OldTown studio in Modern house

OldTown studio in Modern house Overview

OldTown studio in Modern house sits right on 25 Kungu iela, smack in the heart of Riga’s old town. The moment you step into the lobby, you get that old‑world feel mixed with a modern twist—like a cozy café that also doubles as a gallery. The staff greet you with a warm smile, and the check‑in process is surprisingly breezy, especially for a 3‑star spot. They’ll hand you a keycard and give you a quick rundown of the apartment layout, but honestly, the real tour starts when you open the door and see the space. The studio is surprisingly spacious for its size; the walls are painted in soft, neutral tones that make the room feel airy, and the natural light pours in from a large window overlooking a narrow street lined with old brick buildings. You can almost hear the distant chatter of locals and the occasional clink of a coffee cup from the café down the block.

The room itself is a practical, no‑frills kind of place, but it’s all about the details. The bed has a firm mattress that feels like a hug, and the linens—well, they’re not silk, but they’re clean and soft enough to make you want to stay in longer. The kitchenette is tiny but functional: a mini‑fridge, a single‑pot stove, and a coffee machine that actually makes a decent cup. If you’re a foodie, you’ll appreciate that a few minutes’ walk takes you to the famous Central Market, where you can grab fresh Latvian pastries and a strong espresso. You know what? The noise from the street is minimal thanks to the thick windows, so you can sleep through the city’s nighttime hum. The drawback is that the bathroom has a tiny shower that’s a bit cramped, but it does a good job of keeping the apartment clutter-free.

Parking can be a bit of a hassle if you’re driving in the old town—there are a few paid lots nearby, but the streets are narrow and filled with scooters. I’d suggest taking the bus or a taxi for the first day to get a feel for the area. The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring local gems: just a five‑minute walk to the Riga Cathedral, a quick stroll to the art installations on Lībiešu Street, and a 15‑minute hop to the seaside promenade where you can watch the sunset over the Baltic Sea. I’ve spent a few mornings at the café right on Kungu iela, sipping a latte while people-watching, and the aroma of freshly ground beans mingled with the crisp morning air—pure bliss. The staff are friendly and genuinely helpful, and they’ll point you toward the best spots for authentic Latvian cuisine—trust me, the fiskesplākstīši (fish cakes) at the market are a must‑try.

All in all, OldTown studio in Modern house is a solid choice for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Riga’s historic charm without breaking the bank. It’s a place that feels like a home away from home, with enough modern touches to keep you comfortable. The only thing that might make you wish for a bit more space is the studio layout, but the trade‑off is a gorgeous view of the old town’s cobblestones and a prime spot to step out and soak in the city’s vibe. If you’re planning to wander the streets of Riga, stay here, and you’ll find yourself coming back for the little everyday moments that make travel special.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Riga through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s rich architectural heritage and cultural attractions.

Reviews of OldTown studio in Modern house

• Kudos for the position – Elisa from Italy – 5 January 2025 (8/10)

  It was a nice spacious room with a comfortable bed. The apartment is in the old town at only 5 minutes walk from various monuments.
  
  What could be improved: more pots and pans would have been nicer. There was only one pan and old. Was also missing oil salt and basic necessities to cook. We were planning to cook for New Year’s Eve but ended up buying from outside. Aside from that nothing to complain

• Superb – Anna from Finland – 26 June 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Quite pricey for Riga, but can't complain otherwise

• Pleasant – Evalds from Latvia – 7 July 2025 (6/10)

  Good location
  
  What could be improved: It wasn't clean, sleeping pillows were bad, no hand towels

• Exceptional – Berelovich from Australia – 8 June 2025 (10/10)

  A very comfortable accommodation with a perfect location. Right in the Old Town but accessible to public transport and central market on the other side.
  
  What could be improved: I could have more crockery

• Номер соответствует цене и качеству. Все было чисто и аккуратно. Вернулись бы ещё раз. – Nevero from Lithuania – 2 June 2025 (8/10)

  Завтраки не предлогались. Расположение хорошее, в центре старого города и недалеко от ж.д. вокзала. Тихая улица.
  
  What could be improved: Желательно в ванной комнате хоть пару вешалок для халатов установить и гладильной доски не было.

• Good – Annick from France – 13 May 2025 (7/10)

  L'emplacement est parfait et très calme, le lit confortable.
  
  What could be improved: Le lavabo de la salle de bain ne s' écoule pas bien. La machine a laver fuit. Il manque une théière et une vraie machine à café.

• Superb – Mihael7 from Spain – 26 April 2025 (9/10)

  Está a pocos minutos de la estación de bus y del centro histórico. Es un bonito estudio con todo lo necesario.
  
  What could be improved: Nada que reprochar.

• Superb – Megane from France – 31 December 2024 (9/10)

  Petit appartement très bien situé géographiquement et propre
  
  What could be improved: Il manquais juste un micro-onde, et les lattes du lit côté droit ne tenais malheureusement plus

• Поскольку душевая находится в уровень с полом, при большом напоре душа, вода не успевает уходить в душевой трапик, не см – Aleksejs from Latvia – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

  В общем и целом остался доволен комнатой, снимал на 2 ночи. Белье было свежее, матрац удобный, спал как младенец. Удобное местоположение, апартаменты находятся в старой Риги. Кафе, бары, магазины, Рижские достопримечательности – в шаговой доступности. Интернет хороший. Была вся необходимая кухонная утварь. Бесконтактное заселение.
  
  What could be improved: Из минусов отмечу скрипучую входную дверь, плохо зафиксированную крышку унитаза, а так же наличники дверного проема санузла с внутренней стороны, которые из за влаги с низу вздулись и имеют не очень презентабельный вид. Все это НЕ критичные, но впечатление строится из мелочей!

• Very good – Maria from Spain – 14 June 2025 (8/10)

  Tiene una ubicación excepcional.
  
  What could be improved: Faltaba algún mueble para dejar cosas
