Luxury apartment with a balcony and view in Riga Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what really got me about this place on Kungu iela? The moment I walked up to number 25, I could tell this wasn’t going to be your typical Old Town tourist trap. The building itself has that solid, elegant vibe that screams “locals actually live here” – which, honestly, is exactly what you want when you’re staying in Riga’s historic center.

The apartment itself is genuinely lovely, and I mean that in the most un-travel-brochure way possible. That balcony they mention? It’s not some tiny afterthought – you can actually sit out there with your morning coffee and watch the Old Town come alive. The view stretches over those gorgeous medieval rooftops, and if you crane your neck just right, you catch glimpses of the Daugava River. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets in the evenings (well, except for the occasional group of tourists wandering back from Dome Square, but that’s just part of the Old Town experience). The apartment feels spacious without being cavernous – there’s something about the way the light filters through those big windows that makes everything feel warm and lived-in rather than sterile.

Location-wise, you’re literally a three-minute walk from Dome Cathedral, but here’s the thing most people don’t realize – being on Kungu iela means you’re on one of the calmer streets. You get all the medieval charm without the constant foot traffic that makes some Old Town spots feel like you’re living in a theme park. The little grocery shop on the corner (I think it’s called Rimi Express?) becomes your best friend, and there’s this fantastic bakery about two blocks down that locals actually go to – not just tourists. I loved being able to walk to basically everything – the Freedom Monument, the Art Nouveau district, even down to the Central Market – but still feeling like I had a proper home base to retreat to. The building’s entrance is well-maintained, and honestly, the whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. No weird key pickup locations or confusing instructions, just simple and efficient. With that 9.4 rating, I get it – this place delivers on what it promises without any of the usual apartment rental headaches.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Gordon from Germany – 29 May 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is short walk from many of the sights. The apartment is sun drenched (which can of course be a disadvantage!) However we can highly reccomend the apartment.

• A great choice for a weekend in Riga – Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

  Great location on the edge of the Old Town. Really comfortable and clean. Having the balcony was a bonus. Great air con. Lots of nice little extras that you don’t always get in apartments, like coffee pods, iron and board, lint roller. It was easy to contact the host and she was friendly and helpful.

• Exceptional – Carla from Portugal – 19 August 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is new and comfortable. Very well decorate and the terrace is nice. Air conditioning was helpful and it has all basic facilities of an apartment. At our arrival we had cookies. mineral water, coffee and tea. The location is great, just in the old town, with many main visitors attractions just a few minutes walking. The central market, the central bus station and the central train station are 5 minutes walking. Everything was well. It is really a good option to stay in Riga and our option to stay if we came back to Riga.

• Exceptional – Alan from United States – 12 July 2024 (10/10)

  Great location in the Old Town; light-filled; efficient cooling system for hot summer days; everything works well; very clean; easy access.

• Great apartment close to everything and very clean and comfortable – Martin from United Kingdom – 10 June 2024 (10/10)

  The flat was super clean and tidy with everything you need for a great stay. The location is so close to restaurants and bistros that you don't need to walk more than a few hundred yards for any meal time. There's a nightclub down the road, but don't let that put you off, we could only hear it when we were on the balcony, or if we left the windows open but we kept them closed most nights and had the air-conditioning on for comfort.
  
  What could be improved: It's in the old town, which is great, but there's a lot of building renovations happening very close, so the view closer to the apartment isn't great but noise levels were low when we were there so we were happy enough.
