Riga Centre Sun Apartments

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about the Riga Centre Sun Apartments? The name actually makes sense – these aren’t some cramped studio units squeezed into a converted building. I mean, when you’re on Katoļu iela, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Daugava River, and honestly, the morning light streaming through those apartment windows is something else. The whole street has this quiet residential vibe that feels worlds away from the tourist chaos around Town Hall Square, but you’re still close enough to walk to Old Town without breaking a sweat.

The apartments themselves are properly spacious – I’m talking actual living rooms where you can spread out, not those hotel rooms where your suitcase takes up half the floor space. The kitchens are legit too, which is clutch if you’ve been eating out for days and just want to grab some black bread and cheese from the Rimi down the street. What really struck me was how they’ve managed to keep that authentic Riga apartment feel while actually making everything work for travelers. The bathrooms are modern (thank god), the wifi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and you get proper blackout curtains – small things that matter when you’re dealing with those brutal Baltic summer sunsets that happen at like 10 PM.

Location-wise, this is where locals actually live, not where they perform for tourists. You’ll hear Latvian conversations in the courtyard, smell someone’s dinner cooking, see people walking their dogs to Kronvalda Park in the evening. It’s a proper neighborhood feel, you know? The 35a address puts you right between the university area and the city center, so you get this interesting mix of students grabbing coffee and business people heading to work. I actually loved walking down to the river in the mornings – there’s this pathway that takes you right along the water, and hardly any tourists know about it. Plus, when you want to dive into the Old Town madness, you just cross the Stone Bridge and boom, you’re in medieval Latvia. The trams run constantly if you don’t feel like walking, and parking isn’t the nightmare it is closer to the cathedral. One small thing though – the building entrance is a bit understated, so don’t expect some grand hotel lobby experience. But honestly, that’s part of the charm. You’re staying in Riga like someone who actually lives here, not like you’re passing through on a cruise ship.

Reviews

• Excellent stay in Riga – Marija from United Kingdom – 16 May 2024 (10/10)

  The property is very nice-sized and very sunny on a good day. We enjoyed the size of the bed, and generally, the property has everything you need for your stay. But most important was that the lovely host/owner of the property was very welcoming, friendly, and very detailed. The host also allows medium-sized dog, which was excellent news for us. We came over with a car, however, and then walked to the city centre, which was about 30–40 minutes. We also met lovely people in the local park who suggested places we could visit.
