Old Riga 1BR, Doma Square Views

Old Riga 1BR, Doma Square Views Overview

You know what struck me first about this place? The moment I walked into this one-bedroom on Škūņu iela, I actually gasped a little at those Doma Square views. I mean, you’re literally looking out at the cathedral and all that medieval architecture – it’s the kind of view that makes you stop mid-conversation and just stare. The apartment itself is pretty straightforward (this is a 3-star spot, so don’t expect luxury finishes), but honestly, the location does all the heavy lifting here.

The thing about staying right in Old Town is that you’re hearing the city wake up and wind down in real time. Early morning, you’ll catch the street sweepers doing their rounds, and by evening there’s this lovely hum of people wandering the cobblestones below. The apartment gets good light during the day – those big windows facing the square really open things up. I actually found myself working from the little table by the window more than I planned, just because the view made even answering emails feel less tedious. The kitchen’s compact but functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the Rimi down on Audēju iela and make breakfast instead of paying restaurant prices every morning.

What really sold me on this place, though, is how it puts you right in the middle of everything without feeling touristy. You’re a two-minute walk from Doma Cathedral, but you’re also close enough to duck into those little courtyards and side streets where locals actually hang out. The building itself is old (obviously – this is Riga’s medieval center), so you’ll hear some creaking and the occasional footstep from upstairs, but it’s not disruptive. Just… atmospheric, I guess? The 9.6 rating honestly makes sense – the host was responsive when I had questions about the heating system, and check-in was smooth even though I arrived later than planned. Parking’s a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving, but honestly, you won’t need a car once you’re here. Everything worth seeing is walkable, and the tram stops are close if you want to venture out to Miera iela or the Art Nouveau district. I’d definitely stay here again, especially in late spring when you can open those windows and really feel connected to the square below.

Reviews of Old Riga 1BR, Doma Square Views

• Great stop-over in Riga – Gilles from Canada – 24 June 2025 (9/10)

  Good size, clean and modern apartment. Very central and lively part of the Old Town.

• Exceptional – Матсовеле from Lithuania – 23 June 2025 (10/10)

  Everything was clean and comfortable. Good beautiful repair. The apartment has everything for living. If you came to feel the atmosphere of Riga, then this is a good place. Beautiful view from the window. Corresponded with the owner of the apartment, the owner was polite and accessible. The price for living in the old city I think is very good.
  
  What could be improved: There were three of us in this apartment. This apartment is designed for two. There is a good double bed in the bedroom. But there is a fold-out sofa in the living room and it is terrible. The springs were sticking out and it was impossible to sleep, we had to fold it, but it was still uncomfortable. There was also only one towel for the body, there was no towel for the face. You could also hear the neighbors in the bedroom.

• Exceptional – Viktorija from Latvia – 17 May 2025 (10/10)

  Dzīvoklis ļoti ērtā vietā, blakus ir gan kafejnīcas, gan veikals. Doma laukumā notika hokeja tiešraides, kas bija paskaļas, bet tas nemaz netraucēja. Ārā kafejnīcās skanēja mūzika, mums netraucēja, bija pat jautrāk – neliela svētku noskaņa.
  Dīvāngulta likās ne pārāk ērta, bet bērnam patika.
  Noskaņojumam bija arī sveces, ko varēja izmantot romantiskam vakaram.
  Guļamistabā trūka nakts lampiņu vai citas mazās gaismas, iztikām ar nelielu gaismu no āras.
  
  What could be improved: Viss bija labi, pilnīgi attaisnoja gaidīts – saņemts.

• Very good – Roma from Lithuania – 8 July 2025 (8/10)
