Large Vacation Apartments in the Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what strikes you first about Large Vacation Apartments in the Old Town? It’s actually the building itself – this gorgeous historic structure on Arsenāla iela that somehow manages to feel both grand and welcoming at the same time. I mean, you’re literally staying in Riga’s medieval heart here, and honestly, the location is pretty incredible. You can walk to the Town Hall Square in about three minutes, and the House of the Blackheads is right there too. But here’s the thing – unlike some of those tourist-trap places closer to the main square, this spot doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in a museum gift shop.

The apartments themselves are surprisingly spacious (hence the “large” in the name, I guess), and they’ve done this smart thing where they’ve kept the old-world charm but actually made everything functional for modern travelers. The kitchens are properly equipped – not just those sad little kitchenettes with a broken coffee maker and two plates. I’m talking full-sized fridges, decent cookware, the works. Which is brilliant because, let’s face it, eating out for every meal in Old Town can get expensive fast, and sometimes you just want to grab some rye bread and cheese from the Central Market and have a quiet breakfast. The beds are comfortable too, though the floors can be a bit creaky – it’s a historic building, so you’re gonna hear your upstairs neighbors walking around occasionally. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know if you’re a super light sleeper.

What really sets this place apart, though, is how it sits in the neighborhood. You’re on Arsenāla, which is this lovely cobblestone street that tourists walk down but don’t really linger on – so you get that authentic Old Town vibe without the constant bustle. The Arsenal Museum of Art is literally next door, and there’s this great little courtyard area where you can actually find parking sometimes (miracle in Old Town, honestly). The 8.8 rating makes total sense when you consider that you’re getting apartment-style space and privacy at a price that won’t destroy your travel budget. Sure, it’s not fancy-hotel-with-a-spa luxurious, but it’s got character and comfort in spades. Plus, the staff actually seems to care about helping you figure out the neighborhood – they’ll tell you which tram to take to get to the beach districts, or where to find the best black balsam that isn’t marked up for tourists. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re staying in Riga, not just visiting it.
