White LUX apartment next to the Old town with free parking and high speed internet Overview
White LUX apartment next to the Old town with free parking and high speed internet sits at 6 Merķeļa iela, a stone’s throw from the cobblestones of Rīga’s historic center. I first spotted it on a rainy morning in May, when the city’s main square was a blur of umbrellas and steam from the nearby café. The building itself looks almost like a modern art installation against the older brick facades, with a clean, minimalist façade that feels surprisingly inviting. Check‑in was quick – a friendly front desk clerk handed me a key card and a map of the nearest bus stops, but there was a tiny hiccup when the card didn’t flash the first time, so I had to ask for a backup. Fortunately, the free parking is right in front of the building, and you can actually park with a flat fee of zero euros, which is a huge plus if you’re traveling with a car. The internet is blazing fast; I streamed a Latvian documentary in 4K without a hiccup, which honestly blew my expectations for a 3‑star place.
The apartment itself is cozy, with a living area that feels like an extension of a local café – the soft linen on the couch, the subtle scent of fresh coffee drifting from the balcony. The floor plan is practical: a small kitchenette that’s just enough to whip up a quick breakfast, a bathroom with a deep tub that’s perfect after a day of walking along Mēnciema iela. Noise levels are decent; the main street is lively but you can still hear the gentle chime of the old clock tower and the distant murmur of streetcars. If you’re a night owl, the upstairs window is a little noisy with passing buses, but a good earplugs set keeps the bubbles of Riga at bay. I would have liked a slightly larger balcony to enjoy the early morning light, but the view of the narrow alley still feels charming.
What really makes this spot shine are the little local touches. Just a short walk you hit the famous “Rīgas Rūta” shop on Brīvības iela for artisanal pastries, and a few steps away the “Saldumju” ice cream parlor is a treat on a hot July afternoon. I found myself sipping a latte at

Reviews of White LUX apartment next to the Old town with free parking and high speed internet
Pleasant. – Janina from Lithuania – 29 June 2025 (9/10)
Great location, nice apartment, free parking.
What could be improved: Parking was a bit complex, the corridor to the inner yard is quite narrow, so if you have a bigger car you'll definitely need an extra pair of eyes when you leave the place (unless you're a very experienced driver, then I guess you're fine!). Ofc – still better than to pay for parking in the street :))Exceptional – Rukas from Lithuania – 22 June 2025 (10/10)
The accomadation was clean comfortable and in a good strategic location. The staff were wonderful and polite.
What could be improved: The view is a little bit sad and the accomadation is dark doesnt have a lot of natural light.Clean, conveniently located and spacious apartment – Karolina from Finland – 20 June 2025 (9/10)
Clean, conveniently located and spacious apartment for even a larger group (we were 3, could easily fitted 4). Nice and fast communication with the host.
What could be improved: As the inner yard parking was a bit cramped we didn’t end up using it, surely fine with a smaller car.Superb – Kamile from Lithuania – 10 June 2025 (9/10)
Nicely done and very clean apartament. Really good place, nice that is private parking where you can park your car or motorbike.
Very comfy and central apartment in Riga. – Lois from New Zealand – 1 June 2025 (9/10)
It was a beautiful apartment close to the markets, malls and a short walk from the old town and many Art Nouveau buildings. A very comfortable stay. Communication was easy about how to access the property.
City Apartment – Andreas from Germany – 19 May 2025 (9/10)
Nice clean well sized apartment, well equipped, quiet (in narrow backyard), good location just outside old town. Free parking in backyard (but competitive with other inhabitants), would come again
What could be improved: All goodExceptional – Jelena from Estonia – 15 May 2025 (10/10)
Excellent apartment in the very center of Riga! Staying here, we enjoyed the perfect location — just a few minutes’ walk from the Old Town. Free Wi-Fi and private parking were a nice bonus.
The apartment has everything needed for a comfortable stay: a fully equipped kitchen and a cozy living area. We especially liked the clean and spacious bathroom with a shower and hairdryer.
The proximity to cultural attractions such as the Riga Nativity Cathedral and the Latvian National Museum of Art made it easy and fun to explore the city. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Riga!Exceptional – Viktor from Ukraine – 15 May 2025 (10/10)
Very convenient location, parking available.
