Modern & Spacious 80m2 Apartment in Riga Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? I was expecting just another cramped Old Town rental, but stepping into this 80-square-meter apartment on Peldu iela actually made me do a double-take. The ceilings are surprisingly high for a medieval building, and whoever designed this space really understood how to make those old stone walls work with modern fixtures. I mean, it’s not trying to be some Instagram-perfect minimalist box – it’s actually livable.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the absolute chaos of Doma laukums. Peldu iela is one of those cobblestone streets that feels properly Old Town-ish, but you’re literally a two-minute walk from all the main sights. The apartment sits right between the Daugava riverbank and the cathedral square, so you get that medieval atmosphere without being stuck in tourist central. Plus – and this matters if you’re staying more than a night – there’s a Rimi supermarket about five minutes away on foot, which saves you from those overpriced corner shops near the main square.

What really sold me on the place was the practical stuff that most rentals in this area completely mess up. The WiFi actually works (I was running video calls with no issues), the kitchen has proper counter space for cooking real meals, and honestly, the soundproofing is better than I expected. Old Town can get pretty rowdy, especially during summer weekends when the bachelor parties descend, but the apartment faces the courtyard side, so you’re not dealing with street noise until the early hours. The bathroom setup is smart too – separate shower that’s actually big enough for normal-sized humans, not one of those tiny European torture chambers. Check-in was smooth, though I’d recommend coordinating your arrival time since there’s no front desk situation here.

The rating of 8.7 feels about right – it’s not luxury hotel territory, but it’s exactly what you want from a well-thought-out city apartment. The space genuinely feels spacious, which is rare for European city centers, and you can tell someone put effort into making it functional for actual stays, not just pretty photos. If you’re planning to explore Riga properly and want a real base rather than a hotel room, this is the kind of place that makes you want to stay an extra day or two.

• Huge apartment at a perfect location with great amenities. – Fotios from Greece – 16 April 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was simply huge, modern, and great value for money. Amenities were great. Bedsheets were very warm and heating very efficient. The fact that there were 2 bathroom sinks helped our group a lot. The location could not have been better. I appreciated the host's video on how to find the apartment door etc.
  
  What could be improved: I was overall very satisfied, the only thing is possibly that the entrance and hallways were dirty. I am aware this is not the host's fault since there are other residents too, but an agreement with them about cleanliness would make this just perfect.

• Superb – Andrii from Estonia – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

  Location -perfect, fresh interior, clean sheets and towels. The apartment was clean and full of light. All good here.
  
  What could be improved: Water pressure was really poor or low, hot water came in a while,it took some time. Some issues with drain too. Heating control unit had some issues, maybe. It needs some attention or detailed instruction.
