— The hotel
S22 rrlux free parking
First Impressions
S22 rrlux free parking is one of those places that immediately makes sense when you see it. Located on Stirnu iela in a quieter residential area of Riga, this three-star property feels more like a well-kept secret than a typical hotel. The building has that solid, no-nonsense Baltic architecture, and honestly, the name says it all — they’re clearly proud of that free parking, which is actually a big deal in this city.
The Neighborhood
What I really appreciate about this location is how authentically Latvian it feels. You’re not in the tourist bubble of Old Town, but you’re not stuck in the middle of nowhere either. The surrounding streets are lined with those characteristic wooden houses that Riga is famous for, and there’s a genuine neighborhood vibe here. You know what’s great? You can actually walk to the center in about 15-20 minutes, or catch public transport easily — but you get to come back to this peaceful residential area at night.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in was surprisingly well thought out for a three-star place. Everything felt fresh and modern, with good lighting and a comfortable bed that didn’t leave me tossing and turning. The bathroom was compact but efficient — typical European style, really. What impressed me most was how quiet everything was, despite being reasonably close to the city center. I mean, you hear the occasional car, but nothing that’ll keep you awake.
Practical Perks
That free parking thing isn’t just marketing speak — it’s actually a proper parking area, and if you’ve ever tried to park in central Riga, you’ll understand why this matters so much. The staff here are genuinely helpful too, not in that over-the-top way, but they’ll actually give you useful directions and recommendations. There’s also a small restaurant area, though I’d probably describe it more as a breakfast space with some evening options.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to blow your mind with fancy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies, but it does exactly what it promises really well. The 9.2 rating makes perfect sense when you consider what most travelers actually need — a clean, comfortable place to sleep, easy parking, reasonable prices, and a location that lets you experience real Riga without the tourist markup. It’s the kind of place where you end up staying longer than planned because everything just works smoothly.
Locals suggest to book apartments in Riga around the Old Town for riverside dining, market stops, and easy tram rides to Mežaparks.
