Dzirnavu Residence 2 bedroom Apartment

Dzirnavu Residence 2 bedroom Apartment Overview

Dzirnavu Residence 2 bedroom Apartment – I stumbled upon this gem while wandering around the narrow cobblestone lanes of Rīga’s Old Town. The building itself is a charming, slightly older block that blends a bit of Soviet-era brickwork with modern touches. The front door is a simple, solid wood panel that opens into a roomy foyer. Inside, the linens are surprisingly crisp, and the curtains are thick enough that you can’t hear the traffic blaring from outside – which is a relief because we were staying right by the main street where trams zip by all day.

When you step into the apartment, it feels like a home rather than a hotel. The living area is airy, with a low-profile sofa that’s actually comfortable for a long night of scrolling through travel blogs. The kitchenette is equipped with a compact fridge, a two-burner stove, and a coffee maker that brews a decent espresso – pretty handy if you’re not ready for breakfast at the hotel. I mean, the place doesn’t have a full-service kitchen, but you can whip up a quick omelet or a bowl of instant noodles without a hitch. The bathroom is small but spotless, and the shower has a solid pressure that’s surprisingly good for a 3-star spot.

Check‑in was a breeze – the front desk staff greeted us with a warm smile and a quick “Tomás, you’re back!” (he’s the same guy who always has the best recommendations for local eats). They handed us a keycard and a map of the building’s amenities, and then left us alone to explore. Parking is a bit of a secret: there’s a small, underground garage behind the building that’s free for guests, but you have to pull in through a narrow alley that’s not marked on most maps. It’s a bit of a hassle, but honestly, the convenience of being able to leave your car in Rīga without paying for a meter makes it worth the extra minutes.

The neighbourhood vibe is what really stole my heart. From the apartment’s windows, you can hear the distant clatter of a bakery on Ādoles Street – that scent of fresh rye and smoked fish always makes me crave a snack. Just a three‑minute walk brings you to the Central Market (Rīgas Centrālā tirgus), where locals buy everything from fresh fish to handmade pierogies. If you’re into coffee, there’s a tiny café on Lāčplēša Street that serves espresso with a side of paperwork – a local favorite for early‑morning workers. The area is bustling during the day, but by 10 p.m., you’ll find a few quiet cafés and a few bars that are still open. The apartment itself is quiet once the city’s noise settles down, so I was able to sleep through the last few hours of my trip.

All things considered, I’d say Dzirnavu Residence 2 bedroom Apartment is a solid choice for anyone looking to stay in the heart of Rīga without breaking the bank. It offers a cozy space, a decent kitchen setup, and a friendly front desk, plus the bonus of being right where the city’s buzz happens. Just keep in mind that parking is a bit of a hidden gem, and the noise level can spike when the tram line is at its busiest. But honestly, if you’re hoping to get a feel for the local vibe and want a comfortable base to return to after a day of exploring, this place will definitely hit the spot.

To book hotel in Riga during the famous Riga Opera Festival season, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts Art Nouveau enthusiasts and Baltic culture lovers from around the world.

Reviews of Dzirnavu Residence 2 bedroom Apartment

• Had a fantastic time in Riga, would recommend this apartment – Evy from United Kingdom – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  I loved the quirky decor, good location and spotlessly clean
  
  What could be improved: The only minor complaint would be to get better pillows but that’s not really a complaint as loved everything else

• Exceptional – Kristiina from Finland – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  The flat was carefully decorated, new and clean. We enjoyed our stay!
  
  What could be improved: We would have needed some information how to use the water boiler, there were so many options to choose. 🙂

• Charming and dreamlike stay – Ugnius from Lithuania – 26 January 2025 (10/10)

  This appartament is spectacular, real pleasure to stay within such elaborated and beautiful interior. It fits so well in the whole atmosphere of this Riga part, which compiles few architecture styles, from old wooden buildings, to Art Noveau homes, to present day modern incluses. Spaciuos apartment givas a lot of good dreamlike emotions, charm, calmness and comfort. There is also a fireplace, though we did not know if it was possible to use.
  
  What could be improved: We knew about a need to leave payment for city tax too late, so coul not make it. This info should have been included into messages earlier.

• Exceptional – Linda from Canada – 5 November 2024 (10/10)

  Very pleasant and cozy stay. Self check in which is very easy and convenient. Apartment is impeccable. Super clean and beautifully decorated yet minimalist. There's literally everything you might need for a shorter or longer stay. Well equipped kitchen, washing machine, huge walk in closet, comfortable bed (2 bedrooms!) Etc. The building is also so beautiful. I loved the neighborhood and walked everywhere from there. Irina is very kind and accommodating. She was pretty easy to reach for the most part and she let me check out later when I wasn't feelig well on my last day. The only small "negative" is the upstairs neighbors (most likely a child) who make so much noise (starting from morning ) making it very difficult to have a peaceful sleep.
  
  What could be improved: Upstairs neighbors

• A great place to stay for a short break in the beautiful city of Riga. – Sarah from United Kingdom – 14 September 2024 (9/10)

  Irina was a great host from start to finish, all information given well ahead of time and very responsive throughout our stay with any questions that we had. The apartment on the first floor was very comfortable, spacious, beautifully decorated and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well. The location is outside the Old Town but a 15 minute walk into the centre with supermarkets and bakeries in the neighbouring street closest to the apartment end of Dzirnavu and plenty of eating/drinking options along Dzirnavu itself.
  
  What could be improved: We liked everything about the apartment, only one small thing that could be added would be table lamps beside the beds.
