Elegant Old Town Toffee Bliss Apartment, SELF Check-In, Steps from Bus Station

Elegant Old Town Toffee Bliss Apartment, SELF Check-In, Steps from Bus Station Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first saw that long name – you know how these Airbnb-style places can be with their keyword-stuffed titles. But walking up to 39 Kalēju iela, I actually got a little thrill. You’re literally in the heart of Riga’s Old Town here, and I mean the real deal – cobblestones under your feet, medieval buildings leaning in like they’re sharing secrets, the whole nine yards. The bus station thing isn’t just marketing fluff either; I could hear the gentle hum of buses from my window, but it’s more comforting than annoying, like having the city’s pulse right there with you.

The self check-in situation works better than you’d think. They send you the codes ahead of time, and honestly, after a long travel day, not having to coordinate with someone else’s schedule is pretty sweet. The apartment itself sits in this gorgeous old building that’s been converted really thoughtfully – they kept the character (those high ceilings, the original hardwood that creaks just right) but added modern touches that actually matter. The kitchen’s small but functional, and there’s something almost magical about making your morning coffee while looking out at medieval architecture. I spent way too much time just hanging out by the windows, watching locals navigate the narrow streets below.

What really got me was the location’s dual personality. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by all the tourist stuff – Doma laukums is basically around the corner, and you can smell the traditional Latvian food wafting from restaurants that have been there forever. But walk literally two minutes in any direction and you hit these quiet residential pockets where actual Rigans live their lives. The toffee reference in the name? Well, there’s this little confectionery shop tucked away on a side street nearby that locals seem to know about – I stumbled across it purely by accident and ended up going back three times. The apartment has that same kind of hidden gem quality; it’s not flashy or trying too hard, just solid and comfortable and perfectly placed. For what you pay, especially considering you’re staying in one of the most beautiful parts of the city, it’s honestly a steal. The 9-star rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not luxury, but it’s exactly what you want when you’re exploring a city like Riga.

Reviews of Elegant Old Town Toffee Bliss Apartment, SELF Check-In, Steps from Bus Station

• Perfekt location for the city break on Riga. – Dominik from Poland – 25 June 2025 (10/10)

  Spacious apartment. Great location. Close to public transport and the train station. Ideal for walks around the old town. Very good contact, hassle-free key collection. Kitchen equipped with the necessary accessories, fast wifi. Great stay.

• Exceptional – Davnrob from Australia – 2 June 2025 (10/10)

  Great location, right in Old Town. Close to supermarkets, restaurants, and bars. The apartment had heaps of room. The kitchen was roomy with a small breakfast table.
  We were given clear instructions on how to do the self check-in. We also received a list of places to visit while in Riga – which was really helpful.
  We stayed over the weekend and we could hear groups nearby laughing and partying but only faintly when we closed the windows. The noise abated at a reasonable time. It certainly didn't worry us.

• Spacious apartment near old town and bus station – Kanja from South Africa – 31 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very spacious apartment right at the edge of old town Riga and only a few minutes from the bus station. The host was quick to reply and made good suggestions for things to do in Riga. We really enjoyed our stay here.
  
  What could be improved: It was a little noisy at times due to the central location and it’s on the fourth floor which can be mildly inconvenient when travelling with heavy suitcases. Would still stay again!

• Great and comfortable stay – Amit from Estonia – 25 February 2025 (9/10)

  Clean, location was best
  
  What could be improved: Bathing soap / liquid was not sufficient, 4 pouches for 3 of us for 3 days was not enough, good to keep refillable bottle or more pouches, Thank you!
