Unique Spacious Classic 3 bedroom Midtown Apartment ! BILLIARD room !

Hotel Description

Okay, so I’ll be honest – when I first saw this listing with “BILLIARD room!” in all caps, I was expecting some tourist trap situation. But this place on Bruņinieku iela actually surprised me in the best way possible. It’s tucked into one of those classic Riga buildings that somehow survived everything the city’s been through, and walking up those old wooden stairs, you can practically feel the history in the creaking floorboards.

The apartment itself is genuinely spacious – and I mean actually spacious, not “European spacious” where you’re bumping into furniture. Three proper bedrooms that don’t feel cramped, which is honestly rare in Riga’s city center. The billiard room (yes, it’s real) is this quirky addition that makes the whole place feel more like staying at a friend’s place than a rental. I spent way too many evenings there with a beer from the corner shop downstairs. The kitchen’s well-stocked too – you know how some places give you one fork and call it furnished? Not here. You can actually cook a proper meal, which comes in handy since there’s a fantastic little market just a few blocks down on Krasta iela where locals shop.

What really sold me on this neighborhood though is how it sits right in that sweet spot between tourist central and actual Riga life. You’re close enough to walk to Old Town when you want those Instagram shots, but far enough that you’re not dealing with bachelor parties stumbling past your windows at 3 AM. The tram stop is literally around the corner – line 11 will get you anywhere you need to go, and honestly, riding Riga’s trams is half the experience anyway. There’s this little café called Melnā Kaķe about ten minutes’ walk away that serves the kind of coffee that makes you understand why locals are so particular about their brewing methods. The owner speaks perfect English but pretends not to until you attempt some broken Latvian – it’s become sort of a game. Parking can be a bit tricky during weekdays (street parking fills up fast with office workers), but evenings and weekends are totally manageable. The building’s pretty quiet too – thick walls, respectful neighbors, that sort of thing. Just don’t expect luxury hotel amenities; this is more about authentic comfort and having enough space to actually relax. The 8.8 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting a legitimate three-bedroom in central Riga with character and quirks that actually enhance the experience rather than detract from it.

Reviews

• Great Stay, large apartment – Deb from United Kingdom – 16 May 2025 (10/10)

  Good Communication. Large property. The Snooker table was a nice addition but it does mean you dont have a lounge area but we did sit around the snooker table so it was fine. All you could need – store 2 min walk away and a nice wine bar across the road. Would recommend.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• A beautiful historic building with lots of space – Thierry from Netherlands – 4 August 2024 (10/10)

  We had so much space. It was nice to be able to spread out. The pool table was fun, and it is very close to public transportation. The TV in one of the bedrooms/living space was enormous. It was nice to watch movies on such a large and clear TV. The building was built in 1908, so it has some amazing details, including a double doorway with 2 doors back to back to enter. That really helped with the soundproofing. Beautiful stain glassed windows as well.
  
  What could be improved: No air-conditioning, but there were small fans available that helped. We were very happy with the room.

• Very good – Yaxi from Germany – 21 July 2024 (8/10)

• Our weekend getaway – Gitana from United Kingdom – 19 June 2024 (10/10)

  I recently stayed at this apartment, and it was fantastic. The location is prime, with easy access to attractions and public transport. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, clean, and well-equipped with modern amenities. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was quiet and relaxing. The management team was friendly, helpful, and responsive, making the stay even more enjoyable. Overall, it is a great value for money and highly recommended!

• Absolutely fantastic, this will always be the first place I look for when I visit Riga. – Alison from United Kingdom – 14 April 2024 (10/10)

  Codes were provided and communication was excellent. They really went out of their way to make things easy for us. The codes were also easy to remember.

• Great stay, in a great apartment and suited us perfectly. Would book again! – Kairen from United Kingdom – 5 January 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was very big and well equipped, the pool table was a big hit. All the rooms were comfy and well furnished. Kitchen had everything you would need. We received very detailed instructions regarding keys etc and host was very helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Although we enjoyed the Pool Table there isnt any lounge area to sit in apart from the dining room, this wasnt an issue for us but if you were planning on spending more time at the apartment it might be.
  We booked this apartment to be near our daughter but it is a fair walk into the old town although the taxis are good price. The entranc area is a bit dark so might not suit everybody.

• Recomend 100% – Rimvydas from Lithuania – 3 January 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Very good. We come later – Yaxi from Germany – 13 July 2024 (8/10)

• Hea asupaik, parkimine ja tore korter. – Marili from Estonia – 13 May 2025 (10/10)

  Hea asupaik. Riia keskturuni 20 min jalutada. Bolt takso kuuele, vanalinna sõites oli 7-9 eur.
  Väga head voodid. Köögis kõik olemas.
  Meie parkisime 2 autoga. Päev enne saabumist tulid selged juhised.
  Piljardilaud pakkus väga toredat ajaviidet.
  Meil oli natu jahe aga see mõistetav, sest Mai kuus oli väljas vaevalt +5 kraadi ning keskküte oli väljas. Aga seda ei saanud korteri omanik muuta.
