Riga Luxury Loft with Terrace

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The terrace. I mean, sure, it’s in the name, but when you’re walking up Mārtiņa iela – which is honestly one of those streets that feels tucked away from the main tourist chaos – you don’t expect to find this kind of elevated sanctuary waiting for you. The building itself is classic Riga, that beautiful Art Nouveau stuff the city’s famous for, but inside it’s been completely transformed into something that actually feels livable rather than just Instagram-worthy.

The loft setup works really well here. High ceilings, original details they smartly kept intact, but with modern touches that don’t feel forced. What I appreciated most was how quiet it gets at night – Mārtiņa iela isn’t one of those party streets, so you can actually sleep with the windows open when the weather’s nice. The terrace faces west, which means incredible sunsets if you’re into that sort of thing, and honestly, even if you’re not, there’s something about having that outdoor space in the middle of the city that just makes you breathe easier. During summer evenings, you can hear the distant hum from Vecrīga (Old Town is maybe a 12-minute walk), but it’s more atmosphere than noise.

Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where you feel like you’re living in Riga rather than just visiting it. There’s a solid grocery store about three blocks down, and if you walk toward Elizabetes iela, you’ll hit some genuinely good local spots that don’t cater to tourists. The 8.7 rating makes sense – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but everything works the way it should. Check-in was straightforward, no weird key pickup situations, and the host actually knows the neighborhood well enough to give useful recommendations. One small thing: the stairs up to the loft are a bit steep, so if you’re traveling with heavy luggage or mobility concerns, just factor that in. But honestly, once you’re up there with a coffee on that terrace, looking out over the mix of historic buildings and everyday Riga life happening below, those stairs become pretty forgettable.

• Good – Eedi from Finland – 6 July 2023 (7/10)

  Spacious apartment. Lot of natural light due to windows. Easy electronic locking in doors.
  
  What could be improved: A bit bleak due to lot of space and minimal amount of furnitures and missing decoration.
  Only one bathroom is not enough always.
  Like in almost all apartments so far, frying pan is scrathed and useless. Take your own with you. Location quite far.

• Not the luxury loft they are selling – Johan from Finland – 11 July 2024 (5/10)

  The flat had a lot of space and the view from the terrace was great.
  
  What could be improved: The apartment had a really funky smell, like someone had smoked cigarettes there for years. By opening the windows we got the smell out temporarily, but it came back when you closed the windows. The beds had stains on them and the bathrooms had black mould. Doors where broken, the TV did not work, the elevator did not work. The apartment was not in good shape and the pictures on the booking site are not telling the truth.

• Exceptional – Marina from Sweden – 29 April 2024 (10/10)

• Рекомендую шикарную квартиру – Marina from Sweden – 20 August 2023 (10/10)
