Peace street

Peace street Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Peace Street Hotel on Miera iela, I wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place. But you know what? This little spot actually surprised me in the best way possible. The building itself has that classic Rīga charm, tucked into a quiet residential street that feels authentically Latvian without being touristy. You’re basically in the heart of the city but on one of those tree-lined streets where locals actually live – I mean, there’s a small grocery store right around the corner where the cashier will try to chat with you in broken English, which is pretty endearing.

The thing about staying here is that you get this genuine neighborhood experience that most hotels can’t offer. I’d walk out in the morning and see people heading to work, kids on their way to school, and honestly, it made me feel less like a tourist and more like I was just… living in Rīga for a bit. The rooms are clean and comfortable – nothing fancy, but the beds are actually decent (you know how hit-or-miss hotel beds can be), and the wifi works properly, which is more than I can say for some pricier places I’ve stayed. What really got me was the attention to small details – like, they have proper blackout curtains, and the shower has good water pressure. Simple stuff, but it matters when you’re trying to recover from a long day of exploring.

The staff here genuinely seem to care about what they’re doing, which you can tell immediately when you check in. They’ll give you actual recommendations – not just the typical tourist traps, but places where locals go. One of the front desk guys told me about this little café about ten minutes away that serves the best coffee in the neighborhood, and he was absolutely right. Plus, if you’re planning to explore Old Town, it’s maybe a 15-minute walk, or you can hop on the tram pretty easily. Parking can be a bit tricky since it’s a residential area, but they’ll help you figure it out. The only real downside is that some rooms face the street, and while it’s generally quiet, you might hear some early morning traffic if you’re a light sleeper. But honestly, for the price point and the authentic Rīga experience you get, I’d definitely stay here again. It’s one of those places that feels like a discovery rather than just another hotel booking.
