Self check in Miera Art Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from a self check-in apartment, but the Miera Art Apartment completely caught me off guard. The building itself sits right on Miera iela – and if you’re not familiar with this part of Rīga, it’s honestly one of those residential streets that feels properly local without being sketchy. I mean, you’re still close enough to the old town that you can walk there (maybe 20 minutes if you’re not in a hurry), but you’re definitely living among actual Latvians, not just tourists stumbling around with maps.

The whole self check-in thing actually works better than I thought it would. They send you these detailed instructions beforehand, and honestly, it’s kind of nice not having to make small talk with a desk clerk when you’re dragging your luggage up at 10 PM. The apartment itself – well, they weren’t kidding about the “art” part. There’s this eclectic mix of local artwork on the walls, some of it clearly from Rīga artists, and the furniture has this sort of curated vintage feel that doesn’t feel forced or Instagram-y. The kitchen is small but functional (I made coffee every morning, no complaints there), and the bathroom is one of those compact European setups that somehow manages to fit everything you need without feeling cramped.

What really sold me on this place was the little details that you don’t get in bigger hotels. The windows are actually soundproof – which matters because Miera iela can get a bit lively on weekend evenings, though nothing too crazy. There’s a Rimi supermarket about three blocks away if you need groceries, and this little bakery called Maize that locals seem to love (I went there probably four times in three days). The Wi-Fi is solid, the heating works properly – look, I know that sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many places in this price range mess up the fundamentals. The bed is comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up sore, and there’s decent storage space for your stuff. Only minor gripe is that the shower pressure could be stronger, but honestly, that’s pretty typical for older buildings in this part of the city. For a 3-star place with a 9.6 rating, it absolutely delivers on what it promises – you’re getting a genuine local experience in a comfortable, thoughtfully designed space that feels more like staying in a friend’s apartment than a generic hotel room.

• Exceptional – Viktorija from Latvia – 8 June 2025 (10/10)

  Very cozy and interesting apartment 🙂

• Nice apartment in a nice area – Fabian from Latvia – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

  The location is right what i was looking for. Residential neighbourhood in front of a beautiful park. The apartment is beautiful, Spacious and well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: The only downside is that it is in a 4-5ft floor without elevator. I do not know if I miss that in the information, but it was a bit uncomfortable for my mom who is an elderly person.
