Ķīpsala apartments with free parking

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Ķīpsala apartments – honestly, the name sounds pretty basic and I’d never heard of this particular stretch of Zvejnieku iela before. But man, was I wrong. This place is actually tucked away on this quiet residential street that feels like a local secret, and the fact that you can park right there for free? In Riga? That’s basically winning the lottery.

The thing about Ķīpsala is that it’s this little island district that most tourists completely miss – they’re all rushing around Old Town while you’re over here living like an actual Rigan. I mean, you’re still only about ten minutes from the main action, but it feels worlds away from the tourist crowds. The apartments themselves are honestly impressive – they’ve got that clean, Nordic-influenced design that doesn’t try too hard but somehow gets everything right. The windows are huge (which you’ll appreciate during those short winter days), and the whole setup feels more like staying at a friend’s really nice place than some sterile hotel room. What really sold me was walking around the neighborhood in the evening – you’ve got the Daugava River right there, and there’s this walking path that locals use for their evening strolls. The whole area has this calm, residential vibe where you’ll hear kids playing in courtyards and smell dinner cooking from neighboring apartments.

Here’s what I really love about this place though – it’s got that 9.6 rating for a reason, and it’s not just because everything works (though it does). The owners clearly get what travelers actually need. The kitchen is properly equipped, not just for show, which matters when you want to grab some of those amazing local ingredients from the Central Market and actually cook something decent. And the internet is fast – I know, I know, everyone says that, but I was video calling family back home without any issues. The beds are comfortable in that European way where the duvets are actually warm, and you don’t wake up feeling like you wrestled with the sheets all night. Honestly, the only minor thing I’d mention is that the building entrance is a bit tricky to find the first time – it’s not super obvious from the street – but once you figure it out, you’ll feel like you’re in on some local secret. If you’re the type who wants to experience Riga like you actually live there, instead of just checking tourist boxes, this is your spot. Plus, did I mention the free parking? Because seriously, that alone is worth its weight in gold in this city.

Reviews

• So comfortable and nice! – Karen from Estonia – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  Everything was so great! The beds were comfy and there was a lot of closet space and mirrors, the bathroom was clean and spacious. There was coffee in the morning and when i hurt my ankle there was even a first- aid kit and a cold pack. Our stay was really comfortable and relaxing. Will definitely stay again!

  the location is perfect. very close to the local beach.

• Highly recommended and surely coming back. – Donatas from Lithuania – 5 April 2024 (10/10)

  We love Riga and love Kipsala. The apartment is close to the city center and at the same time you feel like in a countryside. Everything is clean, beds are comfortamble and the layout of the apartment is perfect for two families.

• Exceptional – Tarmo from Estonia – 7 March 2024 (10/10)

  Great location, quiet pleasant atmosphere, very good instructions for getting the keys. The apartment is cozy and has a very good selection of kitchenware. Soft beds. If the lights don't turn on immediately in the room, it's worth holding the switch down longer 🙂

• Comfortable apartemet in quiet neighbourhood – Aare from Estonia – 2 January 2024 (9/10)

  The apartement was comfortable and well equipped. We had even coffee capsules waiting for us and counted for the mornings we were there. Oil, salt and pepper are essential for the short-term visitors, they were there too. Quiet neighbourhood and good instructions for getting the keys and parking. Thank you! Paldies!

• Exceptional – Matej from Slovenia – 21 December 2023 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Light in bathroom doesn’t work

• Exceptional – Andreas from Germany – 12 December 2023 (10/10)

  The appartment is lovely. Beautifully and tastefully decorated, modern and well equipped with everything you could need for a stay in Riga. The area is quiet and we enjoyed staying not too far from the city center without all the hustle which would come with it. The free secure parking was great and the check-in / check-out process spotless.
  
  What could be improved: We don't know what to improve – everything was to our fullest satisfaction.

• An ideal place from which to explore Riga – Geoffrey from Australia – 3 September 2023 (10/10)

  The attention to detail was exemplary. The apartment is in a very interesting part of Riga and close to the old town by bus. The white goods are all modern and high end. For us the secure parking was a bonus. The apartment is close to the Zanis Lipke museum. A visit there is a must.
  
  What could be improved: No real faults

• Exceptional – Alisa from Spain – 20 March 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was very good. I enjoyed my stay.

• Exceptional – Paul from Latvia – 3 August 2022 (10/10)

  Quiet location on the island of Kipsala. The owner (Jantien) was in regular contact both before and during the stay, providing us with very thorough information and instructions which proved very helpful. The flat itself is brand new, clean and of a high quality, representing good value for money. It is convenient base from which to travel to Riga city centre and is only a 10-15 minute car journey away from the airport and 20 minutes from Jurmala beach. The Olimpia shopping centre is just a 3 minute car journey away.
