The Benjamin House
Kr. Barona iela 12, Riga, LV-1050, Letònia
Welcome to The Benjamin House, a historic building just a short 400 metre walk from Riga Old Town and right next to the peaceful Vērmane Garden. The building once belonged to the famous Latvian press queen Emilija Benjamina and her husband in the 1920s-1930s, and it still carries the atmosphere and elegance of that era, inspired by Florence Renaissance architecture. Today, the historic character of the house is thoughtfully blended with avantguardista styles and contemporary art, creating a space where past and present meet. The Benjamin House is not only a boutique-hotel but also a cultural venue that hosts a variety of events, including concerts, theatre performances, conferences, weddings and many other gatherings. Historically, the house itself was always intended as a place for hosting events and bringing people together, and today we continue that tradition. Within the house you will also find The Benjamin House Bar, open from Wednesday to Saturday, where guests and locals can enjoy drinks in a relaxed historic setting. Our allotjament offers 60 rooms where classic interior elements mix with innovador comfort, including air conditioning and Smart TVs. Guests can also stay in the special suite where Emilija Benjamina herself once lived, offering a unique connection to the building’s past. The Benjamin House operates as a self check in mansió with no on site reception. Guests receive their access instructions in advance and can check in independently at any time. Communication with our team is mainly done through messages or phone calls whenever assistance is needed. We look forward to welcoming you to a place where history, culture and de disseny comfort come together in the heart of Riga.

Comentaris dels clients sobre The Benjamin House
"Un hotel molt bonic i tranquil, a uns 15 minuts del centre històric."
"Aucun."
"Ubicació perfecta, comfort perfecte en un palau que és una meravella de visitar els seus salons."
"No hi ha personal per atendre els clients. No hi ha servei d'esmorzar"
"Very good location in old and respectable building with unique history. Renovated in high quality level, but some time ago. Large rooms and bathrooms (with bathtub). Comfortable beds. Good enough breakfast. Very good evening bar cocktails! Good sound proofing (taking into account tram near building). Automatic check-in/out worked without problems."
"A bit weared out and missing some technical attitude to equipment (dripping shower mixer, broken telephone in bathroom (but who needs it nowadays?! It will be better to remove at all than stay as dark dot in beautiful bathroom), loose el.socket, hardly movable curtain (1 from totally 5)). So - nothing fundamental, but - 9/10 points for stay is impossible to grant... PS. Evening cocktails were amazing, but no snacks at all... Bartender only told that this specific evening is exception, but sad."
"The venue felt very historical, like stepping into an episode of Bridgerton. I would say that this place is unique and has a very personal vibe. The room was clean, and the area was not loud, even though it is in the city centre. There was no parking included, but there is city parking next to the hotel, which is free from 20:00 to 08:00. If you decide to stay at this place, the bar is a must-visit — it has a great vibe, great cocktails, and a wonderful atmosphere."
"Breakfast was awful — we couldn’t even eat the eggs because of the taste and smell. We were expecting something fresher and more in line with the atmosphere of the place."
"The stay was very good, comfortable. Great location. I was worried that the lack of staff might be a problem, but I was well supported from a distance. The palace where the hotel is located is charming and I recommend choosing Benjamin House for stays like mine (about a week): you can breathe in the atmosphere of the most historic Latvia."
"The room, large and comfortable, is not bright, small windows."
"perfect Location and nice place to stay! easy to access"
"Aucun."
"The location is fantastic. It was easy to find the keys without the reception area. The building itself is really nice. The room size is OK. The furniture is old but serves its purpose."
"It would be good to see some staff of the hotel but actually it didn't bother me that much. The room should be properly cleaned if you stay for more than 3 nights. It was a bit cold even with the radiators switched on. The grit should be used at the entrance as it was slippery and I nearly fell over twice, although wearing proper winter boots. I stayed at this hotel in March 2019 and it was completely different then. Live and vivid atmosphere, fantastic breakfasts, the staff at the reception but now the standards obviously have dropped down. That's a shame really."
"It's the most beautiful building and we're so happy we stayed here! The breakfast is amazing, staff very friendly and helpful. Check in is automated with key codes however it was very easy! If you want something different to a standard modern hotel, this is for you."
"I think it is due a little updating as there are some scuff marks on the walls and the heating worked well but is fairly old. This isn't a brand new modern hotel but it is quirky, different and completely charming. Great location and value for money."
"Benjamin House is a wonderful place to stay in Riga, especially if location matters to you. It’s perfectly situated right in the center, next to a beautiful park, which makes it ideal both for sightseeing and for relaxing walks. The hotel itself is set in a historic building that’s truly stunning — it has a charming, elegant atmosphere that makes your stay feel a bit special. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and well equipped with everything you might need, so it’s comfortable whether you’re staying for a short visit or longer. One of the highlights is the open bar on weekends. It’s beautifully set up, serves very good drinks, and creates a lively, welcoming vibe. If you’re lucky, you might even catch one of their special events or parties, which are fun and add a unique touch to the overall experience."
"As a small downside, you can see that some parts of the rooms are a bit worn out, but everything is well maintained, properly fixed where needed, and still very clean."
"Gorgeous hotel. Lovely breakfast. Great location."
"Aucun."

Arkadiusz Worker hotel ALEJPARKS
"Very cute camping. Quiet neighborhood. There is a kids' playground pretty much next to the place, so with kids definitely a plus."
"Very clean and tiny. Easy to access the rooms. It only a short distance from town, so it's very quiet and tranquil."
Zee Birzītes 5
"Everything was awesome! The host was kind and always responded quickly to our questions. The apartment was cozy and clean, so it truly felt like home. The location was also perfect, close to gyms, supermarkets, the university, and the bus station."

"A proper modern european apartment to spend one or few nights. Extremely well equipped and clean. Contactless key collection, washing machine and iron, hair dryer, etc. We even found some tea. Very nice indeed."
Tadas Brēžas apartamenti
"Excellent location. Very well equipped. Nice, large bathroom. And we were greeted with champagne! In addition, the host is very responsive and quick to get in touch. Great place for up to 3 people! There were four of us and we stayed there for over a week, most nights just two or three of us slept there. The couple nights though, when all four of us slept in the accommodation, became very cramped, but the host warned us about it, although a few nights are not a big problem. In any case, I would not recommend to take this apartment longer for a night or two, if you are 4 people, and all of you plan to actually sleep there, and good night sleep is what you are seeking for - otherwise - one of the finest choices to explore Valmiera to the fullest! :)"
"Cozy little apartment with everything you need for your stay. Super comfy bed, great pillows, soft linens and sheets. Big private parking."
Elina Brēžas
"I loved everything about this place, location is perfect, if you're traveling by train or autobus 10-15 mins walk maximum. You don't have to worry about groceries, small mini-mart is 3 mins walk away with everything you may need, If you arrive late and the mini mart is closed,you can always grab something to eat at Circle-K gas station open 24hrs. If your stay is short and you want to explore Valmiera, you may have to come again, because once you enter the apartment, you won't want to go outside. It's so nice and cozy and equipped with everything. On my stay I didn't go outside once. I highly recommend this place."
