Hotel Mezaparks

Hotel Mezaparks Overview

Hotel Mezaparks sits on a quiet side street just off the bustling R. Feldmaņa iela, right near the old town’s cobblestones. I first spotted it on a rainy afternoon, the building’s brick façade a warm contrast to the grey drizzle that usually coats Riga. It’s a three‑star spot, but the real charm comes from the way the locals treat it like a hidden gem. You’ll notice the small café on the ground floor—locals call it the “Coffee Corner”—and it’s the perfect place to grab a latte and a slice of rye bread before you even step into the lobby.

The check‑in process was surprisingly smooth. The front desk was manned by a young woman who spoke a mix of Latvian and English, and she had a quick, friendly smile that made you feel like an old friend. They handed you a keycard that glowed faintly in the dim hallway, and the staff even offered a complimentary map of the city with handwritten notes pointing out the best bike routes. I appreciated that because, honestly, navigating Riga can be a bit disorienting if you’re not used to the grid of streets. The parking is a bit of a treasure hunt, though—there’s a small underground lot behind the hotel, but you’ll need to walk a couple of blocks to reach the main entrance, so if you’re driving, keep an eye on the distance. But once you’re inside, the rooms are clean and modern, with a touch of local décor that feels more like a home than a hotel. The bed was surprisingly comfy for a 3‑star, and the small balcony in my room had a view of the city’s old church steeples, which is a nice, quiet backdrop for a late‑night coffee.

I spent most of my stay exploring the nearby streets. Just a block away, there’s the old market square with vendors selling everything from fresh fish to handmade woolen scarves—perfect for a quick lunch. And if you’re craving something sweet, the bakery on R. Feldmaņa iela is a must‑visit; their rye bread rolls have a crust that’s just the right crunch. The hotel’s proximity to the river means you can stroll along the water’s edge and watch the locals fish or skateboard. I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the hotel is, even in the early morning when the city is still waking up. The only noise that intrudes is the distant hum of traffic from the main road, but it’s far enough away that you can still enjoy the sound of birds or the clink of coffee cups from the café.

One thing I noticed, though, was the lack of a 24‑hour front desk. I had a late‑night check‑out the first night, and it was a bit of a hassle—though the staff were friendly, they did ask for a bit more patience. Also, the Wi‑Fi signal can be a bit spotty in the hallway, so if you’re a digital nomad, you might want to plan your work around that. But for a relaxed weekend, those small inconveniences are easily overlooked. The staff were genuinely helpful, offering tips about the best times to visit the nearby art galleries and how to avoid the busiest tourist spots during peak season. And if you’re staying during the summer, the hotel’s courtyard is a quiet oasis where you can sit with a cold drink and watch the city’s life unfold at a slower pace.

Overall, Hotel Mezaparks feels like a local’s recommendation tucked into a city’s rhythm. It’s not flashy, but it’s functional, clean, and genuinely comfortable. If you’re looking for a place that doesn’t feel like a generic tourist trap but still offers all the practicalities you need, this is the spot. Just remember to check the parking and the Wi‑Fi, and you’ll be set for a cozy, authentic stay in Riga.

Riga’s apartments offer spacious accommodations with Art Nouveau charm, perfect for families wanting to experience daily life in this historically significant Baltic capital.

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

• 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
