Wooden House near City center

Wooden House near City center Overview

Wooden House near City center sits just a stone’s throw from the cobblestone lanes of Vecrīga, tucked into Nometņu iela 46a. Walking up the street, you’re greeted by the scent of fresh rye bread from a corner bakery and the distant hum of the Old Town market. The check‑in is surprisingly quick—no long queues, just a friendly receptionist who asks if you need a map to the nearby Freedom Monument. Parking is a bit of a hunt; there’s a small street lot a block away, but you’ll need to park in a narrow lane and walk a few more steps. Honestly, the noise from the city is low after 10 pm, so you can drift off to the gentle rustle of the Lielupe river in the distance.

The rooms are cozy, with reclaimed wooden beams that echo the building’s name—no over‑the‑top décor, just practical comforts. The bed feels like a hug: firm sheets, a fluffy duvet, and a tiny, well‑placed bedside lamp that doesn’t glare. In the morning, the breakfast spread is a local favorite: rye bread, smoked fish, and a pot of strong Latvian coffee that wakes you up even before the alarm rings. The staff knows the best cafés—there’s a tiny espresso place on Kalnciema Street that serves the city’s best latte, and a bakery on a nearby corner where you can grab a fresh baked rye cake with your coffee. The Wi‑Fi is solid, and the TV shows a few local channels if you want to catch a Latvian football match. Parking for this one is free on the street during weekdays, but you’ll need to move your car in the evenings to avoid the parking tickets that pop up on the corner of Nometņu and Brīvības streets.

If you’re a traveler who loves the buzz of a city but still wants a quiet place to unwind, this spot hits the mark. The hotel’s location means you can stroll to the Freedom Monument by foot, then hop on a tram to the Riga Central Market where locals trade fresh fish and vegetables. In the summer, the streets buzz with tourists, but the hotel’s windows offer a calm view of the river, so you can read a book without a traffic jam in sight. In winter, the area is a bit quieter; the streetlights cast a soft glow on the frost‑kissed cobbles. The only small gripe—if you’re an early riser, the elevator can be a bit slow, so you might want to walk up the stairs. But overall, I’d say this place is a relaxed, comfortable base for exploring Rīga, with the kind of local touch that makes you feel like you’re staying in a friend’s house rather than a hotel.

  Two apartments located in a beautiful house surrounded by beautiful garden with a parking space. Our stay was on the ground floor with a sunny terrace where we ate breakfast and played board games. A bright kitchen, fully equipped for a group of friends or family. Two bathrooms with a bathtub and a shower was very comfortable solution. There is also a hot tub for 6 people available on site.
