Photographer Rudolf’s Studio – ground floor with separate entrance

Photographer Rudolf’s Studio – ground floor with separate entrance Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Rudolf’s place? The moment I walked through that separate entrance on Baznīcas iela, I felt like I’d stumbled into someone’s creative sanctuary rather than just another rental. And honestly, that’s exactly what it is – this ground floor studio still has that photographer’s eye for detail everywhere you look, from the way the light filters through those tall windows to the thoughtful placement of mirrors that somehow make the space feel twice as big as it actually is.

The location is pretty sweet if you know Rīga at all. Baznīcas iela isn’t one of those tourist-packed streets where you can’t think straight, but you’re still close enough to Old Town that you can actually walk there without planning your whole day around it. I mean, I grabbed coffee from that little spot two blocks down every morning and was in the heart of the city center in maybe fifteen minutes on foot. The separate entrance thing is clutch too – you don’t have to deal with other guests or worry about making noise when you’re coming back late from exploring the nightlife around Doma laukums.

What really makes this place work is how it feels lived-in but not cluttered, you know? There’s actual character here – exposed brick in spots, interesting photography on the walls (obviously), and this sort of bohemian vibe that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy being somewhere instead of just crashing for the night. The kitchen setup is way more functional than I expected from a 3-star place, and honestly, after dealing with some of those cookie-cutter hotel breakfast situations, being able to make my own coffee exactly how I like it was kind of a relief. Fair warning though – the neighborhood gets pretty quiet at night, which was perfect for me but might feel a bit too sleepy if you’re looking for action right outside your door. And while the 8.5 rating definitely feels right, don’t expect luxury hotel amenities – this is more about charm and authenticity than fancy toiletries and room service. But that’s kind of the point, isn’t it? Sometimes you want to stay somewhere that feels like it has a story to tell.

Reviews of Photographer Rudolf’s Studio – ground floor with separate entrance

• Like gronding cave – Svea from Estonia – 28 June 2025 (10/10)

  Nice room
  Quiet
  Comfortable
  
  What could be improved: –

• Cozy, stunning room – though a word of caution about the shower! – Aidan from United Kingdom – 19 June 2025 (7/10)

  Stunning decor, and the bathroom was especially well done – despite being underground, it doesn't feel claustrophobic at all. Very cozy, and the washing machine was very useful!
  
  What could be improved: It took until the final day for me to work out how to reduce the water pressure in the shower; as a result, I frequently had water overflow the shower base and run out in the hall.
  
  I'm fairly tall (193cm/6'4"), and found I had to duck under every doorframe, and was longer than the alcove the bed was in – I had to sleep diagonally, and with my feet and ankles not covered by the sheets.

• Exceptional – Nataliia from Lithuania – 12 June 2025 (10/10)

  Very cozy and good-looking space in a basement in the city center. Bathroom is beautiful with good different types of lighting. It was really nice to stay there.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Perfectly cozy. – Lediņa from Latvia – 25 December 2024 (10/10)

  Lovely, curated and comfortable interior. Location is perfect, easy to find and access.

• some errors in description !?; UNDERGROUND (and not groundfloor) … 8m2 and not 28m2 – Pierre from France – 17 May 2025 (2/10)

  decoration is OK, and photographer obviously excellent to convince you that a fake windows is a true one on the web site… congrats !
  
  What could be improved: A 8 m2 underground cave cannot be considered a 28 m2groundfloor facility ! (except is you account for the surface of shower, stairs and corridor to join the cave)…
  bathroom and shower independant indeed !…. even independant from hot water connection !

• Labākie! – Sandrisk from Latvia – 8 July 2025 (10/10)

  Dizains īpašs un vēlētos ilgāk tur pabūt.
  Par visu padomāts un tīrs un labākais serviss.
  
  What could be improved: Viss patika.

• Puiki atmosfera, išskirtinis ir originalus dizainas – Sigitas from Lithuania – 4 July 2025 (10/10)

  Atvykstu jau ne pirmą kartą ir visuomet lieku labai patenkintas. Puiki atmosfera, išskirtinis ir originalus dizainas. Labai patiko ir reguliuojamos šildomos grindys vonioje – suteikia dar daugiau komforto.

• Exceptional – Sigitas from Lithuania – 21 May 2025 (10/10)

  Labai patogi vieta, pačiame miesto centre, kelios minutės pėsčiomis iki senamiesčio, operos, parduotuvių ir restoranų. Be to, pačioje studijoje puiki garso izoliacija ir miegoti patogu – tylu.
  Puikus remontas: viskas nauja, gražu, labai stilingas dizainas. Šildomos grindys. Greitas Wi-Fi. Viskas kompaktiška, bet labai gerai apgalvota. Sakyčiau Instagraminis taškas 🙂 Apsistosiu čia dar kartą.

• Exceptional – Garmarita from Latvia – 24 January 2025 (10/10)

  Lieliska atrašanās vieta.
