Forest Edge House

Forest Edge House Overview

Forest Edge House sits tucked on Beberbeķu iela 30A, a quiet slice of Rīga that feels like a secret garden in the middle of the city. I remember the moment I stepped out of the tram at the next stop – the cobblestones from the old town were a few blocks away, but the street was lined with leafy trees that almost made you forget you were in the capital. The lobby was surprisingly spacious for a 4‑star, with a warm wooden desk that looked like it belonged in a 1970s Latvian home rather than a modern hotel. Check‑in was snappy; the front desk staff greeted me with a friendly “Sveiki!” and handed over the key card with a smile that felt more personal than the glossy brochures I’d seen before. Parking is a bit of a rummage‑tale – there’s a small paid lot right next to the building, but you have to watch out for delivery trucks that sometimes block the entrance at night. Noise is minimal; the only sounds you hear are the occasional chatter from the adjacent café and the faint rustle of leaves. Honestly, I felt like I’d slipped into a cozy hideout rather than a tourist spot.

The room itself was a perfect blend of modern comfort and rustic charm. I swear the bedding was like sleeping on a cloud of soft linen, and the window offered a view of the street where you can see people walking their dogs or a local vendor hawking freshly baked rye bread. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious, with a rain shower that felt like a mini spa session. I lingered a while, listening to the faint hum of the central heating system you only hear at certain times of day, and that was oddly soothing. Breakfast was a highlight – a selection of Latvian pastries (you have to try the rye bread rolls) paired with an espresso that was strong enough to kickstart your day. The staff even offered a small pot of kvass, which was a neat local touch I hadn’t expected. The only gripe was that the Wi‑Fi password was printed on a sticky note that was a bit hard to spot, but I found it eventually. I mean, who needs a perfect signal when you’ve got a great view?

If you’re planning a visit, I’d say the best time to stay is during the late spring or early autumn. The city is lively but not overcrowded, and the temperatures are just right for walking down the nearby streets like Cēsu and Jāņa Dūna. I walked past the famous Rīgas Doma (St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s Cathedral) and the old town’s cobblestone squares just a 15‑minute stroll away, which felt almost like a secret. For food, there’s a tiny bistro on the corner of Beberbeķu and Astora that serves the best “pīrādīt” (Latvian pastry) you’ve ever tasted. If you’re into nature, the park across the street offers a quiet escape from the city’s hustle, especially at sunrise. In short, Forest Edge House is not just a place to sleep but a gateway to the local vibe, with the kind of thoughtful touches that make you feel like a friend rather than a guest.

To book a hotel in Riga during major Baltic festivals, travelers need early planning as this medieval Hanseatic capital draws visitors eager to experience its UNESCO World Heritage old town and vibrant cultural scene.

  What could be improved: Nothing

• Superb – C86s from United States – 16 August 2023 (9/10)

  The location was quiet on a street full of trees with a suburban feeling. Kids loved the place becuase they were able to play outside and with the toys that were there. Location is right at the city limit so if you plan to see Riga city center you probably need a car. We had a car so no problem, just writhing this for others to know.
  
  What could be improved: Not a big deal for us but the host has a lot of rules when you get there and for some it might be annoying. If you visit with small kids be careful the handrail balusters spacing for the staircase is really wide a kid can easily fall through. We had to keep an constantly on the 4 year old and it made it a little bit stressful.

• Exceptional – Mikus from Latvia – 19 November 2022 (10/10)

  Everything was very very good. The place itself is very beautiful, with a beautiful garden and a good location – near to Riga, but at the same time a very quiet neighborhood.
  The planes flying over the house might be noisy for someone, but we enjoyed them.
  The hosts are very kind and generous.
  Will be booking this place again for sure.
