Riga Embassy center Apartment with parking

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about this place on Rūpniecības – it’s not your typical hotel experience, but honestly, that’s exactly why I ended up loving it. The Riga Embassy center Apartment is basically what happens when someone takes a really solid apartment and decides to rent it out to travelers, except they actually did it right. You’re literally staying in what feels like a local’s place, which I mean, in a city like Riga where the real charm is in living like you belong there, that’s pretty perfect.

The location is interesting – Rūpniecības iela isn’t exactly tourist central, but that’s the thing about Riga that took me a while to figure out. You don’t want to be stuck in Old Town with all the bachelor parties anyway. This spot puts you in an actual neighborhood where you’ll walk past the same coffee shop guy every morning and start recognizing faces. It’s maybe a 15-minute walk to the historic center, but honestly, those 15 minutes take you through some of the most authentic parts of the city. Plus – and this is huge – they actually have parking included, which if you’ve ever tried to park in European city centers, you know is worth its weight in gold.

The apartment itself has this lived-in quality that I really appreciated. The furniture isn’t trying too hard to be Instagram-perfect, but everything works well and feels comfortable. The kitchen is properly equipped (I’m talking real knives and decent cookware, not the plastic nonsense you usually get), which came in handy when I discovered the incredible Central Market just a short trip away. The bed was surprisingly good – firm but not like sleeping on concrete – and the windows actually block out street noise pretty well. You know what really impressed me though? The little touches that show someone actually thinks about what travelers need. Extra towels without asking, decent Wi-Fi that doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and enough electrical outlets that you don’t have to choose between charging your phone and your laptop.

I stayed there during shoulder season in late spring, and the whole area had this quiet, residential energy that made me feel like I was getting a real taste of how Rigans actually live. The building itself is solid Soviet-era construction, which means thick walls and neighbors you rarely hear. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – none of that overly formal hotel desk experience, just practical information from someone who clearly knows the neighborhood well. The 8.4 rating makes sense to me because while it’s not luxury, it delivers exactly what it promises and then some. If you’re the type of traveler who’d rather have a real experience than a polished hotel bubble, this place gets it right.

Reviews

• Great apartment—clean, well-located, and matched the description. No central heating, but portable heaters worked fine. – Adrian from Romania – 10 May 2025 (8/10)

  Great apartment—clean, well-located, and matched the description. No central heating, but portable heaters worked fine. The 4 PM check-in and strict 11 AM checkout felt a bit rushed, especially with cleaning staff knocking right at 11. Communication was fast but fully templated, and a call for help wasn’t useful as the person didn’t speak English. Good for independent travelers, but more warmth and flexibility would help.
  
  What could be improved: The staff and attitude

• it's dark and stuffy in the quiet center of Riga – Svetlana from Latvia – 27 July 2024 (7/10)

  clean apartments in a quiet city center
  
  What could be improved: The apartments are dark and very stuffy, in the summer, hot time the lack of air conditioning or a basic fan made the stay painful, despite the fact that it was cool outside. The apartments are on the first floor, very dark, even during the day. In combination with the stuffiness, the apartments do not leave the best impression. There are bars on the windows, so-so view from the window. The hostess is not very responsive, there is a corkscrew for wine, but it is broken, there is a dishwasher, but there are no tablets for washing.

• Exceptional – Alexey from Lithuania – 28 December 2023 (10/10)

  Very nice and clean modern apartments. In the kitchen you can find everything.There is a private parking, which is important if you travel by car. Rimi supermarket is near to the apartments. It is about 10 min walking from Old Town. Apartments are good for a family with children or for 2 families. I recommend this place.
  
  What could be improved: Maybe a bit far from Old Town, but acceptable.
