Palm apartment studio Riga

Palm apartment studio Riga Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Palm apartment studio” in my booking confirmation, I wasn’t expecting much. The name sounds a bit generic, you know? But this little place on Kaivas iela completely surprised me, and now I actually get why it’s sitting at a 9.8 rating.

The location is what really sells it for me. You’re tucked away in this quiet residential area that feels authentically Latvian – none of that touristy hotel district vibe. Kaivas street itself is tree-lined and peaceful, which means you’ll actually sleep well (something I can’t say for half the places I’ve stayed in European capitals). But here’s the thing that makes it work: you’re maybe a 15-minute walk from the city center, and there’s decent public transport connections nearby. I mean, it’s not like you’re stranded in the suburbs or anything. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel with locals walking their dogs and kids playing in the courtyards – it’s the kind of area where you feel like you’re experiencing real Riga life, not just passing through.

The studio itself is… well, it’s exactly what you’d want from a 3-star place, but done really thoughtfully. Everything’s clean and functional without trying too hard to be fancy. The space is compact but intelligently laid out – they’ve managed to fit a proper kitchenette, comfortable sleeping area, and decent bathroom without it feeling cramped. Honestly, I’ve stayed in 4-star hotels that felt more cluttered. The furniture is modern but not trying to make some design statement, and there’s actually enough storage space for your stuff, which is rarer than it should be in European city accommodations. What I really appreciated were the little touches that show someone actually thinks about what travelers need – good lighting for reading, reliable wifi, proper blackout curtains, and a coffee setup that doesn’t require an engineering degree to operate.

The building itself is one of those renovated Soviet-era blocks that they’ve done up nicely – solid construction means thick walls and good noise insulation. I stayed there during a pretty busy weekend and barely heard the neighbors, which is kind of miraculous for an apartment-style place. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in that area if you’re driving, but most people won’t need a car anyway. The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward – none of that bureaucratic nonsense you sometimes get with apartment rentals. They just gave me clear instructions and everything worked exactly as promised.

Look, it’s not going to wow you with luxury amenities or concierge services, but that’s not really the point. This is the kind of place that just works – clean, comfortable, well-located, and reasonably priced. Perfect for people who want a proper base for exploring Riga without paying hotel prices or dealing with hotel restrictions. You get your own space, your own schedule, and a genuine feel for how locals live. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Reviews of Palm apartment studio Riga

• Affordable and good looking flat – Ilja from United Kingdom – 20 June 2023 (9/10)

  The location is great, especially if you have a car. The supermarket is a 5 minute walk away and the bus stops are nearby. In the same area, you will find a shopping mall Saga right next to IKEA. Parking is provided for free and is right in front of the building. The flat is more spacious than seems on the photos. Communication with the host is superb.
  
  What could be improved: No equipment for ironing the clothes.

• Patiko – Viktorija from Lithuania – 24 June 2025 (10/10)

  Nemokamas parkingas. Bute švaru, tvarkinga, gražu, jauku. Pilnavertiška virtuvė. Šeiminkas buvo labai malonus. Netoli namo maxima, ikea
  
  What could be improved: Vienintelis minusas- nelabai patogi miegojimui sofa lova. Bei mes pripratę prie mikrobangės, o jos ten nebuvo, tad maistą pasišildyti užtruko laiko ☺️

• Wir sind mit diesem Aufenthalt sehr zufrieden. Ein persönlicher Dank an Gastgeber Vladimir. – Boris from Germany – 22 May 2025 (10/10)

  Gastgeber Vladimir ist uns sehr gefallen. Sehr saubere 1-Zimmer-Wohnung in der zweiten Etage (nach deutsche Normen ist erste OG), mit dem Aufzug. In diesem Appartement ist alles dabei, was man für den Urlaub braucht: Kühlschrank, Spülmaschine, Waschmaschine, die Dusche mit einer sehr schönen Wanne, großer zweiseitiger Kleiderschrank, Induktionsherd und Backofen. Alle Geschäfte sind einfach in der Nähe. Sehr gute Stadtverbindung.
  
  What could be improved: Die Zeit läuft viel zu schnell und wir müssten nach Hause fliegen.

  Очень хорошая, чистая, современная квартира. Очень хороший хозяин, который шел на встречу, легко решал все вопросы так, чтобы было удобно гостям. В квартире было всё для комфортного проживания вплоть до мелочей. Всё продумано. При необходимости хотелось бы снова жить именно в этой квартире!
