Riverside Old Town Spacious One Bedroom Apartment few steps from Dome square and Cathedral

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of Old Town apartments across Europe, and most of them are either tiny shoe boxes or tourist traps with zero character. This place on Miesnieku iela? It’s actually different. When I first walked up to number 14, I was honestly expecting another cramped conversion, but the moment you step inside, you realize someone actually thought about how people live, not just how many beds they could cram in.

The apartment is genuinely spacious – I mean, you can open your suitcase without having to move furniture around, which is saying something for Riga’s historic center. The bedroom’s got proper blackout curtains (trust me, this matters when you’re dealing with those brutal Baltic summer sunsets at 10 PM), and there’s enough room in the living area to actually relax after a day of walking cobblestones. What I really loved though was how quiet it stays despite being right in the thick of things. Miesnieku street has this perfect sweet spot location where you’re literally a two-minute walk from Dome Square – I timed it because I’m nerdy like that – but you’re just far enough from the main tourist drag that you don’t get the late-night bachelor party noise that plagues some other Old Town spots.

You know what really sold me on this place? The little details that show someone who gets it runs the show. The kitchen actually has proper coffee cups, not those tiny hotel ones, and there’s a decent shower with water pressure that doesn’t make you feel like you’re being misted by a plant sprayer. The building itself has that authentic old Riga character – thick walls, high ceilings, the works – but without the draftiness that makes some historic places feel like beautiful refrigerators. And honestly, the 9.3 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there. The check-in was smooth (they actually respond to messages quickly, which isn’t always a given with apartment rentals), and the whole experience just felt… well, like staying somewhere that someone actually cares about. If you’re planning to explore Riga properly – and I mean really explore, not just hit the Instagram spots – this gives you the perfect base where you can duck back between the cathedral and the riverside walks without feeling like you’re trekking across the city every time you need to drop off shopping bags or grab a jacket.

Reviews

• Beautiful apartment, ideally located in old town Riga. – Victoria from United Kingdom – 20 May 2025 (10/10)

  This apartment was perfect. Communication with the host was excellent. Very clear instructions on how to gain access to the apartment were given, along with ideas for an itinerary of things to see and places to go.
  The location was fantastic – walking distance to all the sights and also to the train ststion and bus stops for transport to the airport. There are many restaurants and shops nearby and the area is very safe.
  The apartment was well equipped and clean. There was no noise from any of the surrounding area. I had no complaints at all.
  Riga is beautiful and I hope to return and stay here again sometime. I would recommend staying here.

• Exceptional – Christopher from Australia – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  I like the spaciousness and comfort of the room and the quiet location in the old town. Also, it is on the ground floor so no hassles about carrying luggage up flights of stairs! The host was pleasant to deal with and very responsive to our queries. As we were in Riga for a short two day stay, we didn't use the kitchen facilities for cooking, but think it is enough to make simple meals.
  
  We really enjoyed our stay in Riga, trying out local foods and exploring the old town. At the end of the day, it was lovely to come back to a cosy, comfortable place to.rest!
