St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel

St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel Overview

St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel sits tucked in a quiet corner of Peldu iela, a stone’s throw from the bustling pedestrian zone of Lielā iela and just a five‑minute walk to the old town’s cobblestones. The first thing you notice, honestly, is the little wrought‑iron gate that looks like it belongs in a period film – a subtle nod to Riga’s heritage. Inside, the lobby is a mix of mid‑century furniture and contemporary art pieces that feel like they were chosen by someone who grew up in this city. I mean, the vibe is laid back but polished, not the sterile hotel lobby you see in big chain properties.

Check‑in is pretty smooth; the front desk staff greet you with a friendly smile that makes you feel like a regular, even if you’re a first‑timer. They offer a quick briefing on the building’s quirks: the elevator is a bit slow, so you might want to take the stairs if you’re carrying luggage – but the views from the 5th floor are worth it. Parking is on the street, so in the summer you’ll have to look for a spot in the block; in winter, the city’s well‑maintained snow removal usually keeps the lanes clear, but a quick detour to the parking garage on Pārdaugava can save you a few minutes.

The room itself is a cozy retreat. The bed is overstuffed with memory foam, and the linens feel like a soft cloud – you could lie there all day, especially after a city walk that leaves your feet aching. I love the little touches: a small French press in the minibar, a stack of local magazines, and a kettle that boils water in under a minute. The bathroom is clean, with a rain shower that has a pretty decent water pressure, and a small set of luxury bath products that actually do work – the coconut-scented soap is a personal favorite. I’d say the noise level is excellent; you can hear the city’s hum from the window but the building’s insulation keeps the night quiet. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll appreciate the blackout curtains that block out the street lights.

When you step outside, you’re right in the heart of the city. Just a couple of blocks away is the famous Rātslaukums square, where you can grab a coffee at the tiny café on Jūrmala Street and watch the locals do their morning routine. I often walk to the historic Old Town – it’s a half‑hour stroll – and the cobblestones are surprisingly smooth, especially after the city’s recent resurfacing project. The local market on Bastejkalns street is a sensory overload: the smell of fresh rye bread, the chatter of vendors, and the bright display of local cheeses. If you’re keen on nightlife, there’s a hidden bar on Spīlkalna street that serves craft gin cocktails; the bartender knows the difference between a classic and a twist.

The hotel’s service is a highlight. The concierge will recommend the best spots for a casual dinner – I swear the local bistro on Līvu Street serves the best pierogi in Riga – and they’re always ready with an extra key or a spare charger if you need it. They even know the exact timing for the city’s summer festivals; the best seats for the Riga Music Festival are just a short walk away. The only small critique I have is that the Wi-Fi is fine during the day but can be spotty at night, but that’s a minor inconvenience that doesn’t detract from the overall experience.

All in all, St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel feels like a home away from home, with the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and a touch of local charm. Whether you’re planning to explore the historic streets, attend a music festival, or just unwind after a long day, this place has something for everyone. If you’re looking for a place that feels authentically Riga, I’d say this is the spot to stay.

• Perfect! – Vivian from Australia – 1 July 2025 (10/10)

  Not only were the staff super helpful and friendly, but we loved our room. Big windows, a huge comfy bed, couch, tea kettle, good bath that even had a tub! Big flatscreen tv with lots of English speaking channels. And it was extremely handy for the no 22 bus to/from the airport. Easy walking distance to the attractions, bars, restaurants etc. Wished we had another night!

• One of the absolute highlights of my trip to the Baltics! – Melissa from United States – 30 June 2025 (10/10)

  St. Peter's Hotel – from arrival to departure – was an absolute delight. The hotel itself is beautiful and unique. The people at the front desk and serving breakfast were fully committed to providing a special experience. Breakfast was carefully and thoughtfully presented, and it was delicious! I have a gluten allergy and was provided gluten free bread with no problem. There were plenty of options for me to eat. I requested a quiet room and was given a beautiful courtyard facing room – loved it! This hotel is family owned and run. It's clearly a labor of love! The location is great – just a short walk to Old Town, and very close to both the central bus station and market.
  
  What could be improved: I loved this hotel. Period.

• Wonderful stay in the heart of the old town – Zane from United Kingdom – 12 June 2025 (9/10)

  Location perfect, price wonderful, staff friendly and helpful, suite nice and spacious.
  
  What could be improved: Lack of ramp to access front door from outside and the heavy wooden front door. Saying that I do know it’s an old building and they can’t change it. We would stay again regardless.

  What could be improved: No negative comments.

• Superb – Isabel from Germany – 29 May 2025 (9/10)

  We loved everything. The decor of the room (we had a suite) had character. The cellar where breakfast is served shows the history of the building. Breakfast was humble but it was everything we needed and we appreciated that they rotated dishes. Definitely recommend!
