Riga's accommodation section spans 3 curated guides holding 22 verified entries between them. The where-to-stay guide and the hostels guide each carry 10 entries. The boutique guide sits at 2. That puts 2 of the 3 guides at equal depth, both covering the broad categories a Riga visitor typically sorts through first. The boutique guide's 2 entries narrow the field quickly for travelers who already know that's their category.
Start with the where-to-stay guide if you haven't settled on a lodging style for Riga yet. Its 10 entries cover the broadest range of the 3 guides. Mind you, the hostels guide matches it at 10 entries, so travelers focused on budget or communal stays have equally researched ground to cover. The boutique guide's 2 entries are best opened last, once you've decided that's the direction. All 3 guides reflect editorial curation. The entry counts measure our selection, not Riga's total market.
