Riga Center – Quiet Studio – 5 min to Old Town & NFLX

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “Riga Center – Quiet Studio – 5 min to Old Town & NFLX,” I rolled my eyes a bit. I mean, who puts Netflix in their hotel name? But you know what? After staying here, I actually get it. This little place on Alfrēda Kalniņa iela really does nail the whole “quiet but central” thing that’s so hard to find in Riga.

The studio itself is exactly what you’d expect from a well-run 3-star spot – clean, efficient, and honestly more comfortable than some fancier places I’ve stayed. The bed’s solid (none of that saggy mattress nonsense), and yeah, the Netflix thing isn’t just marketing – they’ve got a decent setup where you can actually log into your own account and wind down after walking around the city all day. What really impressed me though was how genuinely quiet it is. Alfrēda Kalniņa is one of those streets that feels residential but isn’t completely dead – you’re not dealing with late-night bar crowds stumbling past your window, but you’re also not stuck in some lifeless business district. I slept better here than I did at that supposedly luxury hotel near the Daugava last year.

The location is where this place really shines, and I don’t just mean the obvious Old Town proximity. Sure, you can walk to the cathedral and those cobblestone streets in about five minutes, but what’s more useful day-to-day is that you’re right in the sweet spot for actual life in Riga. There’s a solid little grocery store maybe two blocks away – not one of those tourist-price minimarkets, but a real place where locals shop. The tram connections are fantastic if you want to explore beyond the center, and honestly, walking to places like the Central Market or even the Art Nouveau district is totally doable. I found myself using the kitchen setup more than I expected because picking up fresh bread and local cheese was so easy. The 9.6 rating makes sense once you’re there – it’s not trying to be something it’s not, but what it does, it does really well. The check-in was smooth (they actually answered their phone when I called about arriving early), and the whole experience felt more like borrowing a friend’s well-organized apartment than staying at a generic hotel. If you’re the type who wants to experience Riga like you actually live there for a few days, rather than just tick off tourist boxes, this place gets it right.

Reviews

• A comfy modern luxurious studio – Gregor from Slovenia – 8 May 2025 (9/10)

  A very modern and neatly equipped studio. With a welcome drinks and chocolates. The bed was cosy.
  
  What could be improved: All was excellent, it only got a bit chilly on some days when I was working in the Appartment, and the airconditioner didn't have any heating function. But that is really a minor thing for such an amazing experience.

• A peaceful, stylish hideaway in the perfect location with a truly wonderful host! – Olya from United Kingdom – 8 April 2025 (9/10)

  I absolutely loved everything about this place! The studio was cozy, modern, and immaculately clean, with thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a home away from home. The location is perfect—tucked away on a quiet street, yet just a short 5-minute walk to the heart of Old Town. Having Netflix was a bonus for relaxing evenings, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The host was exceptional—super friendly, communicative, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make my stay smooth and comfortable.
