Opera Hotel

Hotel Description

So I’ve stayed at Opera Hotel a few times now, and honestly? It’s become my go-to spot in Riga. The thing about being right on Raiņa bulvāris is that you’re literally in the thick of everything – I mean, you can walk to the Old Town in about eight minutes, and the Freedom Monument is basically your neighbor. But here’s what I actually love about the location: you’re close enough to all the action without getting the drunk tourist noise that hits some of the hotels deeper in Vecrīga.

The building itself has this interesting vibe – it’s not trying to be some glossy chain hotel, but it’s not shabby either. I’d call it confidently unpretentious, if that makes sense. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star place, nothing groundbreaking but definitely comfortable. The beds are actually good (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms are modern enough without being sterile. What I really appreciate is that the staff seems to know their stuff about the city – last time I was there, the front desk guy gave me directions to this little café on Blaumaņa that I never would’ve found otherwise.

You know what’s kind of nice? The breakfast situation is pretty decent, and they don’t rush you out if you’re lingering over coffee at 9:30. Plus, there’s decent parking nearby – not always a given in central Riga. The whole place feels like it’s run by people who actually care about hospitality rather than just checking boxes. I mean, it’s not perfect (the elevator is a bit slow, and some of the rooms facing the street can get a little noisy during evening rush hour), but honestly, for the price point and that location, it’s hard to complain. If you’re looking for a reliable base to explore Riga without breaking the bank or dealing with tourist-trap nonsense, Opera Hotel delivers exactly what it promises.

Reviews

• Overall good experience! I recommend it! – Nicos from Greece – 30 June 2025 (8/10)

  The room was great, spacious and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The guy at the reception during our check in was a bit ironic for no absolute reason. I was very nice to him! I believe the breakfast was too expensive (18 euros). There were other really nice options downtown Riga.

  What could be improved: The first hotel room was very hot as they were in the process of changing their heating to cooling system; however, the staff was able to change my room and the rest of my stay was great.

• Nice hotel and a great location for exploring Riga. – Howard from United Kingdom – 3 June 2025 (8/10)

  Nice and central but most of all the staff were superb. They let us change our room and attended to a couple more issues we had superbly.
  
  What could be improved: The wet room / bathroom needed a working fan and a squeegee to wipe the floor before next person had a shower.
