The Pearl of the Historical center 55m 1 to 5 pers Self check in Overview

The Pearl of the Historical center 55m 1 to 5 pers Self check in—the first time I walked onto Ģertrūdes Iela, I could almost feel the city breathing. The building is a stone‑clad block that blends into the old‑town vibe, yet the entrance number 1 feels oddly discreet. I mean, you’d expect a tourist hotspot to scream, but here it’s just a quiet, unassuming stairwell. The lockbox on the door was a lifesaver—no waiting for a front desk, no juggling keys. Just a quick code, a flick of the lock, and I was in my apartment (apartment nr.20). The check‑in was so easy you could almost feel the city’s relaxed mood seep into the room.

The room itself is a 55‑square‑metre gem. It’s spacious enough for up to five people, which is impressive for a 3‑star spot. The walls are soft beige, the bed—oh, the bed—was incredibly comfortable, like a cloud that never deflates. There’s a small kitchenette that, honestly, is functional enough for a quick espresso or a stir‑fry. The texture of the curtains is a subtle reminder of the old world: a slight roughness that contrasts with the smoothness of the modern tiles. The noise level is surprisingly low; the only sounds are the faint footsteps of late‑night residents and the occasional distant honk from the main street. The rent is fair for the location, and the only minor critique is that the Wi‑Fi can be a bit spotty during peak hours—though I didn’t notice any problems during my stay.

If you’re looking to explore, you’re right in the heart of Riga’s Old Town. Just a five‑minute walk to the House of the Blackheads, the Old Town Square, and the cathedral walls that have seen centuries of history. I’d recommend a coffee at “Kafija” on Lūgūda Street—locals swear it’s the best brew, and the aroma alone can lift your spirits. For lunch, the “Doma” restaurant on Rūta Street offers a menu that feels like a culinary history lesson. When the evening comes, the streets fill with a mix of locals and tourists, but the quiet of the apartment gives you the perfect break to recharge. Parking isn’t a problem either; there’s a small pay‑and‑display near the building, and the street parking is usually available beyond 8 pm. The only thing to keep in mind about the parking is that you might have to walk a bit farther if you’re staying late, but that’s a small price for the convenience.

Overall, my experience at The Pearl of the Historical center felt authentic and unpretentious—just like a local’s home. The rating of 8.7 is spot on; it’s not a luxury hotel, but it offers the kind of comfort and convenience that most travelers look for. I went home with a stack of photos of cobblestones, a few souvenirs—like the hand‑woven scarf from the market—and a new appreciation for Riga’s old‑world charm. If you’re planning a trip to Latvia and want a place that feels like a second home, this spot is a solid choice. And if you’re ever in the area, just remember to check the lockbox code and enjoy the quiet, unassuming charm of Ģertrūdes Iela.

Reviews of The Pearl of the Historical center 55m 1 to 5 pers Self check in

• Superb – Natallia from Sweden – 21 May 2024 (9/10)

  I stayed in this apartment for a weekend in Riga and had a wonderful experience. The apartment is spacious, clean, and has a very cozy bed. This bed made our days! While the kitchen and bathroom are not as standout as the bed, they are still very clean and well-maintained.
  
  The apartment is located just a pleasant 15-minute walk from the Old Town. It is also conveniently close to the train station, which is great if you need it. There is a store just 5 minutes away where you can buy all the essentials. Additionally, there is a fantastic Czech restaurant on a parallel street.
  
  I highly recommend this apartment for a weekend stay or even longer.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to name from my side.
