Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Virkas muiža, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
For a quieter stay, request a room on the top floor (2nd floor) as it's away from the lift and service entrance, which are located on the ground floor. The top floor rooms also have a better chance of receiving natural light, and the hotel's roof is flat, so there's no penthouse floor to block the view.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor, especially those near the lift and service entrance, as they may be noisier due to foot traffic and potential noise from the bar (if it's located near the service entrance).
Best views
Given the hotel's address on Virkas iela, rooms on the front side (facing the street) may have a view of the surrounding area, but it's unlikely to be a scenic or particularly interesting view, as the street is a relatively quiet residential road.
Quietest floors
The 2nd floor is likely the quietest, as it's above the main activity areas and farthest from the lift and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is minimal on Virkas iela, as it's a local road. However, you may hear some noise from the nearby service entrance and lift, especially if you're on the ground floor or in a room near the lift.

1. If you're driving, note that there's likely on-street parking available on Virkas iela, but be mindful of any parking restrictions or time limits. 2. Check-in is likely handled at the front desk, and it's a good idea to ask about any local attractions or recommendations from the staff, as they may have insider knowledge on the best places to visit in Kuldīga.

Money & Currency

Use ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at Rīga Airport and tourist offices near Pilsētas laukums, which charge high fees.
Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted in supermarkets, hotels, and most restaurants; contactless is common. Carry cash for smaller cafés, market stalls, and public WC.
Rounding up the bill or leaving 5-10% in restaurants is appreciated but not required; taxi drivers and hotel staff don't expect tips, though rounding up is fine.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget

The old town has a few stalls selling pelēkie zirņi with speck (grey peas with bacon) and other Latvian snacks; the small market near the brick bridge has local pies and pastries.
Supernetto and Rimi are the main budget supermarket chains in Kuldīga.
Check the small second-hand shops along Baznīcas iela for cheap finds; new high-street clothing is limited—Rīga is better for variety.
Walking is the cheapest way around LV-3301 as the area is compact. From Rīga Airport, take bus 22 to Rīga central bus station (€1.15), then a direct bus to Kuldīga (approx €9).
Eat lunch out instead of dinner for lower prices; buy snacks and water at a supermarket rather than cafés; visit late spring or early autumn for cheaper accommodation and fewer crowds.
