Riga Luxury Loft with Terrace

Riga Luxury Loft with Terrace Overview

Riga Luxury Loft with Terrace sits on Mārtiņa iela 8, right in the heart of old Riga but with a twist – it’s a converted 19th‑century loft, so the walls still whisper stories of the city’s past. I remember walking in on a crisp October morning, the city still buzzing with the last of the autumn leaves, when the front door opened and the lobby hit me like a warm hug. The staff were quick, but not rushed – they took a moment to chat about the best way to get to the Central Market on foot, which is just a stone’s throw away. I mean, you could walk from the lobby to the market in about five minutes, and that’s a great way to soak up the local vibe without having to hop on a bus. The check‑in was smooth, with a digital key on the phone that worked like a charm, and the concierge even offered a free bottle of Latvian wine to try while you unpacked.

The room itself feels like a private loft loft, literally. The high ceilings, exposed brick, and reclaimed timber floors give it that authentic loft feel, while the large windows offer a panoramic view of the city skyline – you can see the Freedom Monument, the Riga Cathedral, and the Daugava river all in one breath. The terrace is a game‑changer: a small balcony with a couple of chairs, a table, and a tiny potted plant. I spent a rainy afternoon sipping coffee there, watching the raindrops race down the glass. The noise level is surprisingly low; the building’s thick walls keep out the usual city bustle, so even in the middle of the day you might hear only distant traffic and the occasional street musician. It’s perfect for a quiet night’s sleep, especially if you’re staying during the summer when the evenings get warm and the city lights flicker like fireflies.

One thing I noticed – and I say this because I’ve stayed in a few places – is the parking situation. There’s a small underground garage right next to the building, and the staff will let you use it for free if you stay more than a week. It’s not the most glamorous parking experience, but you won’t have to search for a spot or worry about a meter. Also, the noise from the street can be a bit loud right after sunset on Mārtiņa iela, especially when the traffic picks up again, but that’s only a minor quibble. The only real critique is that the in‑room minibar is stocked with a handful of snacks, not enough for a full bar experience, but that’s typical for a boutique hotel. All in all, it’s a solid choice if you want a mix of historic charm and modern convenience, with a touch of local flavor that only a true Rīgian would appreciate. The vibe here is relaxed yet vibrant, and you’ll probably find yourself telling a friend you just had the best coffee in town right off the balcony of this loft.

• 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)

  Удобная, просторная квартира. Отзывчивые хозяева. Вид

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