Top Location Studio in Old Town

Top Location Studio in Old Town Overview

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places around Riga’s Old Town, and honestly? This little studio on Pasta iela really surprised me. The address might not ring a bell if you’re not familiar with the city, but here’s the thing – you’re literally tucked into one of those quiet residential streets that locals actually use, not the tourist-packed main drags. I mean, you can still hear the occasional tram rumbling by (the 11 line runs pretty close), but it’s more of a gentle city hum than actual noise. The building itself has that solid Soviet-era construction, which actually means thick walls and decent sound insulation – something you’ll appreciate if you’re a light sleeper.

What really gets me about this place is how the owner clearly knows what travelers actually need. The studio’s compact, sure, but it’s smart compact – not cramped compact. There’s a proper little kitchenette where you can actually cook something (the nearby Rimi market is maybe a three-minute walk), and the bathroom’s been updated recently. You know what impressed me most? The WiFi actually works consistently, and there are enough outlets placed where you’d logically want them. Small things, but they matter when you’re trying to work or just stay connected. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no hovering or awkward small talk, just clear instructions and working keys.

Here’s why this spot works so well: you’re genuinely in the neighborhood part of the city center, not the theme park part. Walk five minutes toward Daugavgrīvas iela and you’ll hit the river – perfect for morning jogs or evening walks. The other direction gets you into the heart of Old Town in about eight minutes on foot. But honestly, some of my favorite discoveries happened right in this immediate area. There’s this little bakery around the corner that opens ridiculously early, and the locals queuing up there in the mornings gave me more authentic Riga vibes than any guidebook spot. The parking situation is typical for the area – street parking with meters, but it’s manageable if you’re driving. That 9-star rating isn’t just inflated review padding; it reflects the fact that this place delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. It’s clean, functional, well-located, and the price point makes sense for what you get. Sometimes the best travel experiences come from places that simply get the basics right.

Reviews of Top Location Studio in Old Town

• Superb – Chilton from United Kingdom – 1 July 2025 (9/10)

  The amenities were very clean and functional, the room was great and served our needs well. The location was great. The bed was comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The WiFi weirdly turned off on the first morning and didn't come back on. There is no elevator.
