Premium Design – Top Location – Fast WiFi Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Premium Design – Top Location – Fast WiFi,” I thought it was going to be one of those places that tries too hard and delivers nothing special. But you know what? Sometimes a hotel that puts its priorities right in the name actually follows through, and this little spot on Marijas iela does exactly that.

The location really is fantastic – I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Freedom Monument, and Vecrīga (the Old Town) is right there when you step out the door. What I actually love about this street is that it’s busy enough to feel safe walking around at night, but it’s not so crazy that you’re dealing with drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 3 AM. The WiFi thing isn’t just marketing speak either – I was working remotely during my stay and never had a single dropout, which honestly surprised me for a 3-star place in this part of town. As for the design, well, it’s clean and modern without being sterile. Think Scandinavian minimalism but with a bit more personality – lots of light wood, some actually decent artwork on the walls, and bathrooms that don’t make you feel like you’re in a hostel.

Here’s what really sold me on the place: the staff actually know the neighborhood. When I asked about getting to the Central Market early in the morning, the guy at the front desk didn’t just point me toward a map – he told me which vendors have the best smoked fish and warned me that the flower section gets crazy busy around 9 AM on weekends. That kind of local insight is worth its weight in gold. The rooms themselves are compact but smartly laid out (I had the feeling someone actually thought about how people use hotel rooms), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable for what you’re paying. The shower pressure is solid, which I mention because it’s been hit-or-miss at other places I’ve stayed in Rīga. One small thing that bugged me – the air conditioning is a bit loud, but honestly, most nights I just opened the window since the street noise dies down pretty early.

What really makes this place work is that it doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. It’s a well-run, thoughtfully designed spot that happens to be in a great location with reliable internet. The 8-point rating makes sense to me – it’s doing everything right without any major wow factors, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want. If you’re the type of traveler who spends most of your time exploring the city and just needs a comfortable, functional base, this hits the sweet spot. Plus, there’s something refreshing about a place that leads with “fast WiFi” instead of promising you luxury amenities it doesn’t have.

Reviews of Premium Design – Top Location – Fast WiFi

  • Exceptional – Влада from Germany – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

    Понравилось ,абсолютно, все. Впечатления складывались из мелочей, которые позволили нам насладиться отдыхом. Хозяева дали очень подробную инструкцию для заселения. Шампанское и шоколадка были очень к стати , кухня и санузел оборудованы всем необходимым, плюс халаты, чего нет у других, зарядные устройства для телефонов, аптечка, беруши , чай, кофе и многое другое.Очень чисто, приятный запах, уютно. А также стильный и современный дизайн. Рекомендую.

    What could be improved: Нет такого.
