Solo apart

Solo apart Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Solo apart on Dzirnavu Street, you might almost miss it — and honestly, that’s part of its charm. This isn’t your typical hotel with a flashy lobby and uniformed staff. Instead, it’s tucked into a residential building in one of Rīga‘s most happening neighborhoods, feeling more like you’re staying at a friend’s place than checking into accommodation. The entrance is understated, but once you’re inside, you realize this setup actually works perfectly for couples who want their own space without the fuss of a traditional hotel.

The Neighborhood Advantage

Here’s what I love about this location — you’re right in the heart of things on Dzirnavu Street, which locals know as one of the best spots to be. You can walk to the Old Town in about ten minutes, but you’re also surrounded by the kind of cafes and bars that actual Riga residents frequent. There’s this great little bakery just down the street that opens early, and honestly, the whole area has this lived-in feel that tourist-heavy zones just don’t have. I mean, couples consistently rate this spot highly for good reason — it’s intimate without being isolated.

Your Space

The apartment setup is what really sets Solo apart from regular hotels. You get your own kitchen, which sounds simple but actually changes everything about how you experience the city. Want to grab fresh ingredients from the Central Market and cook together? You can do that. Need coffee at 6 AM without hunting for an open cafe? No problem. The room itself feels more like a modern Riga flat than hotel accommodation — clean lines, decent natural light, and enough space that you’re not tripping over each other’s luggage.

What Works (And What Doesn’t)

Look, this isn’t a five-star experience, and it doesn’t pretend to be. There’s no concierge, no room service, no fancy amenities. But that’s actually refreshing if you’re the type of travelers who prefer independence over being pampered. The building is quiet — important when you’re trying to sleep off jet lag — and parking is manageable, which anyone who’s driven in Riga’s city center will appreciate. The only thing that might catch some people off guard is how residential it feels, but I think that’s exactly why couples love it here.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests keep mentioning the location, and they’re not wrong — this spot gives you the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to walk everywhere that matters, but far enough from the tourist crowds that you feel like you’re experiencing real Riga. The apartment-style setup means you can actually relax and settle in, rather than feeling like you’re just passing through. It’s particularly great for couples who want to play house in a new city for a few days, cooking breakfast together and wandering back home through quiet streets after dinner. Sometimes the best accommodations are the ones that just get out of your way and let you enjoy where you are.

  Posizione e ben arredata

• Very good – Ilia from Cyprus – 6 November 2023 (8/10)

• Very good – Ieva from Latvia – 27 July 2023 (8/10)

  Viss ok! Ideāla atrašanās vieta – centrs, bet kluss.
  
  What could be improved: Izvelkamais dīvāniņš varēja būt drusku platāks. Kad dīvānu izvelk, var redzēt, ka vidū ieplīsis materiāls.

• Geräumiges Zimmer mit Küchenzeile im Zentrum – Bernd from Germany – 6 January 2023 (7/10)

  Sehr gute zentrale Lage am Rande der Altstadt, nahe den Jugenstilhäusern. Fussläufig von Bahnhof und Busbahnhof zu erreichen.
  Großes geräumiges Zimmer mit Küchenzeile, das leider nur eine Kochplatte hat, aber sonst mit allem ausgestattet ist, was beschrieben wurde. Das dritte (und vierte) Bett ist als ausklappbare Couch akzeptabel. Genügend Sitzmöglichkeiten und ein Esstische vorhanden.
  Das Badezimmer ist sauber und funktional.
  
  What could be improved: Das Zimmer ist mit einem riesigen Flachbild TV ausgestattet, der leider völlig nutzlos ist, weil es keine verständliche Bedienungsanleitung gibt. Es fehlt in dieser Preisklasse jedenfalls ein Toaster!
  Zwei Wäscheständer mit trocknender Wäsche vor den Fenstern waren nicht der Hingucker, taten aber auch nciht weh.

• Exceptional – Olexandr from United Arab Emirates – 4 January 2023 (10/10)

• Very good – Anton from Germany – 2 January 2023 (8/10)

  Sehr gute Lage, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der nähe.
  
  What could be improved: Wenn man eine Küche hat, wäre cool so was wie Tee, Salz, Zucker in kleinen Mengen zu haben. Waren paar Tage da und dafür eine Packung extra Salz zu kaufen, oder ganze Packung Tee macht nicht viel Sinn. Wäre cool wenn so was vorrätig ist, hatte bis her überall gehabt, hier leider nicht.

• Bija labi, bet gribējās lai ir labāk – Rolands from United Kingdom – 14 August 2022 (7/10)

  Patika, tuvu centram, patika pats apartaments
  
  What could be improved: Nepatika spilveni, un nepatika tas ka nevarējām nekadīgi atrast TV kanālus. Visu laiku radīja kodēti, un neko nevarēja vakaros paskatīties

• Sijainti hyvä, muta pikkasen petraamalla huone olisi viihtyisämpi. – Anne from Finland – 5 August 2022 (6/10)

  Sijainti oli erinomainen. Säilytystilaa oli riittävästi, rauhallinen huone, ei meteliä. Siisti huone.
  
  What could be improved: Viestittely asiakkaan kanssa, venäjän kieli. Varasimme huoneen neljälle, mutta nukkumapaikkoja oli vain kolmelle, kapealla vuodesohvalla oli kahden vaikea nukkua, pyyhkeet vain kahdelle/ kolmelle hlölle, Wc-paperia vain 1,5 rullaa, Kattoikkunoista tuli paljon valoa, mikä häiritsi unta. Tv :tä emme saaneet toimimaan. Varustelutaso kauttaaltaan heikohko.

• Exceptional – Nir from Israel – 16 July 2022 (10/10)
