Riverside Design Apartment with underground private parking

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places around Riga’s Old Town, but this apartment on Republikas Laukums actually surprised me – and honestly, that doesn’t happen often anymore. The building itself sits right on one of those classic Riga squares that tourists walk through constantly, but here’s the thing most people don’t realize: once you’re inside, it’s surprisingly quiet. The design is what caught my attention first – it’s not trying to be some over-the-top boutique place, but someone clearly put thought into making it feel modern without losing that Baltic character.

The underground parking is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving. I mean, finding parking in central Riga can be a nightmare, especially during summer when the cruise ships dump everyone into the old town. You just roll down into your own spot and forget about it – no circling blocks or feeding meters every two hours. The apartment itself feels more spacious than you’d expect from the outside, with these big windows that let in tons of light during those long summer days (though if you’re visiting in winter, well, that’s a different story entirely). The kitchen’s actually functional too, not just some tiny corner setup – I ended up cooking breakfast most mornings because there’s a decent grocery store just a few blocks down Brīvības iela.

What really works about this place is the location without the chaos. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the House of the Blackheads and all that tourist stuff, but Republikas Laukums has this slightly more residential feel – you’ll see locals cutting through on their way to work, kids playing in the square during evenings. The trams run right nearby if you want to explore beyond the center, and there’s this little café called Milda that locals actually go to, not just tour groups. The apartment’s rating of 9 makes sense to me – it’s not trying to be luxury, but everything works properly, it’s clean, and the details are right. The shower has good pressure (you’d be surprised how rare that is), the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and the bed is comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up with a sore back. Sure, you can hear some street noise during the day, but that’s city life – and by 10 PM it’s pretty peaceful. If you’re looking for something that feels like staying in Riga rather than just passing through, this place gets it right.

• Ok, just not great – Adam from Slovakia – 20 September 2024 (8/10)

  It's in a great place. The apartment is in good condition and you get the essentials. It's mostly quiet too.
  
  What could be improved: There is an AC unit above the entrance. It started to drip by itself and we woke up to a hallway with a puddle in it. We used a pan to catch the water for the whole stay.
  
  We notified the company. Silence. We tried a couple more times. Silence. Which is weird because they replied to my previous messages.
  
  Some of the equipment has seen better days.
  
  There is a huge dishwasher which is great, but only 3 tablets, which is not much if you are staying for over 1 week. To be fair, we did not ask for more, but just the principle since there is a very limited number of dishes available to use, so even with using all of them, you do not fill it all the way. What I am saying is either more tablets or more plates and mugs available, please.
