B34 Loft Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about B34 Loft Apartment? Walking up to 34 Blaumaņa iela, I honestly wasn’t expecting much from the street view – it’s this quiet residential stretch that doesn’t scream “amazing hotel experience.” But then you step inside and it’s like… well, someone actually thought about what travelers want instead of just cramming beds into rooms.

The loft setup is pretty clever, actually. They’ve got this open-concept thing going that doesn’t feel forced or trendy for the sake of it. The ceilings are high enough that you’re not bumping your head if you’re tall, and there’s real natural light coming through – not those tiny windows that make you feel like you’re in a cave. I mean, Riga can get pretty gray during certain months, so having actual bright spaces matters more than you’d think. The kitchen area is functional too, which is huge if you’re staying more than a couple nights. You can actually cook something decent instead of living off hotel breakfast and overpriced room service.

Location-wise, here’s the thing about Blaumaņa iela – it’s residential enough that you’re not dealing with drunk tourists stumbling around at 2 AM, but you’re still walking distance from the good stuff. The Old Town is maybe fifteen minutes on foot, and honestly, that walk through the neighborhood gives you a better feel for actual Riga than staying right in the tourist center. There’s a decent grocery store about three blocks away (I think it’s a Rimi), and you’ll pass a few local cafes that don’t have English menus plastered everywhere – which is actually refreshing. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving, but that’s pretty much true anywhere in this part of the city.

What really sells this place is the attention to details that matter. The Wi-Fi actually works well enough for video calls – I know that sounds basic, but you’d be surprised how many places mess this up. The shower has proper water pressure, the heating works without making weird noises all night, and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase on the floor. The 9.5 rating makes sense when you stay here because it’s not trying to be something it’s not. It’s a well-executed apartment rental that happens to work perfectly for travelers who want a bit more space and independence than a traditional hotel room.

I’d say this works especially well if you’re in Riga for more than just a quick weekend, or if you’re traveling with someone and need space to spread out without getting on each other’s nerves. The four-star rating feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it’s thoughtfully done and actually comfortable for the price point.

Reviews

• High style and comfort, bring your ear plugs. – Nicholas from Canada – 7 July 2025 (9/10)

  Beautifully furnished to a high standard, extremely clean and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: There are a few cafe bars on the street below, one of which seemed to be open till 7am, so there is some noise. And if you’re really unlucky then one of them will be having a party and it will feel like your head is literally inside the speakers until midnight.

• Exceptional – Daniel from Australia – 2 July 2025 (10/10)

  This place has a great vide, so close to Trams/buses, convenience stores and a small shopping centre.
  
  There is mention that the stairs are an issue but they are shallow and deep, an easy walk up. Around 12 or so.
  
  Highly recommend.
  
  What could be improved: No issues at all.

• Exceptional – Meg from Latvia – 24 May 2025 (10/10)

  Loves the skylights, all amenities were wonderful
  
  What could be improved: N/A

• Clean and comfy apartment – Matthias from Germany – 18 May 2025 (9/10)

  Clean and comfy apartment. Near to the City centre, Old town and public traffic. Great host, uncomplicated and super organized communication. Smooth self-check-in. A great breakfast cafe and a vegan restaurant are right below the apartment. Great food at fair prices. you can't go wrong with this apartment. I would book again at any time.

• Superb – Katharina from Germany – 25 April 2025 (9/10)

  Very good location, apartment was super clean, check-in and check out was uncomplicated
  
  Price performance ratio is very good! We can recommend it!
  
  What could be improved: We were 4 persons (2 in bed and 2 on the sofa), the sofa is not the best for sleeping on it a longer period (a little bit noisy)
  
  A small wish: we would have appreciated one extra towels for hands

• Clean, stylish and comfortable stay in Riga – Thomas from Australia – 12 February 2025 (9/10)

  The apartment was in a great location, trams closeby and in a really good spot for restaurants, supermarket and parks. It was impeccably clean, well furnished and stylised, with ample space for hanging clothes, a nice sitting area and new kitchen. Staff were helpful to communicate with and the instructions were clear and easy to understand. Just a note – the elevator takes you to floor six and the apartment is one further flight of stairs up on level seven; you will only need to walk up one flight of stairs.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Amazing. – Davis from Latvia – 10 February 2025 (10/10)

  Everything really!
  
  What could be improved: I only use gas stoves, so I personally don't like induction, and that is the only thing I can say I didn't like (and this is nitpicking to the maximum)

• Wonderful place in Riga Centrs – Marina from Germany – 3 December 2024 (10/10)
