Old Town Sunny Bee Apartment Prime Location

Old Town Sunny Bee Apartment Prime Location Overview

You know what caught me off guard about the Old Town Sunny Bee? The name honestly sounds a bit cheesy, but this place is actually tucked into one of Riga’s most authentic corners on Kalēju Street – and I mean right in the thick of things without being touristy-crazy. When I first walked up to number 37, I was expecting something generic, but the building has this weathered charm that screams “real Riga” rather than sanitized tourist accommodation.

Here’s the thing about staying here – you’re literally living like a local in the medieval heart of the city. The cobblestones outside aren’t just for show; they’re the actual stones people have been walking on for centuries, and yes, they’re a bit noisy when delivery trucks rumble by in the early morning (around 7 AM, if you’re a light sleeper). But honestly? That’s part of the charm. The apartment itself feels surprisingly spacious for Old Town standards, and whoever designed it actually thought about how real people live. I mean, there’s proper counter space in the kitchen – not just some token mini-fridge setup – and the windows let in actual sunlight, which is rarer than you’d think in these old buildings.

What really sold me was the location intelligence, if that makes sense. You’re about a three-minute walk from Doma laukums (Cathedral Square), but you’re not paying Cathedral Square prices or dealing with Cathedral Square tour groups outside your window at 8 AM. The Kalēju Street positioning means you can slip out for morning coffee at one of the local spots before the day-trippers arrive, or grab late-night food from places that actually stay open past tourist hours. There’s this little grocery store maybe 50 meters down the street that saved me multiple times – great for breakfast stuff or that bottle of wine you definitely want after walking around Riga’s gorgeous but exhausting Old Town all day. The 9.1 rating makes total sense when you consider that this isn’t trying to be a luxury hotel; it’s trying to be a really good place to actually stay, and it nails that completely. Sure, it’s a 3-star property, but the execution feels more thoughtful than a lot of 4-star places I’ve crashed at. The check-in was smooth, the space was clean without that overly sterile feeling, and – this might sound weird – but the apartment just feels like someone cares about it, not like it’s just another rental unit in a portfolio.

• Riga is amazing !!!! The host was really responsive, real helpful. – Sabrina from Italy – 22 April 2025 (10/10)

  Nice flat, we could have not asked for a better location: right in the center, close to the train/ bus station and also central market ( if you love markets you need to go there)

• Nice place in a perfect place – Lidt from Italy – 20 February 2025 (10/10)

  Let's start from the great position of the accomodation: that's absolutely perfect for all kind of visitors, being a few steps away from the most important tourist attractions, the bus stop of the line 22 coming directly from the airport, the railway station, restaurants, bars, etc. The apartment itself sports a well equipped kitchen, the living room separated from the bedroom, two flat TVs and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Easy and friendly check-in/check-out. Reasonable price. Recommended it.
  
  What could be improved: two little things; the shower needs a little maintenance and the curtains don't help too much in making dark.

  Dear Oksana
  
  I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for providing such a wonderful place to stay during my recent visit to Riga. Spending four nights at your apartment was truly an unforgettable experience.
  
  Your apartment exceeded all my expectations. It was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in every corner made it feel like a home away from home. Additionally, the location was perfect—close to all the key attractions yet peaceful enough for a relaxing retreat.
  
  Your hospitality and kindness made all the difference. I sincerely appreciate your quick responses to any questions I had and the thoughtful touches that made my stay even more special.
  
  I will wholeheartedly recommend your apartment to anyone visiting Riga, and I’m already looking forward to staying there again on my next trip.
  
  Thank you once again for making my visit to Riga so memorable!
  
  Warm regards,Edi

• Apartment is good for four persons, good value for money. – Zdravko from Slovenia – 29 July 2024 (10/10)

  Location is the best, everything is close, the old city Vecriga, train and coach station. Even Rimi Market is very close.

• Very good – Stephanie from United Kingdom – 31 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location was excellent apartment was clean and spacious.We enjoyed our stay.
  
  What could be improved: The bed was comfortable but by a wall and on a step which meant one of us had to wriggle to the end of the bed to get out when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night so not to wake the other person up and remember that there was a step which was frustrating.
  In the kitchen there was a large oven which we could not get to work and couldn't find instructions for. There was an additional mini oven on the counter but we were very limited in what we could cook in it.

• Very good – Lubomir from Croatia – 12 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location and enough space
  
  What could be improved: Comfort of couch. Noise level from outside / neighbors. Drainage of shower.
