New Designer Old Town studio, TV, Work desk with monitor, AC, Security

First Impressions

Walking up to New Designer Old Town studio, TV, Work desk with monitor, AC, Security on Kungu iela, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But once you step inside this four-star property, it becomes clear that someone put serious thought into creating a space that actually works for modern travelers. The studio feels fresh and purposeful — not trying too hard to be trendy, just genuinely well-designed.

The Space That Gets It Right

This isn’t your typical hotel room setup, and that’s exactly why it works. The studio layout gives you breathing space without feeling empty, and the work desk with its dedicated monitor shows they understand that people travel differently now. I mean, how many places actually give you a proper workspace instead of some tiny table shoved in a corner? The AC keeps things comfortable during Riga’s warmer months, and the security features let you relax without constantly checking your laptop bag.

Old Town Location

Here’s what I love about Kungu iela — you’re right in the heart of Riga’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, but on a street that doesn’t get the constant foot traffic of the main tourist drags. You can actually sleep at night, but you’re still a two-minute walk from the Town Hall Square and all those medieval streets everyone comes to see. The cobblestones outside your window remind you where you are, but inside you’ve got all the modern conveniences that make a stay actually comfortable.

Why It Actually Works

The TV setup is solid — not some ancient box with three channels, but something you can actually use to unwind after walking around the city all day. The studio design means you’re not cramped like you would be in a standard hotel room, and having a proper work area makes a difference if you need to catch up on emails or plan the next day’s adventures. Plus, the security aspect isn’t just about locks — it’s about feeling settled enough to really enjoy your time in the city.

The Real Appeal

What guests consistently mention is how the place just makes sense. You’re not fighting with the space or wishing it had something basic that got overlooked. The designer clearly spent time in similar accommodations and fixed all those little annoyances that pile up during a stay. It’s that rare combination of being right where you want to be in Riga while giving you a base that actually enhances your trip rather than just serving as a place to crash between sightseeing sessions.
