Pearl of Imanta

Pearl of Imanta Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to the Pearl of Imanta on Kurzemes prospekts, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the best surprises come in unassuming packages, and this little gem actually delivers way more than its rating suggests.

The location is pretty clever, actually. You’re about 15 minutes from Old Town Riga, which means you dodge the tourist crowds and inflated prices but still have easy access to all the good stuff. The bus connections along Kurzemes are solid – I mean, it’s one of the main arteries heading west, so getting around is surprisingly straightforward. What really won me over, though, was how quiet it gets at night. You’re far enough from the city center chaos that you can actually sleep with the windows open, which is huge if you’re like me and hate stuffy hotel rooms. The staff here genuinely seem to care about what they’re doing, and check-in was refreshingly smooth – no upselling, no weird hidden fees, just straightforward service from people who know their neighborhood.

The rooms themselves are clean and comfortable without trying too hard to be fancy. I actually appreciate that approach – you get good beds, reliable hot water, and WiFi that doesn’t cut out every five minutes. The breakfast isn’t going to win any awards, but it’s hearty and gets the job done, especially if you’re planning to spend your day exploring rather than lounging around. What strikes me most is how this place punches above its weight class. The 9-rating makes perfect sense once you realize they’re not trying to be something they’re not – they’re just doing the basics really, really well. It’s the kind of place where business travelers become regulars and families come back year after year, which tells you something. If you’re looking for marble bathrooms and champagne service, keep looking. But if you want a solid base for exploring Riga without the downtown hotel premium, Pearl of Imanta is actually a smart choice that’ll leave you wondering why you ever paid twice as much to stay in noisier, more touristy spots.

  Very cleaned place

• Cheap – you get what you pay for. Photos are slightly misleading. – David from United Kingdom – 16 June 2024 (6/10)

  The room was comfortable and had all the facilities you need. We used the kitchen area each day to prepare food for the day so that saves us money. The owner does reply back to messages very quick, we asked for more towels and we had a problem with a leak and he was very quick to sort these. The location is very close to bus stops and a tram line, and there is 2 supermarkets next to the tram line, one being 24 hour which we found handy. The room was very clean, zero complaints there and there was hardly any noise day and night.
  
  What could be improved: When we arrived there were homeless men looking in bins and the general feel of the area made us feel very uncomfortable and on edge. I do need to point out we didn't encounter anything untoward. The water has a metal taste and leaves your skin smelling metallic. The fridge freezer was unplugged when we got there so we had to wait before we got use that. The owner speaks very little English so we didn't even get a hello when we got there. It is also quite hard to find and when we rang the owner as instructed, he couldn't help as he didn't understand. However he was waiting for us when we arrived.

• Me gusta Rīga – Regina from Spain – 9 January 2023 (10/10)

  La ubicación, el precio y el mismo apartamento, acogedor, cómodo y limpio. Hay todos los electrodomésticos necesarios.
  La parada de tranvía N1 a 4 minutos de apartamento, te lleva al centro de la ciudad, la parada de autobuses a 2 minutos, también.
  El dueño muy amable, llegamos casi a las 23:30 y nos estaba esperando en el apartamento.
  Viajen a Rīga es una ciudad preciosa, como todo el país.
  Un saludo.
