Imanta Hidden Gem self check in Overview

Imanta Hidden Gem self check in sits on Dumbrāja iela, right next to that little bakery that serves the best rye bread in Riga. From the moment I walked up the cobblestones, the place felt like a secret you’re supposed to keep – the kind of spot that locals use to escape the bustle of the city center. The building itself is a 3‑star flat‑packed charm with a wooden facade that looks almost like a postcard from the 1950s. You can park your car on the narrow street right behind the hotel; the parking spot is free, just be careful with the narrow lanes – a little shuffle and you’re in. I parked there in the late afternoon and could hear the city’s faint hum, but the building’s thick walls kept the noise at a polite whisper, which was perfect for a good night’s sleep.

The check‑in was a breeze. There’s no front desk to greet you, which can feel a bit impersonal at first, but the self‑check‑in system is surprisingly slick. Just scan the QR code on the welcome card, and the door unlocks with a soft click. I had to remember to press the “I’m ready” button on the app, and a friendly email popped up confirming my access. Inside, the lobby is small but cozy, with a vintage coffee machine that actually smells like fresh beans instead of synthetic coffee. The room itself is a clean, minimalist space with a linen duvet that feels like a cloud. The bathroom has a shower with a nice pressure – not too high, not too low – and the chrome fixtures give off a subtle play of light. The only real gripe was that the minibar was a bit on the pricey side, but hey, that’s what you pay for a hotel that’s so close to the city center and the old town.

What really makes this place memorable are the little moments you only notice if you’re a local. The balcony, though tiny, offers a view of the neighboring street where a street artist paints murals on a wall that’s only been there for a couple of years. On a rainy evening, you can hear the distant bells from the St. Peter’s Church echoing through the street – a sound that makes the whole city feel like a living, breathing thing. If you’re a foodie, you’ll love the corner café on the opposite side of the street that serves a hearty Latvian breakfast with homemade pancakes and smoked fish. I was also able to grab a quick coffee from the coffee cart on the block, which was surprisingly good. The only downside is that during summer festivals, the street can get a little noisy, but the hotel’s windows are heavy and block out most of that. All in all, it’s a place that feels like a hidden pocket of comfort in the middle of a city that’s always on the move, and I’d definitely recommend staying here if you want a peaceful break without losing that local vibe.

Reviews of Imanta Hidden Gem self check in

• A homely, pleasant place – Toomas from Estonia – 9 July 2025 (10/10)

  The large living room, big screen TV, comfortable sofas, convenient that there were two toilets, playground in the children's room, lots of toys, lots of books for every taste. The kitchen has all the necessary accessories. All equipment works. An excellent playground has been installed. The apartment is located in a quiet area, great for sleeping. The territory is closed, safe for children. Conveniently, a gas station, Lidl and a shopping center are nearby. The owner was very nice, answered all questions and helped when the lights went out.
