Old Riga 2 Bedroom Vecpilsetas Street Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what hit me first about this place? The address literally puts you in the heart of Old Riga’s cobblestone maze, but somehow you’re not dealing with the tourist chaos that usually comes with being this central. I mean, Vecpilsētas Street is tucked just enough away from the main drag that you’ll actually sleep at night, but you’re still a two-minute walk from those Instagram-worthy medieval buildings everyone’s hunting for.

The apartment itself is honestly bigger than I expected – having two proper bedrooms in Old Riga is pretty rare without paying through the nose. The setup works really well if you’re traveling with friends or family since you’re not all crammed into one space. The kitchen’s actually functional too, which matters more than you’d think when you realize how expensive it gets eating out for every meal in the old town. I’ll be real though – this isn’t luxury accommodation. It’s solid, clean, and gets the job done, but don’t expect fancy finishes or designer anything. The 7.5 rating makes sense; it’s above average but not spectacular.

What I really appreciated was how the location lets you experience Riga like you’re not just passing through. You can grab groceries at the little shops nearby (there’s a decent market just off Kalķu Street), and you’re close enough to walk to Daugava River when you need a break from the medieval architecture overload. The tram connections are solid if you want to explore beyond the old town – actually, the central station’s walkable if you don’t mind dragging luggage over cobblestones for about ten minutes. Parking’s going to be your biggest headache if you’re driving; Old Riga wasn’t exactly designed with cars in mind, but there are paid lots within reasonable walking distance. One thing worth noting – the building’s old (well, duh, it’s Old Riga), so don’t expect perfect soundproofing or modern conveniences like air conditioning. Summer nights can get warm, but opening the windows usually does the trick, and you’ll hear the city waking up in the morning, which is either charming or annoying depending on your perspective. For the price point and location, it’s honestly a pretty decent deal, especially if you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring rather than lounging around the accommodation.

Reviews

• Very nice apartment, the best location! – Eeva from Finland – 10 June 2024 (9/10)

  Good location, nice apartment.
  
  What could be improved: There is a big bathtub but not enough warm water to fill it. Tv channels didnt work.

• Convenient stay in the old town – Janek from Estonia – 13 May 2024 (9/10)

  In the old town, so in the very middle of the city. Very convenient when arriving by bus or train, since it is very close to the central bus and railway station. Perfect for an overnight sleep, if you don't need luxuries and bling. Everything was clean and comfortable. The apartement was quiet.

• Superb – Jennifer from Germany – 2 December 2023 (9/10)

  A nice, clean, bright apartment in an excellent location. Having the key in a lockbox is very convenient for arrival, departure, and for the times the adults in your group don't stick together.

• beautiful Riga – Leonora from United Kingdom – 9 January 2023 (8/10)

  location and the size of the property
  
  What could be improved: one bathroom only with a bathtub and no shower. one separate toilet and not a second full bathroom as advertised. Also the property advertised 3 bedrooms and separate loving room which was not the case as there were only 2 bedrooms and a living room with a fold open coach.
  
  was very tricky as we were six people with one bathroom and no shower.
