Saint Peter’s Apartment

First Impressions

Walking into Saint Peter’s Apartment feels more like entering a stylish friend’s place than a typical hotel — which is exactly the point. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Riga’s Old Town on Grēcinieku street, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you tried. The building itself has that perfectly preserved European charm, but step inside and you’ll find everything’s been thoughtfully updated for modern comfort.

Location & Old Town Magic

You’re literally surrounded by medieval architecture and cobblestone streets that lead to some of Riga’s best restaurants and bars within a two-minute walk. I mean, you can practically roll out of bed and be at the central square before your morning coffee kicks in. The Daugava River is just a short stroll away, and if you’re into exploring, the Art Nouveau district — which Riga is famous for — is easily walkable from here.

The Apartment Experience

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve designed each apartment to feel like a proper home base. The room I stayed in had this great mix of contemporary furnishings with subtle nods to Latvian design — nothing too touristy, just tasteful touches that remind you where you are. The kitchenette is actually functional (rare for hotel accommodations), so you can grab fresh ingredients from the nearby Centrāltirgus market and cook something if you want a break from eating out.

Practical Comforts

The beds are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable — and the bathrooms are spacious with excellent water pressure. WiFi works perfectly throughout, which matters when you’re trying to research your next day’s adventures or catch up on work. There’s also parking available, though honestly, in Old Town Riga you won’t need a car much since everything’s so walkable.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.7 rating makes perfect sense once you experience how this place operates. The staff actually knows the neighborhood and can point you toward spots that aren’t in every guidebook — like which bakery has the best rye bread or where locals go for drinks after work. It’s that sweet spot between having your own space and getting helpful local insights when you need them. Plus, you’re staying in one of Europe’s most underrated capital cities, where your money goes further and the crowds are manageable compared to other Baltic destinations.
