MORRISON apartment/15 guests/7bedrooms/Riga Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what’s funny about the Morrison apartment? I almost walked right past it the first time – it sits on Kaļķu iela so quietly you’d never guess there’s this massive 7-bedroom space tucked inside that can sleep 15 people. But that’s Old Town Riga for you, honestly. These medieval buildings just swallow up entire apartments behind their unassuming facades.

The location is actually ridiculous (in the best way). I mean, you’re literally a two-minute stumble from the Town Hall Square, and Dome Cathedral is close enough that you’ll hear the bells – which sounds romantic until you realize they start pretty early on Sunday mornings. The cobblestone streets can be a bit tricky if you’re dragging heavy luggage, but once you’re inside, it’s like you’ve found this perfect home base for exploring everything. The apartment itself feels way more spacious than you’d expect – I think it’s because they’ve really thought about how groups actually use space. You’ve got these separate sleeping areas that give everyone their own corner, but then these common areas where the whole crew can hang out without feeling cramped. The kitchen is properly equipped too, which matters when you’re feeding a crowd and don’t want to eat out for every single meal (Riga’s restaurant scene is great, but your wallet will thank you for cooking breakfast at least).

What really impressed me was how well they’ve balanced the old building character with modern comfort. The windows are these beautiful old-style ones that look out onto the historic street, but the heating actually works properly – trust me, you’ll appreciate that if you’re visiting between October and April. The bathrooms are updated enough that you won’t be dealing with quirky plumbing issues, which is more than I can say for some other Old Town accommodations I’ve stayed in. Parking is… well, it’s Old Town, so forget about parking right outside. But there’s a decent public garage about a five-minute walk away on Aspazijas bulvāris, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you probably won’t need your car much anyway. Everything worth seeing is walkable, and the tram stops are right there if you want to venture further out.

The place has this 9.9 rating that initially made me skeptical – like, come on, nobody’s perfect – but after staying there, I actually get it. It’s not trying to be some fancy hotel with marble everything, it’s just really good at being exactly what it promises: a comfortable, well-located home base for a group. The host was responsive without being pushy, check-in was smooth, and the little touches (decent Wi-Fi, enough towels, coffee supplies) were all sorted. If you’re bringing a big group to Riga and want to stay in the heart of things without paying hotel rates for multiple rooms, this is honestly one of the better options you’ll find.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Anni from Finland – 20 August 2024 (10/10)

  Perfect location in the heart of old town. Very spacious apartment, perfect for a large group – good common spaces but still lots of privacy in the bedrooms. Nice decoration and the apartment truly has everything you need for a city vacation.
  
  What could be improved: Air conditioning only available in one bedroom, so during the summer it can be quite warm in the apartment.
