Theatre Apartments Lacplesa

Hotel Description

You know what surprised me about Theatre Apartments Lacplesa? It’s actually got this really cool theatrical vibe that isn’t just a gimmicky name – I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Riga’s cultural district, and you can practically feel the creative energy buzzing around the neighborhood. The building itself sits right on Lāčplēša street, which honestly becomes your best friend when you’re trying to explain to taxi drivers where you’re staying (trust me, learn to pronounce it before you arrive).

The apartments themselves are pretty solid for a 3-star setup – nothing fancy, but they’ve got that European efficiency thing down pat. What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night, even though you’re surrounded by cafes and little theaters. The walls are thick enough that you won’t hear your neighbors shuffling around, which is more than I can say for some places I’ve stayed in the Baltics. The kitchenettes are actually functional too, not just for show – there’s a decent-sized Rimi supermarket about a 10-minute walk away if you want to grab groceries and save some euros on dining out. Speaking of food, you’re basically equidistant from Old Town’s tourist restaurants and the more authentic spots where locals actually eat, which gives you options depending on your mood.

Here’s what really sold me on the place though – the location is just smart. You’re close enough to walk to the Freedom Monument and wander through Vecrīga without breaking a sweat, but far enough out that you’re not dealing with drunk bachelor parties stumbling past your window at 2 AM. The tram stops are super close (the #11 line becomes your lifeline), and honestly, Riga’s public transport is surprisingly reliable once you figure out the system. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving – the street parking fills up fast, but there are a few paid lots within a couple blocks. The 8.6 rating makes total sense to me because it delivers exactly what it promises without any unpleasant surprises. The staff actually knows the neighborhood well enough to give you real recommendations, not just the standard tourist script. I had someone tell me about this tiny jazz club tucked away on a side street that I never would have found otherwise. It’s not luxury by any stretch, but it’s got that sweet spot of being comfortable, practical, and genuinely connected to what makes Riga interesting – plus you’ll have money left over for those ridiculously good pastries at the bakery down the street.

  Great location, modern, quiet, and easy check-in.
  
  What could be improved: The bed is a futon so not super comfortable, and the curtains don't do a very good job of blocking out light.

• Exceptional – Zane from United Kingdom – 22 May 2023 (10/10)

  Truly clean, great location, easy access with keycodes and the multiple codes and entrances make it also feel safe. Nicely and recently decored with a wonderful bathroom – rainfall shower included. Friendly and informative host who responds quickly. As a remote worker I truly appreciated the exceptionally fast internet 🙂 Would stay again!
  
  What could be improved: Not a fan of sofa beds personally and not much kit in the kichen

• Everything you need, for a great price, in a great location! – Lupien from United Kingdom – 20 January 2023 (7/10)

  The location is fantastic, it's super easy to walk everywhere, there's supermarkets around the corner and the old town is just a 15 minute walk away. The property is nicely tucked away so it's nice and quiet. It's well decorated and overall super clean. We went for a weekend and considering the price it was the perfect place for us to stay. Host was also very helpful. 🙂
  
  What could be improved: I'd just say that the towels smelled a little funky and for 2 people we were only supplied with one duvet cover so we had to share 1 single duvet. There was also no actual bed, just a sofa bed. If you have back issues, maybe take this into consideration.
