

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to D3 Apartment on Dagdas iela, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages. This little gem sits right in the heart of Riga’s center, and I mean actually in the center – not that “convenient to downtown” nonsense where you’re still schlepping 20 minutes to get anywhere good.

The thing about Dagdas street is that it’s perfectly positioned between the tourist chaos and real Riga life. You’re literally a 5-minute walk from the Old Town’s cobblestone streets and those gorgeous Art Nouveau buildings everyone raves about, but you’re also close enough to where locals actually hang out. There’s this fantastic little bakery around the corner that opens at 6 AM (trust me, the smell of fresh bread will wake you up better than any alarm), and honestly, some of the best coffee I had in Latvia was from a tiny café just two blocks down. The apartment itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel – which can be hit or miss depending on what you’re after, but the attention to detail here is actually impressive. Everything works (and I mean everything – the shower pressure was surprisingly good, the WiFi never dropped, even the little kitchen appliances seemed thought through).

What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, considering you’re smack in the center of things. I mean, yeah, you’ll hear some street noise during the day, but come evening it settles down nicely. The building has that solid European construction that just absorbs sound better than those modern glass boxes. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that awkward waiting around in a lobby that’s trying too hard to impress. The staff actually knew the neighborhood well enough to give me directions to places that weren’t just the obvious tourist traps. They pointed me toward this incredible little restaurant on a side street that I never would have found otherwise. Parking can be a bit tricky if you’re driving – it’s street parking mostly, and you know how that goes in any European city center – but honestly, once you’re here, you won’t need a car for much. The tram stops are close by if you want to venture further out, and most of what you’ll want to see is walkable. For the price point and that perfect rating, D3 really delivers on being exactly what it promises to be: a comfortable, well-located base for exploring Riga without any pretense or unnecessary frills.

  The apartment is very clean, after renovation. Homely atmosphere. The place is quiet, convenient location. Nearby is a bus stop, shops, and market. I happily walked around the whole city and the old Riga. If I came again, I would stay in this apartment. I highly recommend it.
  
  What could be improved: I was pleasantly surprised throughout the entire time by the attitude, attention, and desire to help with anything at any moment.
  
  I am very grateful to Andrey for a pleasant acquaintance and interesting stories about the history of Riga.
