S6 Apartments

Hotel Description

You know what? S6 Apartments surprised me – and I mean that in the best way possible. I’ll be honest, when I first walked up to 6 Šķūņu iela, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a 3-star place tucked into Riga’s Old Town area. The building itself has that solid, no-nonsense Baltic architecture thing going on, but once you’re inside, it’s actually quite charming. The lobby’s got this clean, modern vibe without trying too hard to be trendy, and the staff – well, they genuinely seem to know their stuff about the city.

Here’s the thing about the location that really works: you’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Freedom Monument, which sounds touristy but is actually perfect for getting your bearings in the city. More importantly (at least for me), you’re close enough to the good stuff in Vecrīga but far enough that you’re not dealing with the late-night party crowds stumbling around. I could walk to those incredible Art Nouveau buildings on Alberta iela in about ten minutes, and honestly, that stretch never gets old. The apartments themselves are solid – I mean, they’re not going to win any design awards, but everything works, the Wi-Fi is reliable, and the kitchenette situation is actually useful if you want to grab some of that amazing rye bread from the markets and have a proper breakfast. The beds are comfortable enough, and I appreciated that the windows actually open (you’d be surprised how many places seal you in completely). One small thing – the water pressure in the shower is decent, but it takes a minute to get properly hot, so don’t panic if you’re standing there shivering at first.

What really bumped this place up for me was the little details that show someone’s actually thinking about what travelers need. There’s decent soundproofing between units, parking is sorted if you’re driving (which in Riga’s center is no small feat), and the whole check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. Plus, and this might sound weird, but the place just feels clean in that deep-clean way, not just surface-level tidy. I stayed there during one of those gray November weeks when Riga can feel a bit melancholy, and honestly, having a cozy base to come back to made all the difference. The 8.7 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting solid value without any major headaches – sometimes that’s exactly what you want. If you’re the type who needs a concierge and room service, this isn’t your spot, but if you want a reliable, well-located base for exploring one of Europe’s most underrated cities, S6 Apartments delivers without the fuss.

Reviews

• Loved the apartment, ear plugs were saviours. – Ilona from United Kingdom – 6 July 2025 (8/10)

  Very central location, on second floor, safe entrance, very clean, modern, good bathroom and spacious wardrobe, and it has everything for a short stay.
  
  What could be improved: There are 3 busy popular bars just under apartment windows. Very noisy up to 4 am on weekends and most nights to 2 am every single night. Some midweek nights it seemed like the only popular busy buzzing bars.

• Very good – Michael from Canada – 29 June 2025 (8/10)

  Perfect location
  
  What could be improved: Need a sign to tell people that rooms 16-23 are NOT up the stairs..

• Exceptional – Stylianos from Greece – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect place! Great room!

• A perfect place to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. – Zaman from India – 7 June 2025 (9/10)

  It was clean and comfortable, and within walking distance from the main attractions of Old Riga. As a solo traveler I felt completely safe as the managers were very responsive. I also enjoyed the sounds coming from the nearby eating places and music wafting in from the windows.
  
  What could be improved: The pots and pans are placed too high above the stove. While it did not inconvenience me as I did not want to cook but providing the extensive cutlery and cookware (there was plenty that I could see) if it is at a height which is not within access.

• Sweet spot – Samu from Finland – 20 May 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment was very clean and location superb; right in the center of the old town. Communication was great and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Some noise from bar downstairs, but it's narural in location like this.

• Perfect place – Naim from Lebanon – 16 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very clean, amenities work perfect well, clear instructions for self-check in. Location perfect and the staff is friendly and responsive
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Superb – Neringa from Lithuania – 10 May 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect location, comfortable and well equipped apartment! I had everything, what I needed for my short 2 nights stay. Consider to come back with friends.

• Exceptional – Ivo from Germany – 25 April 2025 (10/10)

  The location is fantastic, directly on the old town with easy access to a lot of places to eat and have a drink.
  
  What could be improved: A bit loud when there were parties on the bars, but It was ok

• Incredibly central, well equipped apartment on the doorstep of Riga's old town and nightlife – Julia from United Kingdom – 13 March 2025 (8/10)

  Super host – very communicative and clear.
  Well equipped apartment that had everything you needed for a stay of more than a few nights.
  Incredibly central location – great for exploring the historic old town and joining the lively nightlife.
  
  What could be improved: Because it's so close to the lively nightlife (literally above a bar that's open into the night), it can be very noisy, especially at the weekend. If you're visiting Riga for the nightlife, then that makes it an amazing apartment to stay in for the convenience. But if you're not so into the nightlife and are hoping to catch some sleep, you might find this location a bit trickier if staying on a weekend (weekdays were significantly quieter).
  Great apartment overall but think about what you're coming to Riga for before picking your accommodation location.

• Riga lovely, flat central, repairs need doing , very noisy through the night . – Claire from United Kingdom – 27 June 2025 (7/10)

  Central location. Everything we needed in the kitchen, comfy bed, good decor.
  
  What could be improved: Flat 4C There was a dangerous broken tile in the bathroom floor and a loose one next to it. There had been no attempt to repair or stick it down. The floor had multiple pubic hairs on it which was not pleasant to clean up on arrival. If the cleaning team had been in why wasn't I warned of the broken tile? Also there were burn marks in the sink which I told the team about. We did not want to be charged extra for damages we hadn't caused. I sent photos and texts on arrival. This wasn't what I expected to have to do after a long journey . Extremely noisy through the night as the bar beneath turned the music up at 23.00 until the early hours of the morning. Very difficult to sleep.
