Уютный лофт среди старых парков

Уютный лофт среди старых парков Overview

I stumbled across Уютный лофт среди старых парков while wandering down 41 Daugavpils iela—just off the main artery that threads through Rīga’s old quarter. The building itself feels like a time capsule, brick walls peeling in the right places, and a little iron gate that squeaks like a welcome. Check‑in was oddly personal: the host, a middle‑aged Latvian with a warm smile and a habit of asking about your day, handed me a key that looked like it had been made from a forgotten piece of metal. She mentioned that the front desk opens at 4 pm, so if you’re arriving early, you’ll have to wait a bit, but honestly, that’s a small price for the vibe you get when you finally step inside.

Once you’re inside, the loft’s industrial chic is immediately obvious—exposed concrete, reclaimed wooden beams, and a big floor‑to‑ceiling window that frames the old city’s skyline like a living postcard. The room itself is a minimalist dream: a low‑profile bed, a single armchair that’s actually the best seat for a cup of Latvian coffee, and a tiny kitchenette with a kettle that boils in half the time you’d expect. There’s a smart TV, but if you’re looking for a quiet night, the only sound that reaches you is the distant hum of the city and the occasional gull that’s perched on the roof. The bathroom, though modest, is spotless and has a rain shower that makes you feel like you’re in a spa—well, in a loft, really. Parking is a bit of a hustle; there’s a small street lot next door, but you’ll need to walk a few steps to get to the front entrance, so if you’re lugging luggage, bring a bag‑tote or ask for a hand. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet after 10 pm, but during the summer, the old trees in the nearby park start to whisper with the wind, and the whole block feels like a living, breathing museum.

Outside, you’ll find a handful of spots that locals swear by. On the corner of Daugavpils and Brīvības Street is a tiny bakery that serves rye bread that’s still crusty but soft inside—perfect for a quick bite after a long day. Just two blocks over, there’s the old Riga railway station turned into a gallery and a café that’s open until midnight; the atmosphere there is a mix of vintage trains and indie music that makes it a favorite among the younger crowd. If you’re into history, the Latvian National Museum of Art is a short walk, and its modernist collection is a great counterpoint to the loft’s industrial vibe. I remember the first time I walked past the park, the smell of damp earth and the sound of a distant violin from a street performer made me think that the city itself is a living piece of art. The only downside? The check‑in process can feel a bit rushed during peak season, and the Wi‑Fi occasionally drops when the old cables hiccup, but honestly, you’ll hardly notice it if you’re just soaking in the scenery. All in all, if you’re looking for a place that feels like a second home and a window into Riga’s past and present, this loft is the spot—just don’t forget to bring a small bag for the extra layers you’ll need when the winter wind starts to bite.

Reviews of Уютный лофт среди старых парков

• Very good/Erinomaista/Xорошо/Loti labi! – Pk from Finland – 9 July 2024 (9/10)

  Accomodation has good location for walking around Riga, especially outside the central Riga.

• Exceptional – Djordje from Serbia – 15 May 2024 (10/10)

  Roman was a really lovely host and very responsive to anything that I needed during my stay, highly recommend.

• Great place to stay if heating fixed and stairs cleaned. – Ugnius from Lithuania – 16 February 2025 (8/10)

  Location was good, apartment is nicely furnished and cozy.
  
  What could be improved: It was cold inside, neighborhood was unpleasant with pooping on the stairs (i know it is not the landlords responsibility, but still it was ruining the overall experience).

• Exceptional – Nebojša from Montenegro – 30 October 2024 (10/10)

  Apartment building is pretty old, but when you get inside apartment you forget about building, appartment is really good , with ambient lights, cozy its 10-15minutes from City Center, its quiet , i would recommend
  
  What could be improved: Maybe little dusty, and thats pretty much it

• A very decent place for the price and the host's helpfulness and decor makes up for its shortfalls. – Leighton from United Kingdom – 31 July 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment is in a fantastic location, very green all around and a 20 minute walk from the centre. The apartment is really cosy and the host was responsive and helpful. It was also ok to check in 90 minutes early which was fantastic after a long journey.
  
  What could be improved: I think the host's cleaner is letting him down. The place was not very well cleaned with dead spiders in the bathroom and a layer of dust in the living room / bedroom and in the hallway. The kitchen is under-equipped, for example one fork and only one smelly tea towel for drying plates and cutlery. The sink in the bathroom is somewhat comical, tiny and you can't actually fit your head under or over it when washing. It's a design flaw.

• Nice spot to explore Riga and Latvia from, calisthenics park very close by. – Vermeulen from Ireland – 5 November 2023 (8/10)

  Lovely spacious apartment
  
  What could be improved: Unfortunately the hostess didn't get the check out date correct and arrived to clean the apartment before we had checked out. They apologized.

• You get what you pay for, not awful, but not too comfortable. – Owen from Spain – 18 July 2024 (7/10)

  I liked the modern decoration of the apartment the homely feel and the equipment in the kitchen. The wifi was good and reliable and I liked the lighting.
  
  What could be improved: There was no seating apart from the bed and a stool/single chair so you only really had a bed. The bed was very squeaky and the mattress was very soft. The curtains did not black out the room so when it got light it was difficult to sleep. There was no AC, or a fan, so when it was hot it made it difficult to sleep. The building is old and not well-maintained in the common areas. The sink in the bathroom made it very difficult to brush your teeth as it was tiny. The instructions on how to enter the apartment were not sent in time so I missed the start of an important meeting.

• Exceptional – Iryna from Germany – 17 August 2024 (10/10)
