Ludviķa studio apartment

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Ludviķa studio apartment” on my booking confirmation, I had zero idea how to pronounce it (still working on that, actually). But this little place on Ludviķa iela really surprised me in the best way possible. You know what struck me first? The neighborhood feels properly Rīgan – not touristy at all, just regular folks going about their day, which I mean, that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to get a real feel for the city.

The studio itself is compact but thoughtfully set up, and honestly, whoever designed this space actually gets how people live. There’s enough room to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped, and the kitchen area – well, it’s small but functional if you’re the type who likes grabbing groceries at the local market instead of eating out every meal. Speaking of which, there’s this decent little grocery store maybe a five-minute walk away, and I discovered (purely by accident) that the bakery section opens really early if you’re an early riser like me. The building’s pretty quiet too – I was worried about street noise since it’s right in the city, but the windows do their job well enough.

What really sold me on this place was the location without being obvious about it. You’re not smack in the middle of the tourist chaos around Old Town, but you can actually walk there in about fifteen minutes if you don’t mind a pleasant stroll. Or honestly, the tram system here is surprisingly good – there’s a stop practically around the corner that’ll get you wherever you need to go. The owner was pretty straightforward during check-in, no fuss, just handed over the keys and gave me the WiFi password (which actually works well, by the way). I stayed here during what I guess was shoulder season – early October – and the heating worked perfectly, which you definitely appreciate when those Baltic winds start picking up. The whole experience just felt… normal, in a good way. Like you’re staying in someone’s well-kept apartment rather than some sterile hotel room. For the price point and that 8.5 rating, I totally get why people keep coming back to this spot.

Reviews

• Very good – Handriani from Estonia – 7 August 2024 (8/10)

  It was a great place for a short stay! A small space, but clean and tidy. It takes around 15 minutes from Riga Airport and 10 minutes to the old town by car 😄
  
  What could be improved: Would be great if bathroom mat was provided

• Was a very comfortable and pleasant stay – Alise from Latvia – 29 July 2024 (9/10)

  Very clean and neat. Had everything that we could’ve needed.
  
  What could be improved: The towels were very soft and nice but they were the material that leaves a bit of fluff on you. However, not a big problem

• Exceptional – Paravyan from Latvia – 14 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment had everything one might need, was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend to consider this place.

• Exceptional – Dartix from Latvia – 5 July 2024 (10/10)

  Even in the late evening, the information on how to get the keys etc. I received very fast. Very nice owner of the apartment and the communication was easy. The apartment is in a good location, quiet, nice, clean and cozy.

• Very good – Anonymous from Estonia – 10 July 2025 (8/10)

  I really enjoyed my stay – everything worked perfectly and the location was great.
  
  What could be improved: The room didn’t have a view, and the cobblestone street in front of the building wasn’t my favorite. However, this wasn’t a big issue and didn’t affect our overall experience. The place was clean and well-located, which made my stay enjoyable.

• Exceptional – Svetlana from Lithuania – 27 December 2024 (10/10)

  Уютная квартира-студия,с печкой-камином который предаёт особый шарм. Рекомендую!
  
  What could be improved: Нет

• Exceptional – Liudmila from Lithuania – 20 October 2024 (10/10)

  Очень аккуратная, чистая квартира, удобная кровать. Теплая комната. На кухне есть все необходимое. Удобное бесконтактное получение ключей. С хозяйкой всегда можно связаться по телефону.
  
  What could be improved: Все понравилось в квартире.

• Due giorni molto belli a Riga – Mirko from Italy – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  L’appartamento è in un quartiere residenziale molto vicino al centro. Noi ci siamo mossi con i mezzi lasciando la macchina parcheggiata. La fermata del bus è a pochissimi minuti e sui mezzi ci vogliono 10min.
  L’appartamento ha sostanzialmente tutto (dalla cucina alla lavatrice)e la proprietaria è stata molto disponibile e molto chiara nelle info.
  
  What could be improved: Non ho trovato nulla che non mi fosse piaciuto.

• Вроде и неплохо, но есть нюансы – Stanislav from Israel – 13 January 2025 (7/10)

  Понятные инструкции по заезду получили от хозяйки накануне. Дом старый и деревянный, снаружи и в общем коридоре выглядит страшновато, но в квартире все в порядке. Места достаточно для двоих. Чисто. Интернет отличный. До трамвая примерно метров 500. Парковка во дворе либо на улице вдоль дороги, так же бесплатна. С водой все в порядке.
  
  What could be improved: Как выяснилось, основной способ отопления в квартире это дровяная печь-буржуйка (вполне современная, надо заметить), которая требует определенных навыков для розжига и поддержания горения, пришлось научиться ))) Имеется и электрообогреватель, но хозяйка не рекомендовала им пользоваться, т.к. проводка в доме старая и есть вероятность остаться без электроэнергии. Звукоизоляция плохая, музыку от соседей за стеной слышали прекрасно.

• Pleasant – Tanja from Finland – 21 July 2024 (6/10)

  Willkommensgruss und kostenlose Duschartikel
  sauber
  es gab kuschlige/flauschige Handtuecher dort
  
  What could be improved: sehr schwer zu beurteilen -schwanke zwischen 5 und 6 ! ! ! wenn man den Hinterhof betritt, denkt man nein, das kann nicht wahr sein richtiger vergammelter Hof und die Haustuere und bevor man das Apartment betritt eine richtige Bruchbude. Apartment trotz Ventilator zu warm. Man muss hochsteigen um das Fenster öffnen zu können da nur oberes Fenster möglich ist zu öffnen. Keine Kaffeemaschine vorhanden. Code und Info ueber Schluessel, Gebäude leider nur ueber booking erhalten – schwierig, wenn man keinen Internetzugang hat. Haustuere quietscht sehr laut. Bett ist sehr niedrig. Es hat irgendwie nach Rauch gerochen der vermuntlich von den Rauchern der Bewohner kam die im Hinterhof rauchten. Induktionsfeld beim kochen sehr laut.
