Dandelion Apartments Brīvības

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Dandelion Apartments Brīvības? The name makes it sound like some quirky boutique place, but honestly, this is proper accommodation that just happens to sit right in the heart of Old Riga without screaming about it. I mean, you’re literally on Brīvības iela – which locals just call “the main drag” – so you can stumble out the front door and be at the Freedom Monument in maybe three minutes if you walk fast.

The thing is, most places on this street are either crazy expensive hotels or sketchy Soviet-era leftovers, but Dandelion actually gets the balance right. The apartments themselves feel like someone’s stylish cousin designed them – clean lines, decent kitchenettes that you’ll actually use, and these big windows that let in all that northern light (trust me, you’ll appreciate this during the darker months). What really sold me though was the little details nobody talks about in reviews. The shower pressure is actually decent, the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every ten minutes, and – this might sound weird – but the hallways don’t smell like old carpet and cleaning products like so many apartment hotels do.

The location thing is sort of perfect if you think about it. You’re close enough to the Old Town that you can walk to Dome Square or the House of the Blackheads without planning your whole day around it, but far enough from the medieval tourist chaos that you won’t hear drunk stag parties singing at 2 AM. Plus, if you need groceries or want to grab coffee that doesn’t cost a fortune, there’s this little cluster of local spots just down toward the river that most visitors never find. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle – I mean, it’s central Riga, so what do you expect – but the staff actually knows which streets have free spots after 6 PM, which is more helpful than you’d think. The 9.4 rating isn’t just review inflation either; these guys clearly figured out that small things matter more than flashy lobbies. Check-in was smooth, the place stays quiet even though you’re on a busy street (good windows, I guess), and honestly, by day three it felt less like a hotel and more like borrowing a friend’s well-appointed apartment in the perfect neighborhood.

• Exceptional – Despo from Georgia – 18 December 2024 (10/10)

  We had an amazing stay in this apartment with our group of 10 friends! The host went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. They provided clear and detailed instructions for Check-In and Check-Out, which made the process incredibly smooth.
  
  The location of the apartment was ideal, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself was spacious and perfectly suited for a larger group like ours. The rooms were thoughtfully distributed, and the large living area made our stay very comfortable.
  
  We were especially impressed with the host’s attention to detail—there was even a city guide prepared for us, which helped us make the most of our trip. We truly appreciated the warm hospitality and care shown to us.
  
  We highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Riga!
