Old factory loft aprtment L39

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place? The name doesn’t lie – it really is an old factory converted into apartments, and you can feel that industrial history the moment you step inside. The Old Factory Loft Apartment L39 sits right on Lāčplēša Street, which honestly is one of those perfect Riga locations where you’re close enough to everything but not drowning in tourist crowds. I mean, you’re literally a ten-minute walk from the Old Town, but you’re staying where actual locals live and work.

The loft itself has this raw, authentic feel that some of those polished hotel chains just can’t replicate. High ceilings, exposed brick in places, and windows that actually let in proper light – something you don’t always get in Riga’s older buildings. The apartment is surprisingly spacious too, which matters when you’re traveling with more than just a carry-on. I appreciated the kitchen setup because let’s be honest, eating out for every meal in the Baltics can get expensive, and there’s a decent Rimi supermarket just down the street if you want to grab some basics. The neighborhood has this lived-in quality that I really liked – you’ll hear some street noise during the day (it’s a working area, after all), but it quiets down pretty well at night.

What really sold me on this place was how it sits in the city. Lāčplēša Street puts you right in the middle of Riga’s creative district, and you’re surrounded by these little cafes and design shops that most tourists completely miss. There’s this excellent coffee place called Miit Coffee just around the corner – locals queue up there every morning, which is always a good sign. The 8.6 rating makes total sense because while it’s not luxury (it’s honestly rated as a 3-star and feels like one), it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. The check-in was straightforward, the wifi actually worked properly, and the shower had decent pressure. Sometimes that’s all you need, you know? Plus, if you’re planning to explore beyond Riga, the location is actually pretty smart – you’re close to the central train station without being right on top of it, and parking isn’t the nightmare it can be in the Old Town if you’re driving.

• Great flat 🙂 – Andreou from United Kingdom – 10 October 2022 (10/10)

  The flat is located in a great location for exploring. Spacious flat and comfortable for a big group of friends. The decoration and internal design is very interesting and unique. Easy to communicate with property manager too.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing 🙂

• In general all good, but some fixes are needed to keep that price – Viktoras from Lithuania – 19 August 2024 (8/10)

  Number of sleeping rooms and beds, bathrooms – for a company of people of different habits it's ideal, also the place was close to the center although we used this advantage only once.
  
  What could be improved: Some broken switches, furniture and home utilities. It should be fixed or utilized. There was no coffee machine or dishwasher, what could turn the stay be more convenient.

• Very good – Petr from Czech Republic – 15 July 2023 (8/10)

  Very nice apartment close to the city center.
  
  What could be improved: Beds were not fully prepared for our group of 10 people, but we solved with the owner after arrival. Finally everything was OK.

• Wonderful property, great location – security needs reviewing! – Sam from United Kingdom – 13 May 2025 (7/10)

  Set back from the main road behind a locked gate, it's relatively secluded (for a city) and was tucked away nicely. For such a large space, it was always very warm and very homely!
  
  The place felt very modern and was a great space for friends to hand out and eat together!
  
  What could be improved: I think security needs to be improved massively. The only thing keeping the lock on the main door in place, is a tiny strip of metal and 4 screws. It wouldn't take any force or time to pull the door open.
  
  There is also no way of locking the main door from the inside of the property without the key (for which only one was provided). Seen as this property can accommodate upto 10 guests, this can be very inconvenient as there is no way of locking the door and then placing the keys in the provided lock box for other guests to then use.

• Superb – Jurkka from Finland – 21 April 2025 (9/10)

  Erikoinen VALTAVA huoneisto,johon olis mahtunut tilan puolesta vaikka 20, mutta sänkyjä ehkä kymmenelle sohvilla ym. Ei olisi uskonut että ollaan oikeassa paikassa sisäpihan perukalla pyöriessä. Turvallinen mutta erittäin jännä ja todella arkkitehtoonisesti kunnostettu mesta! Hieno parveke ja PARAS turva vaikka cadillacillä /motskareilla matkusteleville!
  
  What could be improved: Oven lukko epäilystä herättävä; mutta toimitti asiansa. Tila ei sovi ihan pienten lasten kanssa; tyylikästä mutta kaiteettomia tasoja, pitää liikkua varovasti

• Exceptional – Ehlga from Latvia – 18 January 2025 (10/10)

  What could be improved: нет такого
