— The hotel
Midtown Apartment
First Impressions
I’ll be honest — when I first booked Midtown Apartment, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a three-star place in Riga. But stepping into this spot on Hospitāļu iela completely changed my perspective. It’s one of those places where the 9.6 rating actually makes sense once you experience it yourself.
The Space
What you’re getting here is essentially a full apartment rather than just a hotel room — and that makes all the difference. The space feels lived-in but well-maintained, with a proper kitchen setup that actually works (I made coffee there every morning without any issues). The layout is smart too, with enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped.
Location Insights
Here’s what I really appreciated about the location — you’re close enough to Old Town that it’s an easy walk, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with tourist crowds every time you step outside. Hospitāļu street itself is pretty quiet, which means you’ll actually sleep well at night. There’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving, though honestly, you probably won’t need a car much once you’re settled in.
Practical Details
The apartment comes with everything you’d expect — decent WiFi, hot water that actually stays hot, and appliances that work without needing an engineering degree to operate. I mean, it sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many places mess up these fundamentals. The building itself feels secure, and check-in was straightforward without any of those awkward key-handoff situations you sometimes get with apartment rentals.
Why Guests Love It
What really sets Midtown Apartment apart is that it gives you the independence of having your own place while still providing the reliability you want when traveling. You’re not sharing breakfast space with dozens of other guests or waiting for housekeeping to finish cleaning the hallway. It’s particularly great if you’re staying in Riga for more than just a quick weekend — having that kitchen means you can grab groceries from the local markets and actually experience the city like someone who lives there, not just passes through.
