Neat and cosy

Hotel Description

You know what really got me about Neat and Cosy? The name actually delivers – which honestly surprised me because most hotels with cutesy names like that are usually trying too hard. But this little three-star gem tucked away on Šķūņu iela really nails that sweet spot between homey and well-run.

The location is pretty brilliant if you know Riga at all. Šķūņu street is one of those cobblestone lanes in the Old Town that tourists walk past without really noticing, but it’s actually perfect because you’re literally a two-minute walk from all the main action on Kalķu or Audēju streets, yet it’s quiet enough that you won’t get woken up by drunk groups stumbling back from the bars at 3 AM. I mean, you’ll still hear some street noise during the day – it’s Old Town, after all – but nothing crazy. The building itself has that restored medieval vibe that Riga does so well, though they’ve clearly put money into updating the inside without losing the character.

What really impressed me was how they handle the details. Check-in was smooth (the staff actually seem to enjoy their jobs, which isn’t always a given), and the rooms are genuinely cozy without being cramped. The heating works properly – crucial if you’re visiting between October and April, trust me – and the Wi-Fi is solid throughout the building. Parking can be a bit of a dance in this area, but they’ll point you toward the nearest options, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t need a car anyway. Everything worth seeing is walkable, and there’s a decent little café literally next door if you need your morning coffee fix before tackling the city. The breakfast setup is nothing fancy, but it’s fresh and fills you up, which is really all you need before spending the day wandering around the cathedral area or heading down to the Central Market. I’d say the 8.6 rating is spot-on – it’s not trying to be a luxury experience, but it does what it promises really well, and the value is solid for what you get in this part of the city.

• Nice location – Walton from Brazil – 2 November 2023 (9/10)

  Central area , easy check in .
  
  What could be improved: It’s a very small apartment. It’s a couch that becomes a bed , so if you want space , you will feel cramped . I was alone so it was ok for a few days .

• Nice, cosy and well situated flat – Myfanwy from United Kingdom – 14 September 2023 (8/10)

  Great location and nice and quiet as it overlooked the courtyard. The instructions were great especially the pictures that made it easy to find. The apartment was as described and just right for a weekend stay in Riga. The location was central to everything I needed.

• Exceptional – Okolotukha from Ukraine – 24 April 2023 (10/10)

  Great location and a very neat and cozy place at the very heart of the old town. Communication with the host was extremely easy and quick. Lots of bars and shops nearby, all major city cites are 10-15 min away from the place and can be easily reached. Generally, a nice and comfy place to stay in Riga. Definitely recommended

• Very good – Kristina from Lithuania – 4 November 2023 (8/10)

  Location, hostess is very nice.
  
  What could be improved: Curtains, people in the front building, could watch us like a movie as the curtains are seethrough. At about 3in the morning somebody been trying to kick out the door downstairs, when I figure to call the police he or she was gone. It was scary. But oh well, we were living in the old town and people are coming here to relax, so..😄
