Sky Apartments Riga

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Sky Apartments Riga on Vagonu iela, I wasn’t expecting much. The street’s pretty quiet, tucked away in what feels like a residential pocket of the city, and the building itself has that understated Eastern European charm that either works for you or doesn’t. But here’s the thing: sometimes the best finds are the ones that don’t try too hard to impress you from the curb.

What actually won me over was how thoughtfully everything’s set up inside. These aren’t your typical cramped hotel rooms – they’re proper apartments with kitchenettes that actually function (I mean, you can cook real meals, not just heat up instant noodles). The woman at check-in knew her stuff too, gave me this whole rundown about the tram stops nearby and which grocery store stays open late. You know what really surprised me? How quiet it gets at night. Vagonu iela doesn’t get much through traffic, so you’re not dealing with that constant city hum that keeps you up. The windows are decent quality too – I stayed there during one of those typical Riga spring weeks where it can’t decide if it wants to rain or shine, and never had issues with drafts or street noise.

The location’s honestly pretty smart once you figure it out. You’re about a fifteen-minute walk to the old town if you take the route through Torņakalns, or you can hop on the tram right at the corner – the number 2 line gets you to the center in maybe ten minutes. There’s this little market just two blocks down where locals actually shop (not the tourist traps), and if you need anything at weird hours, there’s a Rimi that’s open until 10 PM about five minutes away. Parking was surprisingly hassle-free too, which anyone who’s driven in Riga will tell you is worth its weight in gold. The apartments themselves have this lived-in feel that’s way more comfortable than those sterile chain hotels – like someone actually thought about how people use spaces. Small touches matter: the shower has proper water pressure, there’s enough outlets for your devices, and the wifi doesn’t cut out every twenty minutes. I mean, it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it’s the kind of place where everything just works the way it should.

Reviews

• Not so cheap, but if the location is ok, then I would it’s worth that. – Mārtiņš from Latvia – 23 January 2024 (10/10)

  The price of 62€ is over avarage for basic 1-room apartment in Riga, but when you will get there you can understand why. It was really well equipied, very clean and warm, the area is silent, the host was really nice lady who reacted very quick on my check-in despite that I booked it lately right before my arrival. It was 4th floor without the elevator, but domophone was working, so you don’t need to go down if you order food. Thank you very much for your service.
  
  What could be improved: The only minus was that when I took shower shortly before midnight the water in the bathroom was rather just warm not hot, however in the late morning the temperature was OK. But I would still give you 10 points
