Orange apartments 52

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard “Orange apartments 52,” I was expecting something pretty basic, maybe even a little sketchy. But this place on Čaka iela actually surprised me in the best way possible. You know how sometimes you walk into a place and immediately think “okay, this works” – that’s exactly what happened here. The building itself sits right in the heart of Riga’s central district, and I mean you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town but without all the tourist chaos right outside your door.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to nail that sweet spot between apartment-style independence and actual hotel service. The units themselves feel properly lived-in (in a good way) – not that sterile hotel room vibe where you’re afraid to touch anything. The kitchenettes are actually functional, which honestly is rare in these apartment hotels. I ended up grabbing groceries from the Rimi down the street and making coffee in the morning instead of hunting for overpriced café lattes. The whole setup just makes sense if you’re staying more than a night or two. And the beds – well, let’s just say I slept better than I have in months, though that might’ve been helped by the fact that Čaka iela is surprisingly quiet at night, especially compared to some of the streets closer to the Daugava.

Here’s what nobody tells you about this area though – you’re positioned perfectly to actually live like a local for a few days. There’s this little produce market about a ten-minute walk away that the hotel staff mentioned (they’re genuinely helpful, by the way, not just going through the motions). The neighborhood has that authentic Riga feel without being too residential or boring. I mean, you can walk to Kronvalda park when you need some green space, but you’re also close enough to the action that you don’t feel cut off from everything. The 8.6 rating makes total sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be fancy or flashy, but everything just works the way it should. Honestly, the only minor thing I’d mention is that the elevator is a bit slow, but that’s pretty standard for these older buildings in the city center. If you’re looking for something that feels more like staying in someone’s well-appointed guest room rather than a generic hotel box, this is definitely worth considering.
