Forest Edge Lodge

Forest Edge Lodge Overview

I recently stayed at Forest Edge Lodge on Beberbeķu iela 30B, and honestly, it was one of those spots that feels like a secret you’re allowed to share with a friend. The building’s front door is a bit old‑fashioned, but the lobby has a warm, wood‑panelled vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. When I got there, the staff were already doing their thing, greeting guests with a friendly “Sveiki!” and giving me a quick rundown of the check‑in process. I mean, it was smooth—no long lines, which is a huge plus in Riga’s busy summer season. Parking is a bit of a hassle, though; you’ll need to find a spot in the street or pay for a meter, but the hotel does offer a small, paid parking lot just a block away, which is convenient if you’re not in a rush. And the noise? Well, it’s pretty quiet on the inside, but if you’re near the main road outside, you can hear the city’s hustle at night—nothing too loud, just the usual city hum.

The room itself was the sort of cozy, understated place you’d want to stay in for a week. The bed was super comfy, and the floor had that soft, natural wood feel that’s surprisingly rare in this part of town. I woke up to the smell of fresh coffee from the kitchen, which made the whole space feel even more relaxed. The windows offered a view of a small, tree‑lined courtyard that looked like a slice of forest right outside the city—hence the name. The bathroom had a nice, modern shower, and the towels were thick, not the kind that leave a streak of water. Honestly, the Wi‑Fi was decent, but I had to reset it a couple of times during the day, which was a bit annoying. Breakfast was a decent start; the continental spread had fresh pastries, but the selection of local Latvian dishes was a bit limited, so if you’re craving something traditional, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

Outside, the hotel is tucked into a quiet lane that’s just a short stroll from the Old Town, which is great for walking around. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, you can hop on a tram from the nearby stop and get to the main square in about ten minutes. I also took a lunch break at a small café on Āgenskalns Street, where the locals always rave about the homemade rye bread. The hotel’s staff even recommended a few of these hidden gems, which made my trip feel more authentic. The moment I left, I felt the usual mix of satisfaction and a little nostalgia—this place has that kind of charm that keeps you coming back. Overall, with a 9.1 rating, it’s clear why people love it, and for me, it felt like a home away from home, nestled right on the edge of a forest and the city’s pulse.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Riga through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for experiencing the city’s rich architectural heritage and cultural attractions.

• Great short break – Lina from United Kingdom – 12 August 2023 (10/10)

  Thanks to Gary and Elena for a great stay. The lodge was perfect and it’s very clear they put a lot of effort into making our stay as pleasant as possible. The lodge has everything you could possibly need, is very spacious, clean and comfortable. We especially liked the well-appointed kitchen and the wood burning stove. Location is good for both Riga and Jūrmala – we used Bolt but you could easily drive or get a bus. Overall, for the price and compared to other nearby properties, we think this was good value.
