Modern City Stay – New Central Fully Equipped

Modern City Stay – New Central Fully Equipped Overview

You know what struck me first about Modern City Stay? It’s actually got personality, which honestly surprised me for what looks like a pretty standard apartment hotel from the outside. I mean, the name doesn’t exactly scream exciting, but once you’re inside – it’s one of those places that just works, you know?

The location on Krišjāņa Valdemāra is pretty sweet if you ask me. You’re basically walking distance to the old town (maybe 15 minutes if you’re not in a rush), but you’re not dealing with all the tourist chaos right outside your window. There’s this great little market just down the street where locals actually shop, and I loved grabbing coffee there in the mornings. The tram runs right along this street too, so getting around Rīga is dead simple – no need to figure out taxi apps or anything. Parking can be a bit tricky during the day, but honestly, that’s just city life here.

What really won me over was how they’ve set up these apartments. Everything’s genuinely modern and – here’s the kicker – actually functional. I’ve stayed in plenty of places that look sleek but then you can’t figure out how to work the shower or the wifi cuts out every ten minutes. Not here. The kitchenette has everything you’d actually need (decent knife, real coffee maker, not just some sad little pod machine), and the whole place feels like someone thought about how people really live, not just how to cram in the most beds possible. The bathroom’s got great water pressure too, which might sound boring but trust me, after walking around Rīga all day, you’ll appreciate it. One small thing though – the walls aren’t super thick, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe pack earplugs. It’s not terrible, but you’ll hear your neighbors if they’re having a late night.

The staff actually seems to care about what they’re doing, which is refreshing. Check-in was smooth, they had real recommendations (not just the obvious tourist stuff), and when I had a question about extending my stay, they sorted it out without making me feel like I was asking for a kidney. That 8.7 rating makes total sense to me – it’s not trying to be some fancy boutique place, but it delivers on what it promises and then some. If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable and practical in Rīga without paying resort prices, this is honestly a solid choice. Just don’t expect room service or a concierge in a fancy uniform – this is more like staying at a friend’s really nice apartment, which is exactly what I needed.

Reviews of Modern City Stay – New Central Fully Equipped

• Exceptional – Georgios from Greece – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

  It was a pleasant stay in this apartment. Everything we needed was available, it was clean and very close to the city center, restaurants and supermarkets.
  
  What could be improved: The only negative was that we reserved the apartment for 3 persons and we were provided with only 2 sets of towels and pillows

• Exceptional – Emily from Ireland – 2 February 2025 (10/10)

  Lovely, well equipped apartment. It had all the amenities you would need including a washing machine. The apartment was easy to find and easy to check into.
  
  What could be improved: There is no place to dry clothes if you use the washing machine and it is a 30 min + walking distance to a lot of the attractions of Riga.

• Great stay & nice host – Christopher from Czech Republic – 29 October 2024 (10/10)

  It is located not too far from the centre, 15-20 minutes walk, few minutes by public transpo. It is situated beside a main street which could be noisy at some time, but it is no big deal if you close the windows. The apartment seems like newly renovated, it is clean and bright. All you need is provided (except for body wash and shampoo during my stay, no big deal though) The owner is responsive which is nice. About 10 minutes away, you'll find 2 supermarket- Maxima / Rimi to buy what you want. Be mindful if you have big luggage, there is no lift, for light travellers it is no problem. Easy checkin/out process. I enjoyed my stay in the apartment. Thank you.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to complain really. Great stay.

• Great apartment in hip neighbourhood – Hans from Australia – 27 September 2024 (8/10)

  Great apartment full of light and sunshine. A little further from old centre than we thought, but once you explore the ‘hood’ you can find some great factory conversations into bars and restaurants. Quite young and hip. The apartment was clean and had a good layout.
  
  What could be improved: Somehow lacked the basics like water/wine glasses, a little more crockery, coffee plunger or tripulator??

• Best value for money in Riga – Valerio from Italy – 25 January 2025 (10/10)

  Bed was really comfortable, apartment was nice and warm, location was very good 15 minutes bus ride from my training centre and 10 minutes bus ride from the centre of Riga
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all

• Good – Irina from Estonia – 1 February 2025 (7/10)

  It was easy to reach the apartment from the railways station and almost everything inside has been like described. 38 minutes walking to the old town, few cafes around for breakfast and some shops. I stayed in January and the apartment was very warm.
  
  What could be improved: No information was provided that the apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator. I had only backpack, but for those with suitcases it's hard to claim. In the kitchen there was a food mole, a big one, so it's about time to revise supplies there. And very dusty ventilation grill in the bathroom with a dust coming down the wall. Windows of both the room and the kitchen face busy road with intensive traffic even during weekend, noise was coming through the window
