Hotel BEST with FREE PARKING

Hotel BEST with FREE PARKING Overview

Hotel BEST with FREE PARKING sits on Ģimnastikas iela 9/11, right where the old city’s cobblestones give way to the modern pulse of Riga’s downtown. I remember pulling into the street on a rainy Tuesday, the kind of day that makes you appreciate the convenience of a parking spot that’s literally next to your door. No long walk through the rain, no fussing with public transport schedules—just a quick turn into the small driveway, a breath of fresh air, and you’re in. The staff at the front desk were already sipping their morning coffee when I walked in, and they had my key ready almost before I could say “check‑in.” They’re efficient but not robotic; a quick nod and a friendly “I’ll be right back” is all it takes to get you sorted.

The rooms are the sort of cozy, functional space that makes you feel like you’re staying in a well‑maintained apartment rather than a hotel—though you do get that little luxury of not having to hunt for a Wi‑Fi password. The bed is a solid, comfortable thing, and the curtains are thick enough that the late‑night traffic on the street below doesn’t bleed into your sleep (though the occasional rumble of a passing truck still cracks the silence). I found the bathroom a bit on the small side, but for a 3‑star place with a decent rating of 8, it’s not a deal‑breaker. Honestly, the only thing I’d tweak is the light in the hallway; a brighter fixture would make a big difference when you’re trying to get out at 6 a.m. on a business trip. The minibar is stocked with local rye crackers and a nice selection of Latvian dairy, which is a sweet touch that feels, well, local. I also appreciated the small, handwritten note on the desk that listed the best cafés within a ten‑minute walk—something a tourist guide would probably suggest.

If you’re planning to explore, the hotel’s address gives you instant access to a few of Riga’s hidden gems. Just a two‑block stroll brings you to the Freedom Bridge, where the view of the Daugava River is a perfect backdrop for a sunset photo. On Mondays, there’s a live jazz session at the café on Pils Street, a little off the beaten path but worth the detour. I’ve also heard that the bakery on Baložu Street, a stone’s throw away, offers the best rye bread in town—just let me know, and I’ll send you the address. The noise level around the hotel is pretty moderate; the occasional late‑night traffic makes a low thump, but overall it’s a quiet enough environment that you can actually hear the wind in the trees if you’re lying on your balcony. At peak season, the area definitely gets busier—locals and tourists alike crowd the cafés, but it’s a lively, authentic vibe that adds to the city’s charm. And if you’re a night owl, the hotel’s parking remains free even after midnight, which is a small but huge win. All in all, if you’re looking for a place that feels like a home base in Riga, with the sweet surprise of free parking and a few local insider tips, this is a solid pick.

Riga hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in Latvia’s cultural capital, known for its remarkable Art Nouveau architecture and medieval heritage.

• Great place, staff will learn on some point… – Ernests from United Kingdom – 28 April 2025 (8/10)

  Comfortable location, free carpark, reasonable breakfast, amazing quality of restaurant food, best cook ever! Bar tender became our friend in one week!
  
  What could be improved: Very thin walls and some team members unprofessional… In the first evening we had a knock at the door at 9:30 pm and rudely been told that we were talking too loud(no music, no tv, just two people talking)… She said that we r too loud and we are disturbing customers… when I said that we are customers too, was rude answer, stop talking…🤔🤔🤔🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ We did stop, but it wasn't nice at all… But overall, would stay again!

• Good deal for the money. Place is set right. Gas station’s just around the corner suits me fine. – Lvmaris from Latvia – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

  1) Breakfast is quite standard. Can't complain. But much better than just buffet.
  2) The room’s got that old-school charm. Feels like you checked into a real-deal '70s hotel wood-paneled walls, heavy doors, and an actual key in your hand, not some plastic card.
  3) Parking lot was packed. First thing that crossed my mind : place must be really popular with travelers. Saw a quiet, well-lit street next door. Parked there. Easy enough. No complaints.
  
  What could be improved: No hairdryer. Not like I didn’t see that coming.

• Good – Dexter from Latvia – 9 April 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The bathroom is run down a little
