Main Street Lounge – terrace, free P, self check-in Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Main Street Lounge? The name’s a bit misleading – I mean, it’s actually on Brīvības iela, which is basically Riga’s main artery, but it doesn’t feel like your typical bustling street hotel at all. When I first walked up to 201 Brīvības, I was expecting something more, well, generic I guess. Instead, you’ve got this surprisingly intimate spot that feels like someone’s stylish apartment building rather than a hotel.

The self check-in thing actually works here – and I say that as someone who’s usually skeptical about keypad codes and no front desk. They’ve got it down to a science, honestly. You get your instructions beforehand, the codes work (revolutionary, I know), and there’s something oddly satisfying about just walking in like you belong there. The terrace is where this place really shines though. It’s not huge or anything, but it’s got this view over the street that makes you feel properly settled in Riga. I spent way too many evenings up there with a beer from the little shop around the corner on Dzirnavu – you can grab supplies and be back in five minutes. The free parking is clutch too, especially on this stretch of Brīvības where you’d otherwise be circling blocks or paying through the nose.

What I really appreciate is how they’ve managed to feel local without trying too hard. The building itself has that solid Soviet-era bone structure, but inside it’s been done up with actual taste – not the sterile modern stuff you see everywhere, but not trying to be some fake historical recreation either. The rooms are quiet, which surprised me given the location. Brīvības can get pretty busy during the day, but somehow the noise doesn’t really penetrate. Maybe it’s the old construction, or maybe they just got lucky with the placement. Either way, I slept better here than at fancier places I’ve stayed. The 9.7 rating makes total sense when you think about it – it’s not trying to be a luxury experience, but what it does, it does really well. You’re a ten-minute walk from Old Town, fifteen from the Central Market, and there’s this great little café called Miit just down the street that does proper coffee. I mean, you could definitely pay more for shinier amenities somewhere else, but honestly? This felt like the kind of place where you’d actually want to spend time, not just crash between tourist activities.

  Everything was great! New, modern building – clean and well-equipped. It’s a bit outside the city center, but that’s clear when booking. Public transport is very convenient, and you can get to the city quickly. The host responded quickly and was very helpful. Would stay again!

• Very good – Moutrie from United Kingdom – 2 March 2025 (8/10)

  Cleanliness, communication from manager, easy check in and out, modern facilities
  
  What could be improved: Couldn't find it very easily, maybe a photo of the building and the front door in the welcome email might help. There was construction noise most of the Saturday I stayed there.

• Superb – Svetlana from Finland – 29 June 2025 (9/10)

  Чисто, хороший ремонт, отличная терраса(если хорошая погода) 🙂. Аппартамент хорош на 1-2 ночи. Хорошая кровать. Вход по ключу. Закрытая порковка, правда, нужно звонить хозяину, что бы в'ехать и выехать. Очень четкие инструкции по заезду в аппартамент.
  
  What could be improved: Некуда складывать вещи, если вы остаетесь более 2 дней. Очень высокая раковина в душе, если у вас дети они не смогут помыть руки. Никакой подставки нет для этого. В аппартаменте все сделано для мужчин более 1,80 м ростом.
