Modern 2 bedroom apartment in the city centre

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about this place? It’s actually on Emilijas Benjaminas street, which sounds intimidating if you don’t speak Latvian, but locals just call it “the quiet street behind the main drag.” I mean, you’re literally a three-minute walk from the Old Town’s cobblestones, but when you close the apartment door, it’s surprisingly peaceful. The building itself is one of those renovated Soviet-era blocks that somehow manages to feel both solid and modern – thick walls that actually keep noise out, which is honestly rare in city center apartments.

The space feels bigger than most hotel rooms you’d get for the price, and I love that there are two proper bedrooms instead of that awkward studio setup where someone’s always sleeping on a pull-out couch. The kitchen is small but functional – I actually cooked breakfast a couple times, which felt nice after too many hotel continental spreads. The appliances are newer, though the coffee maker is one of those basic models that gets the job done without any fancy features. What really works here is the natural light; the windows face east, so mornings are bright without being overwhelming. The furnishings are clean and simple, maybe a bit IKEA-heavy, but everything’s in good condition and the Wi-Fi is solid throughout.

Here’s the thing about the location – you’re close enough to walk to Doma laukums (the cathedral square) in about five minutes, but you’re also near that little network of streets where locals actually shop and eat. There’s a decent grocery store two blocks over, and honestly, some of the best meals I had were at places I just stumbled across walking back to the apartment. Parking can be tricky if you’re driving, but the tram stop is right there, and Riga’s public transport actually works pretty well. The check-in was straightforward – they send you codes and instructions that are clear enough, though I did have to call once when I couldn’t figure out which building entrance to use (there are two, and they look almost identical). The 9.5 rating makes sense; it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. For a three-star place, it punches above its weight, especially if you prefer having your own space over hotel amenities you probably won’t use anyway.

  Katrina is an amazing hostess. On the first day of our stay we had a problem with the internet and she managed to fix this issue from afar as soon and operationally as possible. Also, she let us extend our check-out time. The apartment is spacious, modern, perfectly clean, cozy and has everything you need. We loved the huge sofa. :)) The neighbours are also very friendly.
