Brivibas Center Apartments

Hotel Description

So I’ve stayed at Brivibas Center Apartments a few times now, and honestly, it’s one of those places that grows on you. The building itself sits right on Brīvības iela – which, if you don’t know Riga, is basically the main artery running through the city center. You’re literally in the thick of things, but here’s the thing about being on a busy street in Riga: the windows are actually pretty decent at keeping the noise out, though I’d still pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

What I really like about this place is that it feels more like borrowing someone’s apartment than staying in a hotel. The apartments are properly equipped – I mean, you’ve got a real kitchen with a proper fridge and stove, not those sad little hotel kitchenettes. Perfect if you want to grab groceries from the Rimi down the street and actually cook something decent. The décor is… well, it’s functional rather than Instagram-worthy, but everything works and it’s clean. The shower pressure is surprisingly good too, which honestly matters more than fancy throw pillows when you’ve been walking around Old Town all day.

Location-wise, you’re about a ten-minute walk from the Freedom Monument, and the whole Old Town is right there. But what’s really convenient is that you’re also close to the more local parts of the city – there’s this great little café called Miit just around the corner that most tourists never find, and the Central Market is an easy walk when you want to see how locals actually shop. The trams run right outside, so getting to places like the Art Nouveau district or even out to the beach at Jūrmala is pretty straightforward. Parking can be a bit of a headache during the day (it’s metered street parking mostly), but evenings and weekends aren’t too bad if you’re willing to walk a block or two.

The staff are… well, they’re efficient. Not overly chatty, but they know their stuff and speak good English. Check-in was smooth both times I’ve been there, and when I had an issue with the WiFi once, they sorted it out pretty quickly. The 7.6 rating seems about right to me – it’s not luxury by any means, but for a three-star place, it delivers on what matters. You get space, a real kitchen, and you’re right in the center of things without paying Old Town prices. I mean, you could definitely find prettier places or newer places, but for the money and the location, it’s hard to beat if you want to actually live in the city for a few days rather than just pass through it.

Reviews

• I loved stay in this property, amazing host ,good location,everything what you need to stay short t – Virginija from United Kingdom – 18 January 2025 (9/10)

  Location excellent

• Good price per value – great area – Anta from United Kingdom – 6 January 2025 (7/10)

  It's a good price per value stay especially in winter. The home was very warm. Lot's of space, big living room, kitchen area to hang out. Standard areas had been well cleaned before our arrival. There was a comfortable amount of kitchen plates, pots etc. Basic necessities like dish soap, loo-roll, soap were there. Hosts very kindly provided an extra key upon request, as we found that our group had slightly clashing routines. Location is excellent and in a good area. You're close enough to walk to old town, but far enough for it to be quiet at night. The area has lots of trendy cafes and wine bars around.
  
  What could be improved: The place needs TLC from wear and tare of previous travelers and a deep clean of odd spaces like washing machine drawer. Bathroom also had some mold. I'd say that the rest had been well cleaned, but the amount of little things broken/dinged/taped here and there made it feel a bit grubby even though it was clean.

• We liked it! – Konstantin76567567 from Russia – 23 July 2022 (9/10)

  Perfect location! We've rented 2 bd apartment, so we have 3 isolated bid sized rooms! 2 toilet rooms. This is not often offer.
  Clean, comfortable, very good. Perfect view. We like all!
  
  For everyone: better to park in nearest Europarking, in right side of the building: 2 EU night + 6 EU day. Look it on Europarking app and pay in app for this price. Pay in cash will more expensive.
  
  What could be improved: Not dishwasher machine. But this is not great confuse.
  Loud from street. Whom how.

  Good location, very convenient for supermarkets, restaurants and buses. Close to many attractions and train station. Lovely big rooms with high ceilings. The kitchen was quite well equipped.
  
  What could be improved: There were quite a few little things that needed attention – 1 kitchen drawer front fell off and the toilet door handle felt loose. Some of the window blinds were broken or missing and the curtains were flimsy.. The bed was very creaky and very soft. Needed a toaster
