Stabu Sēta Residence

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Stabu Sēta Residence – I mean, three stars in Riga’s city center usually means you’re getting the bare minimum. But honestly, this place surprised me in the best way possible. The building itself sits on this quiet stretch of Stabu iela, and while it’s not flashy from the outside, there’s something really charming about how they’ve converted what feels like an old residential building into these apartment-style accommodations.

The location is actually brilliant if you know Riga at all. You’re literally a five-minute walk from the Freedom Monument, and I found myself cutting through Esplanade Park every morning just because I could. What I really loved though was how residential the street feels – you’ve got locals walking their dogs, people heading to work, real life happening around you instead of that touristy bubble you get stuck in sometimes. The tram stops right there too, which became my lifeline for getting around the city without dealing with Old Town’s cobblestones every single day (your feet will thank you). Parking was surprisingly manageable – there’s street parking that doesn’t cost a fortune, and the staff actually gave me decent directions instead of just shrugging like some places do.

The apartments themselves are well… they’re not fancy, but they’re thoughtfully done. Everything feels clean and functional without being sterile, if that makes sense. I stayed in one of the larger units and the kitchen was actually usable – not just a mini-fridge and a hot plate like you usually get. The bathroom was modern enough, good water pressure, and honestly the beds were more comfortable than I expected from a three-star place. What really got me was the little touches – decent coffee in the kitchen, proper hangers in the closet, windows that actually open properly so you can get that fresh Baltic air. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly too, which matters when you’re trying to navigate a new city or catch up on work. I will say the walls aren’t the thickest, so if you’re a light sleeper, maybe pack some earplugs – though honestly, Stabu street is pretty quiet compared to the main drags. The 8.5 rating makes total sense to me because while it’s not luxury, it delivers on what it promises and then some. For the price point, especially if you’re staying more than a couple nights, it beats a cramped hotel room hands down.

Reviews

• Very good – Aleks from Latvia – 7 July 2025 (8/10)

  The breakfast was arranged on short notice (it was not part of the original booking). Quiet location, not in the very centre.
  
  What could be improved: Wished there was a bath in the room. There was only a shower, but it was OK.

• Very good – Karina from United Kingdom – 6 July 2025 (8/10)

  Quiet, location, small closed yard,old style

• Exceptional – Marco from Germany – 29 June 2025 (10/10)

  Staff was friendly, many restaurants and cafes nearby, city center within walking distance

• Very good – Juraj from Slovakia – 28 June 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The receptions was very rude

• Great for short stay. – Anna from United Kingdom – 22 June 2025 (8/10)

  Staying there for the second time! The location is very close to the centre, the price is friendly and the street is quiet.
  Comfy bed, fast Internet.
  Free water on reception.
  Fridge.
  Late check out.
  
  What could be improved: There's a "hair and body shampoo" which is probably just some liquid soap, so you might need to take your own.
  No kettle, would be nice to have it.

• Superb – Philipp from Austria – 21 June 2025 (9/10)

  Very friendly staff and amazing breakfast buffet! The bed was comfortable and the location of the hotel nice!
  
  What could be improved: The room could have been slightly bigger.

• Sweet and comfortable – Johanna from Estonia – 19 June 2025 (8/10)

  Super sweet and compact hotel. The staff was absolutely lovely and super helpful, since the place is small you see the same faces (reception, breakfast and cleaners) all the time when you stay for a longer period and even get to know each other which is really nice in my opinion:) Everything worked perfectly and was really clean. Made it feel like home.
  
  What could be improved: The breakfast was small but had a little bit of everything so overall a nice choice. The gym was a bit worn-out. The only thing that really bothered me, though, were the creeking floors of the corridor so whenever someone walked past you would wake up in your room because it felt like someone was right there.

• Ok for a solo person – Emmy from Hungary – 18 June 2025 (8/10)

  It had a lift and free coffee and water downstairs.It was easy to get to the old town .2 supermarkets just a few minutes away .The bus was very close .The reception was open 24 hrs and they were very friendly and helpful
  
  What could be improved: The room was very small the bed was half a step away from the window

• Glad with the choice – Alisa from United Kingdom – 15 June 2025 (9/10)

  Good looking building inside and out, clean rooms, good breakfast, cosy, lovely design.
  
  What could be improved: It gets very warm in the room, not enough air circulation, air conditioner would help
