Luxury studio with a park view

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you – when I first saw “luxury studio” in the listing, I rolled my eyes a bit. You know how these places oversell themselves. But honestly? This little spot on Krišjāņa Barona surprised me in the best way. The location is what hooked me initially (I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Freedom Monument), but it’s the thoughtful touches inside that made me actually enjoy my stay.

The park view they mention isn’t just marketing fluff – you’re looking right out at Esplanāde Park, which is genuinely lovely, especially in the morning when locals are walking their dogs and the light hits those old trees just right. The studio itself is compact but cleverly designed; whoever set this up actually thought about how people live in small spaces. There’s proper counter space in the kitchenette, decent water pressure in the shower, and – this might sound weird – but the bed is positioned so you can see the park without craning your neck. Small thing, but it matters when you’re trying to ease into your day with coffee.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays despite being right in the heart of Rīga. Krišjāņa Barona can get busy during the day (there’s always some construction happening somewhere in the Old Town area), but the windows are solid and evenings are peaceful. The building itself has that pre-war charm – thick walls, high ceilings, the kind of place that feels substantial. Check-in was refreshingly simple too; none of that awkward hunting around for key boxes or dealing with complicated codes. The host actually knows the neighborhood and gave me a heads up about street cleaning days for parking, which saved me a headache later.

I’d say this works best if you want to feel like you’re living in Rīga rather than just visiting. You’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters – the Old Town is maybe ten minutes on foot, there’s a decent grocery store practically next door, and you’ve got easy access to both the quiet residential feel of the area and the bustle of the city center. It’s not going to wow you with fancy amenities or concierge service, but that 9.1 rating makes sense when you consider it does exactly what it promises without any annoying surprises.

Reviews

• Unusual studio with all amenities – Liene from United Kingdom – 22 June 2025 (9/10)

  Very cool apartment with very smart use of space. Despite the small size it has all the amenities and very stylish interior. The self check in through the app worked fine.

• Exceptional – Katarzyna from Poland – 26 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely fantastic place. Great location in the city center. Studio is small but nicely furnished with everything a guest can need. On top of that the host left maps and mini guide of Riga, a very nice surprise. Easy check in and check out. Good communication with the host. Highly recommended.

• I enjoyed my stay. – Laine from Latvia – 1 May 2025 (10/10)

  There was anything you could need. Great location and comfy apartment. At night you can hear everything happening outside, but it wasn't bothering me. Excellent price for apartment like this.

• “Smart appartment in best location for an affordable price – Viktorija from Latvia – 7 December 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely new furniture, smart kitchen and appliances, modern and comfortable shower room with heated floor, and what’s the most important, this studio had everything- teas, coffee, salt/ pepper, cleaning stuff, tableware( dishes, cups, cutlery etc, can cook yourself if you wish), shower gel, shampoo, that was very thoughtful of the host. Even an advent candle on the table:)
  
  The studio is small, however, it wasn’t a problem at all. Convertable bed was of a decent size, quite comfortable. Large TV screen. I totally enjoyed my stay, superb location. At first I thought there would be some issues with the app locker( I don’t quite trust this), but everything was quite easy and smooth, I kinda enjoyed it too. So far this is the best stay in Riga so far, for a decent and affordable price.
  
  What could be improved: I can’t find minuses. I am quite positive

• Highly recommend – Olga from Latvia – 28 November 2024 (10/10)

  So clean,everything you need for stay

• A cost and comfy studio in a great location – Larissa from United Kingdom – 3 November 2024 (9/10)

  It’s a lovely modern studio very conveniently located and very clean. It is quite small, but everything is well thought through and well arranged. With double glazed windows the traffic outside is just a soft murmur, quite soothing really.
  
  What could be improved: The pillows aren’t very comfy. On Saturday night neighbours on the other side of the wall played music with a heavy beat until well past midnight and I had to use ear plugs.
