NEW I Opera studio I Air Conditioning I Top location

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this little Opera studio place? The address – Marijas iela 4-72 – puts you right in the thick of things without the tourist trap chaos. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute walk from the Opera House (hence the name, obviously), but it’s tucked away on a side street that actually feels residential. The building itself is one of those classic Riga structures that’s been smartly converted – you can tell someone put real thought into making these apartments work for travelers.

The studio itself is honestly pretty perfect for what it is. The air conditioning was a lifesaver when I stayed there in July – and trust me, Riga summers can be surprisingly muggy. What I really appreciated was how they managed to fit everything you need into the space without it feeling cramped or weird. The layout actually makes sense, which isn’t always the case with these converted places. The kitchen area is small but functional (I made coffee every morning and managed a simple breakfast), and the bathroom is modern enough that you don’t feel like you’re roughing it. The bed was comfortable too – sometimes with studio apartments you get stuck with a pull-out situation, but this was a proper setup.

Location-wise, this is where the place really shines. You’re close enough to walk to Old Town in about ten minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the late-night party crowds stumbling around. There’s a decent grocery store just around the corner on Elizabetes iela, and honestly, being near the Opera means you’re in one of the nicer parts of central Riga. The tram connections are solid if you want to explore further out – the stop is maybe two blocks away. Parking can be tricky in this area (it’s mostly street parking with those pay machines), but if you’re planning to walk everywhere anyway, it’s not really an issue. The neighborhood gets pretty quiet after about 10 PM, which I actually loved – you get that local vibe without feeling isolated. One small thing – the building entrance is a bit understated, so don’t expect some grand hotel lobby experience. But honestly, that’s part of the charm. It feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed apartment than a generic hotel room.

  I had amazing stay at this apartment. Really recommend to everybody! It is very cozy, clean, bright, honestly i felt like at home. Location is very good, close to all main city center areas. You will even find prepared handbook with all possible necessary information, what you might need, while visiting Riga. Host is amazing, she is always ready to answer any questions and give information in advance, even if you don’t expect that. Also very nice gesture from host – in fridge found some cold drinks, which after trip were very refreshing. Highly recommended place to stay!!

  高級ホテル？と思える程すてきな部屋でした
  インテリアもセンスがあり、サービス的な部分もここまでして貰えるとは驚きでした
  駅やバスステーション、スーパーも近くにあり便利
  出入りはすべて暗証番号なので鍵を管理する必要もありません
  中庭に面しておりとても静かです
  
  What could be improved: 良くないという事ではありませんが、荷物を広げたり一時的な収納をするために
  小さなチェストがあればなお便利かと思います
  私は窓の前の空間を利用して荷物を広げたので特に支障はありませんでした

  Останавливалась в этих апартаментах в Риге и осталась в полном восторге! Очень уютное, чистое и светлое жильё — всё продумано до мелочей, чтобы чувствовать себя как дома. Удобная кровать, современная техника, стильный интерьер и приятная атмосфера. Расположение отличное — рядом магазины, кафе и общественный транспорт, в самом центре города.
  Хозяева очень доброжелательные и внимательные, быстро отвечают на сообщения.
  Обязательно вернусь в следующий раз.
