Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pērlīte, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (above the 3rd floor) to minimize potential street noise from Hika iela. Although the hotel has a lift, it's not specified if it's a quiet one, so avoiding rooms near the lift might be a good idea. Given the 3-star rating, it's likely the rooms are equipped with modern, soundproofing measures, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift or service entrance might be noisier due to increased foot traffic. If you're a light sleeper, consider avoiding these areas.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on a side street doesn't offer any notable views of the surrounding area. Expect a view of the surrounding buildings or the hotel's interior courtyard.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation from the street.
🔊 Noise notes
As Hika iela is a relatively quiet street, street noise shouldn't be a major concern. However, the hotel's location near the city center means you may hear some distant noise from passing traffic or nearby bars.
Insider tips
When checking in, arrive early to explore the nearby Old Town, which is within walking distance. Liepāja's historic center offers a charming atmosphere and a glimpse into the city's past. If you're driving, be aware that parking might be limited in the surrounding area. Consider parking in one of the nearby parking lots and walking to the hotel instead.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Cietokšņa iela stop (0.5 km from airport terminal) → Rīgas iela stop (2-min walk from Hotel Amrita)
💡 Buy a e-ticket via the Mobilly app to avoid exact change. The stop sign says ‘Cietokšņa iela’ — the airport itself lacks a proper bus stop sign, so walk out to the main road.
Liepāja Railway Station (Stacijas laukums 1) → Vladimiri station (suburb south of city; bus connection to airport)
💡 This only makes sense if you’re already near the train station. The tiny Vladimiri stop has no ticket machine — buy a return ticket at Liepāja station to avoid a fine. For the airport, alight at Vladimiri then take bus 2 or taxi (€4).
Liepāja International Airport (LPX) → Hotel Amrita (Rīgas iela 24)
💡 Book ahead with Baltic Taxi (+371 29 300 000) for a fixed price. Drivers rarely speak English, so have the hotel address written down.
Hotel Amrita (Rīgas iela 24) → Liepāja city centre, beaches, or railway station
💡 Use the Bolt app — it’s cheaper than flagging a taxi. For trips to Ņikernieki beach (east side), set the drop-off at ‘Pludmale 5’ to avoid getting dropped at the wrong blue-flag spot.
