— The hotel
Two bedroom / Old town with private terrace
First Impressions
Two bedroom / Old town with private terrace sits right in the heart of Riga’s historic center on Peitavas street — and honestly, the location alone makes this place worth considering. This three-star apartment feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a typical hotel, which is exactly what some travelers are looking for. The building itself has that classic European charm you’d expect in Riga‘s old town, though don’t expect anything too fancy.
The Space Itself
What you’re getting here is a proper two-bedroom setup with — and this is the real selling point — your own private terrace. I mean, having outdoor space in the middle of old town is pretty rare, so you can actually sit outside with your morning coffee and watch the city wake up. The kitchen is functional enough if you want to grab groceries from the nearby Rimi and cook something simple, though honestly, with all the great restaurants around, you might not use it much.
Location Perks
Here’s what locals know: Peitavas street puts you within walking distance of basically everything that matters in Riga. You’re maybe five minutes from the Town Hall Square, and the Christmas market (if you’re visiting in winter) is right there. The Daugava riverfront is close enough for evening walks, and you know what — you can actually walk to most of the main sights without needing public transport.
The Neighborhood Reality
Being in old town means cobblestone streets and some tourist crowds during peak season, but Peitavas isn’t one of the main thoroughfares, so it’s quieter than you’d expect. There’s a decent mix of locals and visitors in this area, which gives it a more authentic feel than some parts of the historic center. Parking can be tricky if you’re driving — old town streets weren’t exactly designed for cars, so factor that in.
Why Guests Love It
The 7.8 rating makes sense when you consider what this place actually offers. It’s not trying to be a luxury experience — it’s giving you a comfortable base with that terrace bonus and a genuinely great location. The room setup works well for families or friends traveling together, and having two bedrooms means you’re not all cramped into one space. Sure, the building shows its age in places, but that’s part of the old town charm, isn’t it?
Riga’s apartments welcome long stays with rooftop terraces over red-tile roofs, museum access, and bike routes to Kalnciema courtyards.
