Studio Apartment in the Heart of Riga Old Town

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much from another “studio in Old Town” listing, but this little place on Kungu iela actually surprised me. The location is honestly perfect – you’re literally steps away from the Town Hall Square, but tucked just far enough down the street that you don’t get the constant tourist foot traffic noise. I mean, you’ll still hear some chatter from the cobblestones below (it’s medieval streets, what do you expect?), but it’s more charming than annoying, especially if you close the windows at night.

The studio itself feels way more spacious than most places squeezed into these old buildings. Someone clearly put thought into the layout – the kitchen area doesn’t feel cramped against the sleeping space, and there’s actually room to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The bathroom is compact but well-designed, though the shower pressure could be better (pretty standard for older buildings in Riga’s center, honestly). What I really appreciated was how clean everything was, and the bed is genuinely comfortable – not one of those rock-hard European mattresses that leave you aching. The heating works well too, which matters more than you’d think during those Baltic winters.

Here’s the thing about staying right on Kungu iela – you’re about a two-minute walk from Dome Cathedral and maybe five minutes from the best coffee spot in the area (there’s this little place called Miit that locals actually go to, not just tourists). The grocery store is practically around the corner, which is clutch if you want to grab breakfast stuff or wine for the evening. Parking is tricky, as it is everywhere in Old Town, but there’s a public garage about a block away that’s not too expensive by city center standards. The check-in was smooth – they actually met me at the apartment instead of making me hunt down some office, which saved time. Overall, it’s one of those places that just works without any drama, and for the price point in this part of Riga, that 8.7 rating makes total sense. If you want to be in the thick of things without paying hotel prices, this is a solid choice.

  The location is very good, in the old town. The building is new ane clean. The apartment is modern, well equipped, very clean and comfortable. It also feels very safe.

• 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.
