Premium Design, Renovated 2024 Free parking

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment I walked up to 14a Marijas iela, I was expecting another cookie-cutter renovation job – but honestly, whoever designed this spot actually gets it. The 2024 renovation wasn’t just slapping new paint on old walls; they genuinely thought about how people actually use hotel spaces. I mean, the lobby has this clean, minimalist vibe that doesn’t feel sterile, and there’s something about the lighting that makes you feel more awake rather than like you’re in a dentist’s office.

The location is pretty brilliant if you know Rīga at all. Marijas iela puts you right in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to the Old Town action but far enough away that you’re not dealing with drunk tourists stumbling around at 2 AM. You can walk to the central market in about ten minutes – and trust me, you want to do that early morning run for the best pastries before the crowds hit. The free parking thing is actually a huge deal here because finding a spot in central Rīga can be absolutely maddening, especially during summer when half of Scandinavia seems to descend on the city. I watched other guests pulling up in their cars looking genuinely relieved they didn’t have to circle the block fifteen times.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out. The guy at reception (I think his name was Māris?) didn’t just give me the standard tourist map – he actually marked where the locals grab coffee, which tram lines to avoid during rush hour, and mentioned that the little park across from the National Theatre is perfect for morning runs. The rooms themselves feel thoughtfully designed rather than just “premium” for the sake of it. Everything works properly (novel concept, right?), the beds are actually comfortable, and the windows open wide enough to get that fresh Baltic air without the street noise being overwhelming. The whole place has that rare quality where you can tell someone sweated the details – like the shower pressure is consistently good, the WiFi doesn’t drop every five minutes, and the coffee maker in the room isn’t some ancient contraption that produces brown water. With a 9.9 rating, I was skeptical about whether it could live up to the hype, but honestly? Sometimes places just get it right.

Reviews

• Beautiful apartment in the center. – Outi from Finland – 30 May 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was clean and beautiful, beds were excellent and there was a parking place! The apartment is situated close to the old town and the central market. Small supermarket downstairs, bus stop right by the building and tram stops next block. Very convenient!
  It was easy to reach our hostess by email and we always got the answers right away.
  
  What could be improved: Actually we liked everything, but in order to be able to use the dishwasher we would have needed more plates etc or used to dishwasher almost empty. So we washes the dishes by hand, which was not a problem.

  10/10 apartment in Riga. The location is perfect – just a short walk to the old town and very close to public transport, which made exploring the city super easy. The apartment is incredibly well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the little details really make a difference. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, and I immediately felt at home. The host was also very kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would definitely stay here again!

• Excellent stay in beautifully designed apartment – Luisa from Germany – 30 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment has a perfect size for a couple and it’s beautifully designed. We especially appreciated that the details were so thought through: there is a water filter for drinking water, perfectly used space for a dishwasher, a small table, and closet space. Anything we could have wished for was already provided. The check-in was very smooth as well. Excellent stay.

• Perfect stay! Recommended! – Graovac from Serbia – 28 September 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment was fully renovated, very modern, with all the appliances and things necessary. The check-in went smoothly, we had enough towels, toiletries, a nice welcoming coffee, sweets and water from the host. The apartment is beautifly designed with attention to details and the cleanliness was superb – no dust anywhere. The bed was luxurious and very comfortable with beautiful warm lighting in the room.
