ELVIS apartment/11 beds/6 bedrooms/Riga Old Town

First Impressions

Walking up to the third floor of this historic building on Kaļķu iela, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from ELVIS apartment/11 beds/6 bedrooms/Riga Old Town. The name’s a bit quirky, I’ll give you that — but once you step inside, you realize this four-star property is something special. The space is genuinely massive, with six separate bedrooms that can sleep up to eleven people, making it perfect for large families or groups of friends traveling together. What struck me immediately was how they’ve managed to blend modern comfort with the character of Riga’s medieval architecture.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s incredible about this place? You’re literally in the beating heart of Riga’s Old Town, and I mean literally — step outside and you’re surrounded by cobblestone streets and medieval buildings that date back centuries. Kaļķu Street puts you within a two-minute walk of the Town Hall Square, and you can reach Riga Cathedral in about the same time. I spent my mornings grabbing coffee from the little café around the corner, then wandering through the narrow streets before the tour groups arrived. The location score of 9.9 isn’t just marketing speak — it’s actually that good.

The Space

The apartment itself is thoughtfully laid out, with each of the six bedrooms offering something different. Some have views over the Old Town’s rooftops, while others look into the quiet courtyard — honestly, I preferred the courtyard rooms for sleeping since they’re quieter at night. The common areas are where this place really shines though. There’s a spacious living room where our group could actually gather without feeling cramped, and the kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cook (though with so many great restaurants nearby, we barely used it). The bathrooms are modern and well-maintained, which isn’t always a given in these historic buildings.

Practical Considerations

Being on the third floor means climbing stairs — there’s no elevator, so keep that in mind if you’re traveling with heavy luggage or have mobility concerns. The building itself is old, so you’ll hear some creaking and settling sounds, but that’s part of the charm of staying in a place with this much history. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout the apartment, and the heating was reliable during my October visit. One thing I really appreciated was how responsive the property management was — when we had a minor issue with one of the bedroom doors, someone came to fix it within an hour.

Why Guests Love It

What makes ELVIS apartment special isn’t just the prime location or the generous space — it’s how it lets you experience Riga like a local rather than a tourist. You’re staying in a real neighborhood where people actually live and work, not some sterile hotel district. Couples particularly seem to love this place, and I can see why — even with all those bedrooms, there are plenty of cozy corners for romantic moments. The 9.7 rating reflects what you’ll discover: this is one of those rare finds that delivers exactly what it promises, in a location that simply can’t be beat.
