Old Riga Modern Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? Walking into what feels like a genuinely modern apartment right in the heart of Old Riga’s most happening square. I mean, Republikas Laukums is literally where everything’s going on – the Freedom Monument is right there, you’ve got the canal running alongside, and honestly, it’s one of those spots where locals actually hang out too, not just tourists with their cameras out. The building itself has this interesting thing going on where it’s clearly been updated but still fits with the neighborhood’s vibe, if that makes sense.

The apartment itself is really well done – I’m talking about the kind of setup where you can actually picture living there for a while, not just crashing for a few nights. The modern touches feel intentional rather than just thrown together, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, which honestly surprised me given that you’re basically in the center of everything. The windows are solid, and even when there’s some activity in the square below, it doesn’t really penetrate. Check-in was smooth too – none of that awkward waiting around or hunting for keys situation you sometimes get with apartment rentals.

Here’s the thing about the location that most people don’t realize until they’re actually there: you’re about a three-minute walk from Vecrīga (the actual Old Town), but you’re positioned perfectly to avoid the worst of the tourist crowds while still being able to duck into all those winding cobblestone streets whenever you want. Plus – and this is key if you’re planning to explore beyond the old city – you’re right by the canal, which means easy walking access to the Art Nouveau district and the Central Market. I spent a good chunk of one morning just wandering along the water before the city really woke up, and it’s honestly one of those simple pleasures that makes a trip memorable. The rating of 9.1 makes total sense once you’ve stayed there; it’s that sweet spot where everything works like it should, the location delivers on its promise, and you’re not dealing with any of those little frustrations that can mess up a good travel experience. If you’re looking for something that feels more like staying in Riga rather than just visiting it, this is probably your spot.

• We had a good stay in this very central apartment. – Noel from United Kingdom – 6 September 2023 (8/10)

  All excellent in the apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Whilst the apartment is very light with lots of windows, there is no sun as north facing and there is an overhanging building. The outlook is on to a car park and there is only a very oblique view of the river.

• Very good – Emilia from Finland – 24 October 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: There was just one roll of toilet paper for 3 people for the whole stay of a weekend…

• Riga und Umgebung sind eine Reise wert. – Dresdner_01 from Germany – 21 August 2024 (9/10)

  Die Vermieterin war für uns gut erreichbar und hat sich sofort um alle Belange gekümmert. Die Lage ist hervorragend. Die Altstadt ist zu Fuß schnell erreichbar
  
  What could be improved: Geschirrausstattung könnte besser sein. Zusätzliche Töpfe, Schüsseln, Teekanne, Zitronenpresse haben wir vermisst.
