Stylish Studio Apartment in the Heart of Riga

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The moment I walked up to 19 Peldu iela, I realized I was basically in the middle of everything that matters in Riga’s Old Town, but somehow on this quiet little street that feels like a local secret. I mean, you’re literally a two-minute walk from the Town Hall Square, but without all the tourist chaos right outside your window.

The studio itself is exactly what you’d hope for when someone says “stylish” – clean lines, smart use of space, and honestly, whoever designed it actually gets how people live in small spaces. The kitchen area flows into the living space without feeling cramped, and there’s this nice attention to detail with the lighting that makes evening feel cozy rather than cramped. What I really appreciated was the soundproofing – Peldu iela isn’t a busy street, but Old Town can get lively (especially weekend nights), and I slept surprisingly well. The bathroom’s compact but well-designed, with a proper shower that actually has good water pressure, which… let’s be honest, isn’t always a given in older European buildings.

Here’s the thing about the location that really matters: you’re close enough to walk to Doma laukums for morning coffee, but far enough from the main tourist drag that you can actually find decent grocery stores and normal-priced restaurants. There’s this little bakery about three blocks away that locals actually use – not the tourist-trap stuff. Parking can be tricky if you’ve got a car (most of the Old Town is pedestrian-heavy), but the public transport connections are solid, and honestly, you’ll probably end up walking everywhere anyway. The building itself feels secure and well-maintained, which matters when you’re staying somewhere solo. Check-in was smooth – none of that awkward hunting around for keys or vague directions that sometimes happens with apartment rentals. The 8.9 rating makes sense to me; it’s not flashy or over-the-top, but everything works the way it should, and the space feels thoughtfully put together rather than just functional. If you’re the type who wants to experience Riga like you actually live there for a few days, rather than just passing through, this hits that sweet spot perfectly.

Reviews

• Beautiful apartment in a great location. – Natalie from United Kingdom – 3 June 2025 (10/10)

  A stunning apartment in a great location to explore.

• For the Young and Young at Heart – Maria from United States – 10 May 2025 (10/10)

  Spacious, well lit, well appointed, great location, quiet, comfortable. Everything we needed or wanted to see in Old Town was less than 6 minutes walking distance away. Bus station was 10 minutes away (walking), the train station just 15 minutes away (again, walking). Great food and atmosphere at Piga across the street and Ala underneath! Christoffer is a fantastic host. We contacted him twice during our stay, and he responded immediately. I would definitely choose this place to stay again.

• A perfect apartment in a perfect location – Richard from Australia – 17 April 2025 (10/10)

  We spent 5 nights in the apartment and loved it. The design, decor and fittings are fab and the location is perfect: 5 minute walk to the main square and tourist info office in the old town, right next door to the best pub in Riga (Folkklubs) and a short stroll to the bus station and central markets

• Exceptional – Salvija from Lithuania – 10 April 2025 (10/10)

  Very nice studio flat! Everything clean , nice and comfortable! Good location 😌

• Perfect! – Emily from United Kingdom – 27 February 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment was perfect I was worried it would be cold and it wasn’t, heating was also easy to use and very quick.
  The location was perfect, so central and a great area to stay too.
  Clear instructions in the manual too.
  
  What could be improved: It’s really picky, but there were no hand towels and I messaged the host about a couple of things beforehand and he did not respond, only sent us instructions. Tea/coffee and milk would’ve been a nice touch for when you get there.

• Beaut little apartment – Gemma from United Kingdom – 17 February 2025 (10/10)

  This apartment is stunning. Easy to find and access, good clear instructions from the host. The apartment itself is a good size with everything needed for a city break. Clean and tidy. Comfy bed. The location is perfect, close to the old town. Highly recommend!
  
  What could be improved: No dislikes.

  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike.

• Lovely apartment right next to everything – Rebecca from Ireland – 7 August 2024 (10/10)

  Great location, modern, comfortable and clean
  
  What could be improved: Would prefer if there was more than one towel per person however I’m sure if I had messages the owners they would have gotten us more but we weren’t very bothered about it so we left it

• Exceptional – James from United Kingdom – 29 June 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is beautiful with all amenities needed for a great stay. The location could not be better or more local, no more than 5mins walk to all major spots. Easy to access from the airport bus route. Sincerely 10/10.
  
  What could be improved: A few small touches like tea/coffee on arrival just to be able to make drinks on a morning easily. A fan/small aircon unit as it apartment did get warm during my stay but it was summer and I still slept well as big windows help at night. Very much a small detail for a perfect place.
