MX Aparthotel – Your #1 stays in Riga

First Impressions

MX Aparthotel – Your #1 stays in Riga sits on Tallinas Street in a residential area that feels refreshingly removed from the tourist crowds. The building itself is modern and unpretentious — you know, the kind of place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than flashy lobbies. I actually appreciated this approach because it meant my money was going toward the room itself rather than marble statues I’d never look at twice.

Location & Neighborhood

This part of Riga is honestly perfect if you want to experience how locals actually live. Tallinas Street runs through Torņakalns district, which means you’re close enough to walk to Old Town (about 15 minutes) but far enough away that you won’t hear drunk tourists at 2 AM. There’s a Rimi supermarket just a few blocks away, and I found a decent bakery that opens ridiculously early — handy when you want fresh bread without paying hotel prices.

The Apartment Experience

What struck me about this three-star place is how they’ve really nailed the aparthotel concept. My apartment had a proper kitchenette with everything I needed — full-size fridge, decent stovetop, even wine glasses (which, let’s be honest, matters more than it should). The living area doesn’t feel cramped like some aparthotels where they squeeze furniture into every corner. The Wi-Fi actually works throughout the space, which I can’t say about half the places I’ve stayed in Eastern Europe.

Practical Comforts

The bed was surprisingly comfortable for a three-star property — I mean, I’ve had worse nights’ sleep at places costing twice as much. They’ve got this smart setup where housekeeping comes every few days unless you request it daily, which keeps costs down while still maintaining cleanliness. The bathroom has good water pressure and gets properly hot, though it takes a minute or two to warm up. There’s parking available on-site, which is actually a big deal in Riga where street parking can be a nightmare.

Why Guests Love It

Look, MX Aparthotel isn’t trying to be something it’s not — it’s a solid, well-run place that gives you independence and comfort without breaking the bank. The staff speaks English well and actually seems to care about helping rather than just going through the motions. For the price point, you’re getting way more space and functionality than a traditional hotel room would offer. It’s the kind of place I’d book again without hesitation, especially for stays longer than a couple nights when having your own kitchen starts to really matter.
