Urban Oasis

Urban Oasis Overview

You know what really caught me off guard about Urban Oasis? The name actually makes sense – and I mean that in the best way possible. I was expecting some generic marketing nonsense, but walking into this place on Tērbatas iela, there’s genuinely this calm, almost zen-like feeling that hits you right away. The lobby’s got these warm wood tones and soft lighting that immediately makes you forget you’re literally steps away from one of Riga’s busiest streets. Honestly, the soundproofing is incredible – I was worried about traffic noise since Tērbatas can get pretty hectic, especially during rush hour, but once you’re inside? Nothing.

The location is actually perfect if you know Riga at all. You’re basically equidistant from Old Town and the Art Nouveau district, which means you can walk to Berga Bazārs for coffee in the morning and still make it to the Freedom Monument for sunset photos without breaking a sweat. Plus – and this is something most hotels in this area can’t offer – there’s actually decent parking nearby. Not cheap, mind you, but available, which if you’ve ever tried to park in central Riga, you know is basically a miracle. The staff seems to really get that visitors aren’t just here for the typical tourist stuff either. They pointed me toward this little Georgian restaurant on nearby Blaumaņa iela that I never would’ve found otherwise, and well, let’s just say I ended up eating there three times during my stay.

What really sets this place apart though is the attention to those little things that actually matter when you’re traveling. The Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes (shocking, I know), the shower pressure is exactly what you hope for after a long day of walking on cobblestones, and the beds are firm enough that you don’t feel like you’re sinking into quicksand. I mean, it’s a 3-star place, so don’t expect a spa or fancy restaurant, but they’ve clearly put thought into making sure everything they do have works properly. The rooms are clean in that “actually clean” way, not just “looks clean from a distance” way, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. Check-in was smooth too – no weird deposit holds or surprise fees, just straightforward and friendly service. If you’re looking for somewhere to crash that won’t drain your budget but also won’t make you question your life choices, this is honestly one of the better options in the area. That 9.6 rating isn’t just people being nice – it’s earned.

Reviews of Urban Oasis

• Loved this place – Vaiva from Lithuania – 3 July 2025 (10/10)

  The interior of the flat was absolutely stunning. I especially loved the beautiful tiled stoves — they added so much charm. We found everything we needed: an iron, an ironing board, spices, tea, coffee, and more. Communication with the host was smooth and effortless. This was truly one of the best places I’ve ever stayed.
  
  What could be improved: I loved everything.

• Superb, stylish spacious apartment in a great location. The place to stay in Riga! – Clare from United Kingdom – 5 June 2025 (10/10)

  The photos don’t do this stylish, comfortable apartment justice. Great location in the centre for shops, restaurants and history. A lovely bathroom, kitchen, lounge, amazing space for 2 people.
  
  What could be improved: No complaints, It was really great on every level.

• Best apartment in Riga! – Markéta from Czech Republic – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  It was well equipped, nicely decorated and very user friendly. It had everything.
  
  What could be improved: We’d welcome more light in the apartment, but it didn’t matter in the end. We were outside all the time.

• Excellent place to stay with a great host. – Haz from Malaysia – 17 April 2025 (9/10)

• Excellent location, wonderful apartment – Anda from Belgium – 2 April 2025 (9/10)

  The space was wonderful – very spacious and functional, and it had everything I needed for my stay. And it is beautiful itself, the fireplace/ heating element was a piece of art.
  The location is excellent – you have everything you need nearby.
  
  What could be improved: If I was super duper picky, I'd say my feet were a bit cold, so I suggest maybe bringing some slippers or thicker socks.

• Excellent apartment – Tanas from United Kingdom – 11 July 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent apartment, very spacious and in a great location with convenient access to all major attractions. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary utensils. The self check-in and check-out process was very convenient, and the host was very responsive and helpful

• Very nice apartment in the great part of Riga – Alexey from Finland – 7 July 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment is located in a beautiful part of Riga, with amazing architecture and at a walking distance from the Old Town. The streets around are full of cafes and places to eat for all tastes. The inner yard by the entrance is cosy and creates a discrete private feeling, a rare find in the busy city. The apartment is very special, with tall ceilings, massive wooden doors, etc, cosy and clean.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment is a bit dark, but in the hot summer it is more of a bonus
