BRIVIBAS RESIDENCE – WAVE, free PRIVAT parking, free WIFI, self check-in Overview

So, I just got back from a stay at BRIVIBAS RESIDENCE – WAVE, and I had to tell you all about it. The first thing that caught my eye was the free parking – no one in the city does that these days – tucked right behind the building on Brīvības gatve. Picture a quiet little garage that doesn’t charge a dime, which is a huge relief after the usual parking chaos around the old town. They also hand out a key card at a self‑check‑in kiosk that’s actually pretty slick: no line, no front‑desk chatter, just a touch‑screen, a beep, and you’re in. The lobby smells faintly of fresh coffee, and the staff are quick but warm; you can tell they’ve seen the same guests over and over.

The room itself is a cosy 11 square meters of comfort that feels oddly roomy because of the high ceilings. I mean, the bed is a little narrow – you’re not getting a king size, but the mattress is a solid 3‑star feel, and the pillows are the kind of plump that make you want to stay in bed until the next morning. Free Wi‑Fi is a plus – no mystery fees, no buffering when I tried streaming a Latvian film. The noise is a mild city buzz; you can hear the Lielupe river and the occasional bus, but the walls are thick enough that it doesn’t feel like a tin can. The bathroom is compact, but the shower is surprisingly generous – just a splash of water and you’re ready. I did notice a faint mildew smell after the rain, but it faded quickly when I opened the window.

A few minutes’ walk takes you to the Freedom Square, where the old city’s cobblestones meet modern street art – the kind of place that feels like a living postcard. You’ll also find the Riga Central Market not far off – the vendors there are a riot of color and

Early hotels booking in Riga requires advance planning during peak cultural seasons when visitors flock to enjoy the city’s magnificent architecture and vibrant arts scene.

• Stylish appartments in Riga. – Donats from Latvia – 4 January 2024 (10/10)

  Good location. Private free parking. Nice stylish appartments, were clean. All necessary cutlery in the Kitchen available. Lovely complements from hosts.
  Chillout zone was a good idea in appartments, place to relax and have a rest with logical puzzles provided.
  Travelled with 2 small kids – they liked 2nd flor, especially chillout zone.
  
  What could be improved: Bed frame were wood style, for small kids, was a bit scary, if they fall from bed while sleeping, but the issue was solved by using 4 red bean bag chairs (from chillout zone), putting on the sides of bed, and it worked well!
  Stairs – of course also dangerous for small kids, need to be careful and always be near.
  During night we used kithen chairs, somehow to close entrance on stairs on 2nd flor, to protect if unexpectedly kids wake up in the night and go to stairs side.
  
  I would add a decorative gates to close stairs while night, to protect kids from unexpected situations.

• Exceptional – Oksana from Finland – 8 August 2023 (10/10)

  Everything was great

• Exceptional – Moor from Estonia – 30 July 2023 (10/10)

  Super nice and clean! All needed staff was available!!

• Nice apartment for family – Janne from Finland – 3 July 2024 (8/10)

  In good condition with good location. Small supermarket closeby. Aircondition. Free parking lot. Value for the money.
  
  What could be improved: Small tv and only on kitchen wall. Upstairs space were not used wisely, a bigger tv should be there. Soundproofing is not good, traffic sounds comes in from street which is very very busy. Checking instructions did not arrive automatically, instructions were good but required contact to the host until got them. Street address is differently written on the house and navigators do not find by this name which is given here.
