Studio Apartment in the Heart of Riga Old Town

Studio Apartment in the Heart of Riga Old Town Overview

Studio Apartment in the Heart of Riga Old Town—I’ve actually stayed there twice, once in the heat of summer and once when the city was all snow and Christmas lights. The moment you step out of the cobblestoned Kungu iela, you’re in the middle of the old city’s rhythm: the clatter of bikes, the hiss of steam from the old bakery, the scent of freshly baked rye bread wafting from the corner café. I remember the first night, the apartment’s single room was surprisingly bright. The walls are painted in soft, muted tones that make the space feel airy even though it’s only about 25 square meters. The bed’s mattress is a bit firm—so if you’re used to a cloud, it can feel like a quick 3‑hour nap, but the linens are crisp and the sheets feel like a gentle hug.

Check‑in was a breeze, though the front desk clerk did take a little longer than I expected because of a mix‑up with the key fob. “It’s a common thing,” she said, and that’s a good sign that the staff is just human. The studio actually comes with a small kitchenette—perfect if you want to whip up a quick omelet after a day of sightseeing. There’s a tiny fridge, a single burner, and a coffee maker that works like a charm. I love that the kettle whistles loudly, almost like a metronome for the morning routine. The bathroom is compact, but the shower is surprisingly deep and the water pressure is solid. The only downside is the noise from the street during rush hour; you hear the city’s heartbeat through the walls, which can be a bit jarring if you’re a light sleeper. If you’re staying during the summer, the windows are openable, so you can let in the cool breeze without the traffic chirp.

Parking is a bit of a quest. There’s no dedicated spot for the studio, so I had to head to a nearby street parking lot on Lielais Boulevard. It’s a bit of a walk, but the streets are lined with old brick buildings that give you that old‑world vibe. I found a spot maybe 10 minutes from the building, and the meter was a bit pricey—so bring cash or your card. The locals usually park on the street during the day, but in the evenings it’s a bit of a scramble. When I stayed during peak tourist season (late June to early August), the apartment felt cozy but a little cramped as the city was buzzing. In November, the city takes a calmer breath, and it’s easier to hear the distant church bells. Honestly, if you’re looking for a place that feels like you’re part of Riga’s everyday life, this studio does that right. It’s not a luxury resort, but it’s authentic, and that’s what makes it unforgettable.

• Superb – Laura from United States – 13 November 2024 (9/10)

  The location was great – close to everything, a lovely building. Maybe it's important to note (for us it didn't really matter), but right across the street was a night club, so it can get noisy some nights. Plus the host offered ear plugs for free!

• Exceptional – Gabrielė from Lithuania – 30 April 2024 (10/10)

  The price-quality ratio is excellent compared to other viewed options. It was clean, the place is quiet on weekdays, I think it would be loud on the weekend, because there is a nightclub under the windows, but everything is taken care of by the tenant – earplugs are left on the bed. 🙂 We were admitted to the apartment earlier, the tenant communicates perfectly. All necessary dishes are available. Everything suited us and we liked it, the price corresponds to the service.
