MIRO Rooms French – quiet chic, free private parking

MIRO Rooms French – quiet chic, free private parking Overview

MIRO Rooms French sits on Rūpniecības iela, right near the old city walls and the bustling Bastejkalna Street where you can snag a latte at a pop‑up café that serves the best cold brew in Riga. I arrived around 3 pm on a Sunday, and the first thing I noticed was the quiet hum of the street—no rush of traffic, just a few cars and a couple of scooters gliding past. The building itself is a neat, low‑rise block that feels more like a modern apartment building than a hotel, but the lobby has this cool, airy vibe with exposed brick and a few potted plants that smell faintly of citrus. The check‑in was quick; the front desk was a single counter with a friendly staff member who handed me a keycard and a map of the city that was actually super helpful because I was planning to hit the Old Town early that morning.

The rooms are a surprise. They’re small—around 18 square meters—but the décor is clean and sharp, with a monochrome palette that gives the place a “quiet chic” feel you’d expect in a trendy neighborhood. The bed is a solid platform with crisp white linens; I slept pretty well, not a single whiff of hotel perfume. The bathroom is surprisingly spacious, the shower has a nice pressure, and there’s a decent amount of storage space if you’re lugging a few bags. The touch of French minimalism in the décor (think simple, tasteful painting on the wall) gives it a subtle class without feeling pretentious. I did notice that the windows overlook a narrow alley, so if you’re a light sleeper and the city’s nightlife starts early, it can be a bit noisy around midnight—though honestly, the traffic outside is quiet enough that you’ll be more awake than you think.

Parking is a huge plus in this part of Riga. The hotel offers free private parking, and the spot is right beside the building—no need to circle the block for hours finding a spot. I parked my car at 2 pm, and it was still there at 10 pm after a day of exploring the Latvian National Opera and a quick visit to the art gallery on Jāņa Džalga Street. The parking lot is well lit, and the staff has a system of numbers so you never lose your spot. When I returned, the keycard still worked like a charm. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the small reception desk—it’s really tiny, and you have to wait a few minutes to get the keycard if it’s a busy afternoon. But overall, the experience was smooth, the staff were helpful, and the price point is very reasonable for a 3‑star in the city center. If you’re planning a trip to Riga and want a place that feels like a home base, not a hotel, MIRO Rooms French is a solid choice. Its quiet streets, easy parking, and stylish rooms make it a spot that locals would actually stay at.

Hotels near me in Riga offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Riga Cathedral, House of the Blackheads, and the famous Art Nouveau district.
