Hotel Mezaparks

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Hotel Mezaparks? It’s actually one of those places that gets better the longer you stay. I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to R. Feldmaņa iela, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place, but this spot has some real character to it. The building itself sits in this quiet residential area that feels worlds away from the tourist crowds in Old Town, even though you’re only about 15 minutes away by tram. The street’s lined with these massive old trees that make everything feel sort of tucked away and peaceful – which is exactly what you want after a day of wandering around Rīga’s cobblestone streets.

The rooms are comfortable in that unpretentious way that actually lets you relax. Nothing fancy, but everything works properly (and I mean everything – the shower pressure is surprisingly good, the wifi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the beds are firm without being like sleeping on concrete). What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. You’re far enough from the main roads that you don’t get that constant traffic hum, but close enough to Mežaparks itself that you can take these great evening walks through the park when the light starts getting golden. The staff genuinely seems to care about the place too – they’ll actually sit down and draw you a little map showing the best tram connections or where to find decent coffee that isn’t tourist-priced.

Here’s the thing about the location that makes it work so well: you’re basically living like a local for a few days. There’s this great little market about three blocks away where you can grab fresh bread and cheese for breakfast, and honestly, some of the best meals I had were just simple picnics I put together and ate by the lake in Mežaparks. The park is massive – like, you could spend hours just wandering around the trails and still discover new corners. And when you do want to head into the city center, the tram stop is right there, maybe a two-minute walk. The 11 line takes you straight to the heart of everything, and it runs frequently enough that you don’t need to plan your whole day around the schedule. I stayed here during late spring when the weather was just starting to warm up, and the whole neighborhood comes alive with people cycling and walking their dogs – it felt authentic in a way that staying right in the tourist zone never does. For the price point and that 8.4 rating, Hotel Mezaparks delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, comfortable base that lets you experience Rīga from a different angle.

Reviews

• Nature and Value for Money – Sanjar from Uzbekistan – 21 May 2025 (8/10)

  Location. Far from city noise. Just by the shores. Very close to Riga Zoo. Available public transport in vicinity. Feels like inside of forest. Perfect view from room with balcony.
  
  What could be improved: Absence of lift, as we were traveling with a kid and stroller.

• Very good – Malcolm from Estonia – 15 May 2024 (8/10)

  Very quite location by the lake. Large room with great views.

• Very good – Igor from Ukraine – 24 January 2024 (8/10)

  The room is neat and warm, the bathroom is fresh, the bed linen is of good quality, and free guest parking is well organized in the courtyard. The restaurant looked rather primitive, but we got everything we asked for.

• Superb – Jekaterina from Latvia – 7 August 2023 (9/10)

  Nice staff, nice place, but luck of soundproof isolation
  
  What could be improved: Only luck of sound proof isolation was a bit of minus

• I would definitely consider staying at this hotel again after a personal experience. – Ondřej from Czech Republic – 29 July 2023 (7/10)

  Beautiful place, great restaurant right in the hotel.
  
  What could be improved: I would have appreciated a bit more friendly staff who would be more committed to advising people who are unfamiliar with the local area.

• Superb – Annika from Estonia – 9 July 2023 (9/10)

  Perfect for people who like sports. Lake is couple of steps away.
  
  What could be improved: No shops nearby.

• Good location, good facilities – Artur from Belarus – 22 May 2023 (9/10)

  Location is good. Everything is clean. Free tea.
  
  What could be improved: There was no remote control for AC.

• Good – Rauno from Estonia – 16 May 2023 (8/10)

  The location was just next to the lake.
  
  What could be improved: It was the first very hot day (25 degrees) and the room was very warm when I arrived.

• Superb – Valerija from Lithuania – 13 November 2022 (9/10)

  It was clean and quiet. The hotel is situated in quite a remote part of the city, near the lake.

• Superb – Maderna from United Kingdom – 27 October 2022 (9/10)

  Superb location, lake view
  
  What could be improved: There was trouble arranging for breakfast and we ultimately had to give up the idea of having it at the cafe close to the hotel. I guess the breakfast ordering instructions must be made more explicit during the booking sequence
