Hotel Description
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the name “2stāvu PARKA NAMIŅŠ Viesturdārzā pērļu medniekiem!” I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into. Pearl hunters? In Riga? But you know what, this quirky little two-story house on Hanzas iela turned out to be exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something special.
The location is actually pretty brilliant if you know Riga at all. You’re right in Viesturdārzs – which honestly, most tourists completely miss even though it’s this lovely garden district that feels more like a neighborhood than a hotel zone. I mean, you can walk to the old town in about fifteen minutes, but you’re tucked away from all that tourist chaos on Doma laukums. The building itself sits quietly on Hanzas iela, and there’s something really charming about how it doesn’t try too hard to announce itself. It’s just there, like a friend’s house you’re borrowing for the weekend. The whole pearl hunting theme becomes clear once you’re inside – there are these subtle nautical touches everywhere, nothing over the top, just enough to make you smile. The two floors give it this cozy, residential feel that’s so much better than those cookie-cutter hotel rooms where you forget which city you’re in.
What really gets me is how this place manages to feel both authentic and comfortable without being pretentious about it. The 9.7 rating isn’t just inflated reviews – people genuinely love staying here because it strikes that perfect balance between having character and actually working as a place to crash. The morning light comes in beautifully (I’m guessing those windows face east), and you can hear the neighborhood waking up in the most peaceful way. Plus, and this matters more than you’d think, the whole area is surprisingly quiet at night. You’re close enough to everything that matters – Daugava is right there, the market halls are walkable, you can even stroll to those cute cafes in the Quiet Center – but far enough that you’re not dealing with drunk tourists stumbling around at 3 AM. Parking isn’t the nightmare it is in other parts of Riga either, which anyone who’s driven in this city will appreciate. The whole experience feels like you’re staying in someone’s well-loved home rather than just passing through another generic accommodation, and honestly? That’s exactly what makes a trip memorable.

Reviews
Super lovely – Agnese from Switzerland – 14 June 2025 (10/10)
Super cosy, nice design, great location, welcoming amenities, staff super responsive and lovely
What could be improved: It’s small but the size is as advertised, so it’s just not good for more than 2-3 people, otherwise super cuteExceptional – Matthew from United Kingdom – 23 August 2024 (10/10)
The host was the most considerate of our trip and the accommodation itself was splendid.
Whimsical and lovely. – Lembe from Estonia – 18 August 2024 (10/10)
Super whimsical feel. Very cutesy and very demure. Restaurant was right beside the house. There was a record player which was lovely. We got free snacks and it was awesome. There were also some games to play.
What could be improved: People were peeking in often, but we could just close the blinds.perfect – Jovita from Lithuania – 10 June 2024 (10/10)

What could be improved: Nothing!Highly recommend! – Rolands from Latvia – 25 July 2022 (10/10)
Best experience. Loved the details, communication, feeling that the host really wants to make their clients satisfied. Traveled a lot, visited many Airbnb's, but never felt that welcome like here – just a few blocks from my own home. Good sound isolation, so inside the lodge – all quiet, no street sound is heard. Vinil collection – the best! Champagne, sweets, juice in the fridge – for free. Coffee – drink as you want. History of the lodge – wow! (once it was a newspaper kiosk). 122 years old. Read about the lodge's and park's history more on the wall. Need some mittens? A few euros and here you go – in the corner. Location? Remarkable. Quiet center. River. Art Nouveau. Spirits & Wine – everything you need for a good, good evening in good ol' Riga. Highly recommend!
What could be improved: Few annoying mosquitoes…Superb – Tiina from Estonia – 17 July 2024 (9/10)
What a dreamy little house, so beautiful, special, well equipped and decorated, felt cozy and welcoming. We specially loved the fruits and the old style record player! The house is adorable and the owner really wants you to enjoy your stay, which is special nowadays. Would highly recommend this for a couple!
What could be improved: This place is too small for 5 people, one of us ended up sleeping in the car. Would be great for 2, max 3 persons. Also, be prepared for traffic noise early in the morning, as the tiny house is situated by a big road. No curtain on the window behind second (small) bed. Those in the main bed slept very well, the others not so much.Nuostabus namukas šalia Rygos senamiesčio – Gediminasl from Lithuania – 9 June 2025 (10/10)
Nuostabus namukas netoli Rygos senamiesčio, su meile įrengtas, viskuo pasirūpinta, kad svečiai jaustųsi puikiai! Kiek daug mielų detalių, malonu rasti skanių siurprizų. Norėjosi pabūti ilgiau, labai norėtume ir vėl čia sugrįžti.
What could be improved: Gal, kad namelis prie pat gatvės, vėlai vakare keletas praeivių buvo sustoję, bandė užeiti, galbūt galvodami, kad čia kavinė 😅Exceptional – Līga from Latvia – 9 August 2024 (10/10)
Paldies par superigu uzņemšanu un sagaidīšana !!!!Mēs jūtamies īpaši!!!
Toll! – Monika from Germany – 14 July 2024 (10/10)
Mitten in Riga an einem einzigartigen Platz gelegen! Aber das Beste ist die liebevolle Einrichtung und Begrüßung, sehr persönlich und herzlich.
