Dzirnavu Apartment

Dzirnavu Apartment Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Dzirnavu Apartment,” I wasn’t expecting much. The name sounds pretty basic, and let’s face it, apartment hotels can be hit or miss. But this place on Dzirnavu iela actually surprised me in the best way possible. You know how sometimes you walk into a place and it just feels right? That’s exactly what happened here.

The location is what really sold me on this spot. Dzirnavu street runs right through the heart of Riga, and staying at number 113A puts you smack in the middle of everything without the tourist trap chaos. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Old Town cobblestones, but you’re also close enough to the newer parts of the city that you can grab decent coffee and not pay Old Town prices for everything. The building itself is one of those classic Riga apartment blocks – nothing fancy from the outside, but once you’re up on the 5th floor, the views over the city rooftops are actually pretty great. Fair warning though, there’s no elevator mentioned, so if you’re hauling heavy luggage, well… consider it your daily workout.

What really impressed me was how they’ve managed to nail that sweet spot between hotel service and apartment freedom. The place feels genuinely lived-in rather than sterile – you know what I mean? The kitchen actually has proper equipment (not those sad hotel kitchenettes with one bent fork), and honestly, after a few days of heavy Latvian food, being able to make a simple breakfast was a lifesaver. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet at night, which surprised me given how central it is, but during the day there’s enough street life to make you feel connected to the city. I spent quite a bit of time just watching people go about their business from the window – there’s something oddly relaxing about it. The 9.5 rating makes total sense once you’re there; it’s not trying to be some luxury experience, but everything just works the way it should. And in a city where accommodation can be either overpriced tourist hotels or sketchy budget places, finding something that hits this middle ground – comfortable, authentic, and reasonably priced – feels like discovering a secret that locals have been keeping to themselves.

  Perfect. Great value for money, clean and spacious. Looks exactly as advertised. Very central. Communication with the host went smoothly. Smart telly too (which is always a bonus that hotels for example never seem to have)

• Nice peaceful stay within 15 min walk to old town of Riga – Neil from United Kingdom – 11 June 2025 (9/10)

  I arrived early and host accommodated that as best as possible. Nice and quiet location, not too far (15 minute walk) from old town centre. Super clean and super comfy bed and pillow.
  
  What could be improved: Probably my fault for not reading, and wasn't a problem anyway as such, but it's 5th floor for anyone with lots of bags (or is unfit)

  Easy check-in/check-out.
  Great communication and the host is very helpful.
  Location is very good.
  The accommodation is very clean and well equipped.
  The bed is so, so comfortable.
  We were there on Saturday/Sunday, so we parked right on the street next to the building without having to pay for parking. As evenings and Sundays parking is free. So that was convinient.
