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

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

Riga Center – Quiet Studio – 5 min to Old Town & NFLX sits on a quiet block of 1 Alfrēda Kalniņa iela, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Kalnciema Street. I first walked past it on a rainy Tuesday, the kind of rain that makes the cobblestones glisten and the city feel almost otherworldly. The building itself is a modest three‑star apartment‑style hotel, but it’s the vibe that makes it a hidden gem for anyone wanting to blend the old charm of Riga with the comfort of a home away from home.

When you step into the lobby, the first thing that hits you is the smell of fresh coffee from the corner espresso machine – the barista is a friendly Latvian guy who always has a quick story about the city’s newest art installation in the old market square. Check‑in is quick, no long queues, and the staff actually remember your name if you mention you’ve been to the Central Market before – they’re quick to recommend the best stalls for a midnight snack. The room itself is a minimalist studio that feels surprisingly spacious, with a soft, almost velvety rug that muffles the city’s distant traffic. The bed is a king‑size, and the mattress is that perfect medium‑firm feel that keeps you from waking up with a back ache. The bathroom is small but functional, with a rain shower that feels like a spa escape, and they’ve even stocked a small selection of local soaps that smell like fresh-cut birch leaves.

I mean, the real magic is outside the doors. You can step out onto the street and hear the faint hum of scooters and the occasional clatter of a bicycle chain – a sound that’s oddly comforting, like a lullaby for city lovers. The hotel is just a five‑minute walk to the Old Town, so you can hop on a tram or a taxi and be in front of the iconic St. Peter’s Cathedral within minutes. If you’re into nightlife, you’ll find a handful of cozy bars and cafés on the corner of 3rd Street, where locals gather for a quick glass of Riga’s famous beer. For those who need to stay connected, the Wi‑Fi is fast, and the small office space in the lobby is a great spot to catch up on emails while sipping a latte. Parking is a bit of a hassle – there’s no on‑site space, but a paid lot on the adjacent street is just a block away, and the staff can give you the best tips for the cheapest rates.

Honestly, the only downside I noticed was the noise level in the early mornings. The city’s morning traffic can be a bit loud, and the studio’s windows are not double‑glazed, so if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to bring earplugs. But that’s a minor quibble compared to the overall experience. The staff’s friendliness and the thoughtful touches – like a handwritten welcome note and a small map of hidden cafés – make you feel like you’re staying in a friend’s apartment rather than a generic hotel. You’ll find that the hotel’s location is perfect for exploring the city’s cultural spots – from the art galleries on the riverbank to the historic churches of the Old Town – without having to worry about long commutes. All in all, this place offers a cozy, authentic slice of Riga that’s both practical and genuinely welcoming.

Hotel in Riga booking should be done early, especially during White Nights season when the city hosts internationally celebrated cultural and music events.

  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.
