G22 Apartments

G22 Apartments Overview

You know what? G22 Apartments caught me completely off guard – in the best way possible. I mean, when you’re walking down Grēcinieku iela (and honestly, good luck pronouncing that until you’ve been in Riga for a week), you might almost miss it. It’s tucked right into the heart of Vecrīga, the Old Town, but somehow manages to feel like a quiet retreat even though you’re literally surrounded by cobblestone streets and medieval buildings that have been standing since before your great-great-grandfather was born.

The thing about this place is that it actually gets what modern travelers need without trying to be all flashy about it. The apartments – and they really are proper apartments, not just hotel rooms with a mini-fridge shoved in the corner – have this clean, Scandinavian-ish vibe that works perfectly with the historic neighborhood. I stayed in a one-bedroom unit on the third floor, and the windows opened right onto the street where you can watch early morning locals heading to work with their coffee cups steaming in the Baltic air. The kitchen was small but functional (I made pasta twice, successfully), and the bathroom had one of those rain showers that actually works properly – you know how that’s always a gamble in Europe.

What really sold me on G22 was the location, though I hate using that word because every hotel claims great location. But seriously, you’re a three-minute walk from the Town Hall Square where tourists cluster around taking photos, yet when you step inside your apartment at night, it’s quiet enough to sleep with the windows open. The building itself has this cool industrial-meets-historic thing going on – exposed brick in some places, modern fixtures that don’t look like they’re trying too hard. Plus, and this is crucial if you’re planning to explore beyond the Old Town, the bus stops right outside that’ll take you to the Art Nouveau district (which honestly impressed me more than I expected it to). Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no hovering concierge, just clear instructions and a key code that worked every time. The staff speaks excellent English, which I probably took for granted until I ventured into some other Baltic establishments.

With a 9.1 rating, you’d expect something special, and it delivers without the pretense. It’s the kind of place where you can grab groceries from the little market around the corner on Kalķu iela, cook dinner while planning your next day’s wandering, and fall asleep listening to the occasional late-night laughter from people discovering Riga’s surprisingly vibrant nightlife. Three stars on paper, but honestly, it punches way above its weight.

Reviews of G22 Apartments

• Excellent stay and would happily recommend this room to others. – Maria from Belgium – 26 June 2025 (9/10)

  The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of the old city. The room was excellent. The large size was very comfortable, especially as we were cooking and eating in the room. We were very happy about the provision of salt, pepper and oil for cooking! It was great that there was a washing machine. The room was really excellent. It was very nicely decorated and the finish of the facilities was excellent. The room was very quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The outside of the building could have been a bit more inviting.

• Exceptional – Gintaute from Lithuania – 28 May 2025 (10/10)

  A wonderful place! Everything is very close by, and I highly recommend climbing the tower of the nearby St. Peter’s Church — the view of Riga from the top is breathtaking.
  
  The apartment itself is exceptionally spacious; most owners would have split such a space into two separate units! It was spotlessly clean, and the hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to messages.
  
  The apartment had everything we needed — from an iron to cooking oil. A funny story: I got pooped on by a seagull in the city, so I was especially grateful to have a washing machine and dryer in the apartment to clean and dry my clothes right away.
  
  If I ever come back to Riga, I wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else.
  
  What could be improved: The only small downside was the pillows — they were quite large and firm, which made them a bit uncomfortable for us. It would be great if there were a variety of pillow options available or the possibility to choose a softer one.

• A home from home. – Courtney from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  This was our second time visiting Riga. The apartment was quiet and incredibly secure, easy access. I received all information from host few days before stay, we even received a guide on how to access the property! Apartment was clean and close to everything we needed. Bus and other transport routes close by. Riga Old town is steps away from the apartment which was great for us as we love the old town so much. Host kept in touch throughout stay which was really lovely. Highly recommend.
  
  What could be improved: Pillows on the bed were a little too firm for myself but that’s just a personal preference, does not in anyway take away from how great our stay was.

• Exceptional – Jelena from Latvia – 30 April 2025 (10/10)

• Well presented. Was exactly as advertised. Will recommend highly to future travellers. – Addie from United Kingdom – 13 June 2025 (8/10)

  Well situated in the old town. Quiet, comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Crockery was limited. Otherwise all good.

• Nice big flat in Riga old town – Sophie from France – 16 May 2025 (8/10)

  Very quiet and big flat. Confortable and cozy. Easy check in. Easy communication.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunatly, the dishwasher was out of order, which we were not informed prior to our stay. The shower has leaks, so we had to clean the floor after each shower. We informed the staff about both but seems that there was no short terms solution. Hope it will be solved for next visitors.
