Sherlock Apartments

Sherlock Apartments Overview

When I first walked up to Sherlock Apartments on 3 Mazā Monētu iela, I felt like I’d stumbled into a hidden speakeasy of Rīga. The building itself is a quiet, four‑star gem that feels oddly like a cozy, modern flat rather than a hotel. The lobby has a low‑key, industrial vibe—think exposed brick, a few potted plants, and a barista who knows how to pull a latte so it looks like it’s been there forever. Check‑in is quick and friendly, no long queue, which is a relief after a hectic flight. The staff even tosses you a welcome card with a list of nearby cafés that locals swear by, so you’re not just handed a key but a little local guide.

The rooms are a solid 4‑star experience, but what really makes them special is the window view. You can see the bustling street of Ģertruda with its tiny cafés and bookshops, and just a short walk away is the Old Town’s cobblestones that feel like you’re stepping back in time. The bed is a cloud‑like comfort, and the bathroom feels like a spa with a deep soaking tub that makes you want to linger. The only real gripe: the hallway lights flicker sometimes, but that’s a tiny price to pay for the soft, warm glow that fills the space. Noise from the city is pretty low, especially if you’re on the upper floors; you can hear the distant honk of a bus and the murmur of a nearby market, but it’s far enough away to let you dream.

If you’re looking for a place that blends the vibe of a local apartment with the perks of a hotel, Sherlock Apartments does it right. Just step outside and you’ll find yourself on a short walk to the Central Market where the scent of fresh fish and rye bread hits you immediately. A few blocks over, the Latvian National Opera offers a night of culture if you’re in the mood for a show, and the nearby cafés serve coffee so strong you’ll want to stay there until dawn. Parking is a bit of a scavenger hunt—street parking is limited on weekends, so consider using the nearby public parking lot, but it’s usually free if you find a spot early. The hotel’s quiet hours are respected; you’ll hear only the occasional hum of a neighbor’s TV in the early morning. Honestly, this place feels like a second home in Rīga, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic, hassle‑free stay with a dash of local charm.

  We absolutely loved our stay at this stunning apartment in the heart of Riga’s Old Town. It’s lively, full of charm, and incredibly beautiful, with a fantastic spirit and vibe that made our time here truly special. The location couldn’t be better—right in the center, with everything just steps away. A memorable stay in a place that captures the soul of the city! Highly recommended!

  I had an amazing experience staying at this apartment. Everything was spotless, well-organized, and fully equipped with everything you might need, from cooking utensils to essentials like shampoo and shower gel. The location couldn’t be better: right in the heart of the Old Town, ideal for exploring all the main sights of Riga on foot.

• Very good – John from United Kingdom – 29 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location and apartment furnishings and size.
  
  What could be improved: Lack of kitchen equipment such as no scissors, no can opener, limited number of cutlery and crockery (we had to wash dishes and spoons between soup and dessert). Spare tea towels, cleaning cloths and a change of towels during the 5 days would have been appreciated.

• Superb – Eileen from Ireland – 25 May 2025 (9/10)

• A beautiful apartment in an excellent location. – Louise from United Kingdom – 16 May 2025 (9/10)

  The space was fabulous. And an excellent location to access the old city.
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately the heating couldn’t be turned off, so the apartment was very hot. I think this was out of control of the owner. But we were offered a different apartment if we wanted to move.
