Forest Edge House

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Forest Edge House? The name actually makes perfect sense once you’re there. I mean, you’re technically still in Rīga – the address puts you in the Beberbeķi area on the north side – but step outside and you’ve got this lovely green buffer zone that makes the city feel miles away. It’s one of those spots that locals probably drive past all the time without really noticing, tucked away on Beberbeķu iela where residential meets almost-countryside.

The whole place has this comfortable, lived-in elegance that you don’t always get with four-star properties. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no overly formal desk person trying to upsell you on spa packages or restaurant reservations. The lobby’s got these warm wood tones and actually decent coffee (honestly, that’s rarer than it should be), and there’s this subtle forest-meets-modern thing going on with the décor that could easily feel forced but somehow doesn’t. My room faced the back, which I initially worried about, but it turned out to be perfect – you wake up to actual birdsong instead of traffic, and the windows are big enough that you get proper natural light without feeling like you’re in a fishbowl. The beds are legitimately comfortable, not just hotel-comfortable, and the bathroom had one of those rainfall showers that actually has decent water pressure.

Here’s the thing about the location that makes it work so well – you’re about fifteen minutes from Old Town by car, but you’re also walking distance to some genuinely good local spots that most tourists never discover. There’s this little bakery about five minutes away that opens early and does these incredible rye pastries (I may have gone there three mornings in a row), and the whole neighborhood has this authentic residential vibe where you’ll see actual families going about their day instead of just other hotel guests. Parking’s free and easy, which – let’s be honest – is kind of a miracle when you’re staying anywhere in or near Rīga proper. The staff seems to actually live in the area too, so when I asked about where to grab dinner that wasn’t touristy, I got real recommendations instead of the usual rehearsed list of hotel partners. That 9-star rating starts to make sense when you realize it’s probably coming from people who appreciate the balance of being connected to the city but not overwhelmed by it. It’s the kind of place where you can decompress after a day of sightseeing without feeling like you’re missing out on anything by not staying right in the thick of things.

  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.
