Serviced apartment Purvciems

Serviced apartment Purvciems Overview

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment I walked up to Purvciema iela 20, I wasn’t expecting much from a serviced apartment tucked away in this residential stretch of Rīga. But honestly, sometimes the best finds are the ones that don’t try too hard to impress you from the street.

The apartment sits on the first floor of what feels like a proper neighborhood building – not some touristy district where you’re paying extra just for the address. Purvciems isn’t exactly the Old Town (thank god, because you’ll actually sleep here), but it’s got this authentic Latvian residential vibe that I actually preferred. The local grocery store is literally around the corner, and there’s something oddly satisfying about grabbing your morning coffee from the same place the neighbors do. Plus, getting into central Rīga takes maybe 15 minutes if you know the tram routes – which, let me tell you, are way more reliable than I expected.

What really sold me on this place was the space itself. It’s properly set up like someone actually lives there, not like those sterile hotel rooms where you can’t figure out how to turn off the air conditioning. The kitchen has real utensils (not those flimsy plastic things), and the coffee maker actually works well. I mean, the decor isn’t going to win any design awards, but everything feels solid and thought-out. The bed was surprisingly comfortable too – firm but not like sleeping on concrete. The only minor thing is that you can hear the neighbors occasionally, but it’s more like gentle life sounds than actual disturbance. Actually made me feel more at home, if that makes sense.

The check-in process was refreshingly straightforward – none of that awkward lobby hovering while they “prepare your room.” And parking? Well, it’s street parking, but in this neighborhood you’ll actually find a spot without circling for twenty minutes like some kind of urban vulture. The whole area quiets down nicely in the evenings, which is perfect if you’re planning to explore Rīga during the day and actually rest at night. I stayed there during late spring, and honestly, opening the windows for that fresh air beat any fancy ventilation system.

  Very clean and nice apartment. Great location, everything you would need is easily reachable.

• Superb – Zygmunt from Poland – 16 June 2025 (9/10)

  Warunki mieszkaniowe jakie zastaliśmy były bardzo dobre.
  
  What could be improved: Samo wejście do obiektu to obraz szokujący, ten stan rzeczy jest niezależny od właściciela apartamentu. Ale jest to znakomity przykład socjalistycznej gospodarki.

• Mooi appartement en alle was perfect en goed onderhouden. – Johnny from Belgium – 11 May 2025 (10/10)

  Het mooie appartement zelf.

  What could be improved: –

• Superb – Eriks from Latvia – 22 June 2025 (9/10)

  Просторная квартира. Довольно чисто. Есть почти всё что нужно для проживания. Даже посудомойка. Приятно что также была бутылка минералки и 2 круасана.
  
  What could be improved: Жесткий матрас. На подушки были одеты наволочки меньшего размера, из за чего подушки были очень твердыми. Пришлось снять наволочку и одеть на декоративную диванную подушку. Также, что шокировало, в коридоре в шкафу стояли одноразовые-многоразовые тапочки. Такого конечно не должно быть.
