Eksporta3-2 Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Eksporta3-2, I’ll be honest — it’s not the kind of place that screams “hotel” from the outside. Located right on Eksporta iela in Riga‘s Old Town, this feels more like staying in someone’s well-appointed city apartment than a traditional hotel. The building itself has that classic Latvian architecture you see throughout the historic center, and you know what? That’s actually part of its charm.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about this spot — you’re literally in the heart of everything. I mean, step outside and you’re surrounded by cobblestone streets, medieval churches, and some of the best cafes in Riga. The Daugava River is just a short walk away, and honestly, you can reach most of the major sights on foot. What really surprised me was how quiet it stays at night despite being so central. Plus, they’ve got private parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend if you’re driving in Riga — trust me, finding a spot in the Old Town can be a nightmare.

The Accommodation

The room I stayed in felt more like a studio apartment than a hotel room, which I actually loved. It’s got this minimalist, modern vibe that works really well with the historic building’s character. The space is thoughtfully designed — not huge, but everything has its place. The bed was comfortable enough, and I appreciated the little touches like good lighting for reading and decent storage space. It’s clean, functional, and has everything you need without any unnecessary frills.

Practical Details

Look, this isn’t a five-star experience, and it doesn’t pretend to be. What you get is solid, no-nonsense accommodation in an unbeatable location. The staff is helpful when you need them, but they’re not hovering around constantly — which I actually prefer. WiFi worked perfectly throughout my stay, and the check-in process was straightforward. The building can feel a bit quiet during the day, but that’s because most guests are out exploring the city, which makes sense given where you are.

Why Guests Love It

Couples seem to really get what this place is about — it’s got that intimate, local feel that makes you feel like you’re actually living in Riga rather than just visiting. The location score speaks for itself, and after staying here, I totally understand why. You’re not paying for fancy amenities or a grand lobby; you’re paying for the privilege of waking up in one of Europe’s most beautiful historic centers. For the price point and the location, it’s honestly hard to beat. If you want to experience Riga like a local and don’t need all the hotel bells and whistles, this is your spot.

Reviews of Eksporta3-2

  • Passable – Samuele from Italy – 2 June 2025 (5/10)

    Posizione

    What could be improved: Pulizia e oggetti per la cucina

  • Bad – Neftali from Mexico – 19 May 2025 (1/10)

    What could be improved: The entrance was a disaster. You enter a filthy, ransacked basement. We had no hand or body soap, no shampoo. The drains in the shower and bathroom sink were clogged. There was no natural light. A sofa bed with a very uncomfortable 5-cm mattress. Two horrifying and uncomfortable pillows. The sliding shower door, which barely fits, falls out. It was very far from public transportation and there were no places to buy anything. I slept one night because there was no other option and looked for another place to stay in Riga. I never went back, nor would I. I don't recommend it at all.

  • Хорошая чистая квартира, дюудоьное местоположение и отзывчивый хозяин . – Danila from Latvia – 17 May 2025 (10/10)

    Местоположение

    What could be improved: Мало места

  • Ideāls risinājums par zemu cenu! – Dolmonts from Latvia – 6 May 2025 (10/10)

    Patika viss plānojums kopā,ņemot vērā ka studio tipa dzīvoklis ir iekārtots pagraba telpās bet izdarīts tas ir ar gaumi, mājīgumu un siltumu.

    What could be improved: Neko nevaru pateikt jo tādas lietas kas nepatīk es neatklāju!

  • Pleasant – Svitlana from Ukraine – 20 April 2025 (6/10)

    Comfortable location.

    What could be improved: Shower is broken, one towel for two people, only the residue of a toilet paper, bad sheets with some stains.

  • Exceptional – Vejas from Lithuania – 26 March 2025 (10/10)

    Очень удобное расположение, приятная и уютная обстановка, присутствуют все удобства.

  • Good – Sergejs from Latvia – 13 March 2025 (7/10)

    Расположение. Площадь аппартаметов. Телевизор. Ремонт

    What could be improved: Сломанная дешевая кровать.

  • Very good – Kalvis from Latvia – 7 March 2025 (8/10)

    Naktsmītne puspagrabā, kas neļāva iekļūt ielas trokšņiem. Viss nepieciešamais ēdiena pagatavošanai, platekrāna mūsdienīgs televizors.

    What could be improved: Nebija neatīkamu brīžu.

  • Good value for the price! Recommended. – Fajardo from Finland – 1 March 2025 (8/10)

    The studio is in a really nice location, well connected to the tram. It has nice lighting, a big TV to watch movies on, wifi, hot water, etc.

    The owner is very nice and responsive.

    What could be improved: It could've been cleaner (the floor, the bedsheets) and bigger towels would be nice, instead of hand towels.

  • Very good – Dmitrijs from Latvia – 18 February 2025 (8/10)

    Par tādu cenu lieliski

    What could be improved: Bija problēmas ar gultu, bet informeju īpašnieku, un domāju ka viss būs uzlabots
