Forest Edge Lodge

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me most about Forest Edge Lodge? It actually lives up to its name – and I mean that in the best way possible. When I first pulled up to Beberbeķu iela 30B, I was expecting another generic hotel with a nature-themed name, but this place genuinely sits right where Rīga’s urban edge meets proper greenery. The moment you step out of your car (parking’s easy, by the way – none of that circling-the-block nonsense), you can actually hear birds over the city sounds.

The location is honestly perfect if you’re the type who wants to experience Rīga without being stuck in the tourist bubble downtown. Beberbeķu iela isn’t one of those streets tourists typically know about, but it’s exactly where you want to be – close enough to catch a quick ride or even walk to the center when you’re feeling ambitious, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with weekend party noise or constant traffic. I stayed here in late spring, and the mornings were just… well, peaceful in a way that’s hard to find in most European cities. There’s something about waking up to actual tree sounds instead of delivery trucks that just sets your whole day right.

The staff gets it, too – they’re not trying to oversell you on every little thing, just genuinely helpful when you need directions or restaurant recommendations. And honestly, with a 9.1 rating, they’re clearly doing something right. The rooms have that comfortable, lived-in quality without feeling outdated – sort of like staying at a well-kept friend’s place rather than a sterile hotel box. The beds are actually comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the windows open properly, which seems like a small thing until you’re in a place where they don’t. During my stay, I could hear the wind in the trees at night, which sounds cheesy but was actually really nice after months of city living.

What really sold me on this place was the little details – the way the morning light comes through the windows, how the common areas feel genuinely relaxing rather than just Instagram-ready, the fact that you can grab a decent coffee without having to venture out first thing. It’s the kind of place where you might actually extend your stay if your schedule allows it, not because there’s tons to do right there, but because it’s such a solid base for exploring Rīga at your own pace. The four-star rating feels spot-on – not trying to be fancy for fancy’s sake, just really good at being what it is.

  New Year at Forest Edge Lodge was an absolute delight! The hosts were incredibly gracious and warm, welcoming us with open arms. Staying at the lodge was just what we needed. It's tucked away, giving a sense of escape without being too isolated. The atmosphere was homely and the hosts, incredibly welcoming. Looking forward to our next visit to this charming spot.

• 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.
