St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about St. Peter’s Boutique Hotel? It’s tucked away on this quiet stretch of Peldu iela, just far enough from the main tourist chaos but close enough that you can actually walk everywhere that matters in Old Town. I mean, you’re literally a five-minute stroll from the Cathedral and all those winding cobblestone streets, but when you come back at night, it’s refreshingly peaceful – no drunk groups stumbling around at 2 AM like you get closer to the bars on Kalķu iela.

The building itself has that understated elegance thing going on – it’s not trying too hard to be Instagram-perfect, which honestly makes it feel more authentic. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star place, nothing groundbreaking but thoughtfully done. The beds are actually comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms have decent water pressure, which can be hit or miss in some of these older Riga buildings. What I really appreciated were the little touches – like they stock local Latvian toiletries instead of generic hotel stuff, and the minibar has some local craft beer alongside the usual overpriced snacks. The staff seemed genuinely helpful rather than just going through the motions, and check-in was smooth even though I arrived earlier than expected on a busy summer weekend.

Here’s the thing about the location that the hotel websites don’t really capture – you’re positioned perfectly to experience Riga like someone who lives here, not just a tourist hitting the obvious spots. There’s this excellent little market hall (Centrāltirgus) about a 10-minute walk away where locals actually shop, and you can grab fresh bread and cheese for way less than hotel breakfast prices. The tram stop on Audēju iela is super close if you want to venture out to some of the newer districts, but honestly, most days you’ll probably just walk everywhere in the Old Town. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving – there’s no hotel garage, but there are public spots nearby, just expect to pay tourist prices. The only minor downside I noticed was that some rooms facing the street can get a bit noisy during morning rush hour, but it’s not terrible and quiets down quickly. Overall, it’s one of those places that gets the balance right – comfortable without being stuffy, local without being too boutique-y, and priced fairly for what you get in a city where accommodation costs can vary wildly depending on the season.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Elizaveta from Germany – 7 July 2025 (10/10)

• Very good place – Sulev from Estonia – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  Perfect location, nice room, very good breakfast!

• 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.

• A real gem in the heart of Riga – Abigail from Ireland – 20 June 2025 (9/10)

  Great location right in old town but on a nice quiet street. Spacious rooms with tasteful decor , friendly staff and delicious breakfast.

• 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.

• Value for money! 👌👌 – Jill from Philippines – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  Helpful staff. Good brrakfast. Clean room & facilities. Almost at the square. Highly recommended.

• Great location! Fab stay – Stephen from United Kingdom – 2 June 2025 (9/10)

  Great location on the edge of the Old Town with all main tourist spots within walking distance. Handy for the bus stop too for the airport. Spacious clean room. The hotel is on the same street as Ala Pagrabs which is a fantastic restaurant and live music place…a must try.
  
  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!
