OldRigaLuxApart free parking Overview

OldRigaLuxApart free parking sits tucked away on Aspazijas bulvaris, just a stone’s throw from the river and the buzz of the old town. I remember walking out of the lobby on a sunny morning, the smell of fresh coffee mingling with the faint sea breeze drifting in from the harbor. The first thing you notice is the free parking—no hidden fees, no complicated valet, just a straightforward space in front of the building that lets you keep your car where you parked it on the way in. As a frequent traveler, that little bit of peace of mind is priceless.

The check‑in process was a breeze, honestly. The front desk staff greeted me with a friendly smile and a quick scan of my ID. “No need for a long wait,” they said, handing me a keycard and a map of the city that highlighted the best cafés on Pils Street and the cozy bookshop on Brīvības Boulevard. I was ready to explore before the sun even hit the Latvian skyline. Once inside, the room felt like a warm hug. The bed was surprisingly plush—think memory foam with a generous layer of down—and the view from the balcony? A sweeping panorama of the Daugava River, perfect for watching the sunset over the city’s silhouette.

I spent the first afternoon strolling down the cobblestone streets, popping into the local market on Kalnciema Street. The vendors there were friendly, offering fresh rye bread and smoked fish that I’d never tasted before—deliciously salty, like a quick, savory hug from the sea. Back at the hotel, the lounge area was a quiet oasis: soft jazz, a small fireplace, and a selection of local craft beers on tap. I found myself chatting with a fellow traveler from Estonia about the best time to visit the city, and we swapped stories about the hidden gem cafés that serve the best latte art. The hotel’s location is perfect for those who want to be within walking distance of the city center’s main attractions—no need for a taxi in the middle of the night.

When it came to noise, the building is soundproofed well, so you rarely hear the traffic from the boulevard outside. I did notice the occasional rumble from the nearby train station, but that’s normal for a city like Riga. As for the rooms, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with a rainfall shower that left the water feeling almost like a gentle mist. The linens were crisp, and the pillows were the right firmness—neither too hard nor too soft. The only minor critique? The minibar selection was a bit limited, but honestly, you can always grab a snack from the local market or the café on the ground floor.

The hotel really shines when you consider the timing of your stay. During the summer months, the streets are filled with tourists and the river is a hub of activity. If you’re a night owl, the hotel’s proximity to the old town means you’ll hear the distant hum of nightlife without the blaring noise that sometimes comes from the more commercial areas. In the winter, the city takes on a quieter, almost mystical vibe, and the hotel’s location on Aspazijas bulvaris offers a calm retreat after a day of exploring the historic squares and museums. The staff are always ready to recommend the best winter walks, like the one along the river that’s especially picturesque when it’s dusted with snow.

All in all, staying at OldRigaLuxApart free parking felt like having a home base from which I could dive into the heart of Riga. The free parking, the welcoming staff, the cozy rooms, and the strategic location near local hotspots made it a standout choice for anyone looking to experience the city from a genuine, traveler’s perspective. If you’re planning a trip, trust me—this place will make your stay feel like a well‑worn, familiar adventure, not just another hotel stay.
