Old Riga Modern and Spacious 2 bedroom Apartment

Hotel Description

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the name “Old Riga Modern and Spacious 2 bedroom Apartment” – it sounds like someone threw every keyword into a booking site filter. But walking up to Vecpilsētas iela 3, you realize this place actually delivers on that weird promise of old-meets-new that Riga does so well. The building itself has that classic Baltic charm with thick stone walls and narrow staircases that make you feel like you’re living in a fairy tale, but step inside and – wow – someone clearly put real thought into making this work for actual humans, not just Instagram photos.

The apartment is genuinely spacious, which matters because let’s be honest, most European city stays have you bumping elbows with your travel buddy. Here you can actually spread out, and the two bedrooms mean you’re not dealing with someone’s snoring all night (you know what I mean). The modern touches feel intentional rather than slapped on – decent Wi-Fi that actually works, a kitchen where you can make proper coffee instead of that instant stuff, and thank god, good water pressure in the shower. I mean, after walking around Old Town all day on those cobblestones, you want a shower that doesn’t trickle. The windows are thick enough that you don’t get woken up by early morning deliveries, which is honestly a blessing since Vecpilsētas iela can get busy with tourists during peak season.

What really sold me on this place is the location – and I don’t mean that in the generic “convenient location” way every hotel claims. You’re literally in the heart of Old Town, but on a street that locals actually use for daily life. There’s a small grocery store about two minutes away where the owner speaks enough English to help but appreciates when you try your handful of Latvian words. The House of the Blackheads is practically around the corner, but you’re far enough from the main tourist drag that you can slip out in the morning and grab coffee without fighting through cruise ship crowds. Honestly, some evenings I’d just sit by the window with a beer from the corner shop and watch people navigate the cobblestones in their fancy shoes – it’s better entertainment than cable TV. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you’re there; it’s not luxury, but it’s exactly what you want from a city break – comfort, space, and that perfect balance of being in the thick of things while still feeling like you can actually relax.

• Excellent – Petra from Slovenia – 6 December 2024 (9/10)

  Location, cleanless, interior…

• Very good – Madeleine from United Kingdom – 13 November 2024 (8/10)

  Very grand and large apartment with high ceilings, wood floors and tastefully decorated. In a quiet street in the Old Town area, handy for the coach and train station too.
  
  What could be improved: We were there in November so it was very quiet, but I think in the summer the nearby bars could be busy and loud (although you might not be able to hear them from the apartment). I wasn't expecting a view but I was a little disappointed the kitchen and dining area only had a window onto a tiny courtyard, making it quite dark.

• Beautiful apartment – Alexandra from United Kingdom – 11 October 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is absolutely gorgeous and spacious! Comfy beds, tea and coffee available and the apartment was in a central location but still quiet at night
