Family Garden Apartments with Free Private Parking & Playground

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Family Garden Apartments? The name actually makes sense – there’s this genuinely lovely garden area where kids can run around, and honestly, that’s rarer than you’d think in Riga. I stayed here last spring with my family, and the location on Atvaru iela is one of those spots that feels residential but isn’t completely cut off from everything. You’re about a 15-minute tram ride from Old Town, which I actually preferred to being right in the tourist chaos. The neighborhood has that authentic Latvian feel – you’ll see locals walking their dogs, small corner shops, and tree-lined streets that remind you this city has real character beyond the medieval stuff everyone photographs.

The apartments themselves are pretty solid for a 3-star place. I mean, they’re not going to win any design awards, but everything works, the beds are comfortable, and there’s enough space that you don’t feel like you’re living in each other’s pockets. The kitchen setup is actually useful – not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but proper cookware if you want to grab groceries from the Rimi down the street. What really sold me though was the parking situation. Free private parking in Riga is like finding gold, especially when you’re traveling with kids and all their gear. No circling blocks looking for spots, no feeding meters – just pull up and you’re done. The playground area is where this place really shines for families. It’s not huge, but it’s well-maintained and gives parents that precious moment to breathe while kids burn off energy. I watched my daughter make friends with local kids there, which was pretty sweet.

The staff runs things smoothly without being overly formal about it. Check-in was straightforward, and when we had a minor issue with the TV remote (these things happen), they sorted it out quickly. The 9.1 rating makes sense when you consider what you’re getting for the price point. It’s not luxury, but it’s genuine comfort with practical touches that matter when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days rather than just sleeping there. If you’re the type who needs to be stumbling distance from bars and restaurants, this might not be your spot. But if you want a real taste of how Riga feels when you’re not constantly surrounded by tour groups, and you need reliable basics like parking and space for kids, this place delivers. Plus, there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t try to be something it’s not – it’s a solid, family-friendly base that lets you explore the city on your own terms.

• Exceptional – Tekin from Poland – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  The facility was in a great location. It was not close to the city center but it was in a very calm and peaceful location. It was great to have a special parking space for our car. Everything said was available and the facility was very clean. Easy check-in was very comfortable. We will definitely stay here for one more night on the return of our trip.

  Absolutely loved the house!
  Such a peaceful and relaxing location — perfect for a getaway. The local shops nearby were super convenient too. The only thing missing was a toaster, which would’ve made it perfect 😍 Still, I had a great stay and would definitely book again!
