— The hotel
Park view Apartment in Kraslavas street
First Impressions
Riga has a way of surprising you, and Park view Apartment in Kraslavas street is a good example of that. It sits on Krāslavas iela, a quiet residential stretch that feels a world away from the tourist bustle, yet you’re never really far from anything that matters. When I first arrived, I appreciated how the building blends into the neighbourhood — it doesn’t scream “tourist accommodation,” which is honestly part of the charm. There’s something grounding about staying somewhere that feels like it belongs to the city rather than just existing for visitors.
Location & Neighbourhood
The address puts you in a genuinely liveable part of Riga, the kind of area where locals actually go about their day. You’re close enough to the centre to walk or hop on a tram without any drama, and the surrounding streets have that understated Latvian character — a mix of art nouveau details, leafy corners, and small shops that aren’t curated for tourists. Couples in particular seem to love this spot, and I get why. It’s the sort of neighbourhood where you can wander without a plan and still end up somewhere interesting.
The Apartment
This is apartment-style accommodation, so you’re not dealing with a hotel lobby or a front desk — and honestly, that suits a lot of travellers just fine. You get your own space, which makes a real difference, especially on a longer stay or if you’re travelling as a pair and want that sense of having your own place in the city. The setup is practical without feeling sparse, and having a kitchen or kitchenette means you’re not locked into eating out for every meal. I mean, sometimes you just want to grab something from a local market and eat at home — and here, you actually can.
The Riga Experience from Here
Staying in this part of Riga gives you a slightly different perspective on the city than you’d get from a hotel in the old town. You see more of everyday life, which — if you’re curious about places rather than just ticking off sights — is genuinely valuable. The park nearby is worth a mention too; it’s the kind of green space that makes a morning coffee feel like a small event. Riga’s café culture is strong, and you’ll find good spots within easy reach without having to navigate the more crowded tourist zones.
Why Guests Love It
Park view Apartment in Kraslavas street has a 9.5 guest rating, which is well-earned from what I can tell. Recent guests have flagged the location as a real highlight, and that tracks — it’s the kind of place where the neighbourhood itself adds to the stay rather than just being a backdrop. Couples especially seem to come away happy, which makes sense given the privacy and the quieter, more romantic feel of the area. It’s not flashy, it doesn’t try to be, and that’s sort of the point — it’s a solid, well-located base for experiencing Riga on your own terms.
