Theatre Apartments Lacplesa

Theatre Apartments Lacplesa Overview

Theatre Apartments Lacplesa is tucked into the heart of Riga, right on 24 Lāčplēša iela. The moment you step out of the metro, the smell of fresh rye bread from the bakery on Pārdaugava Street hits you – that’s the first real taste of the city before you even get to the hotel. I remember the first time I walked past the old stone arch of the Latvian National Opera; the whole block feels like a living theatre, which is actually a great nod to the building’s name. The street itself is a mix of cobblestones and modern glass façades, and I swear you can hear the distant hum of scooters and the occasional accordion from a nearby café. Parking is a bit of a hunt – you’ll need to hop onto the small lot on Lāčplēša iela, but the staff is super friendly and will show you where to tuck your car.

Check‑in was quick, though the front desk clerk had to explain the keycard system, which honestly felt a bit old‑school but still worked. The lobby is warm, with exposed brick walls and a few art pieces that seem to tell the story of Riga’s past. Inside the apartment, I liked the open‑plan kitchen – there’s a real sense of space, and the kitchenette has everything you’d expect: a small fridge, a kettle, a stove, and a surprisingly good espresso machine. The bed is comfortable, with that familiar European linen feel – a bit crisp at first, but you get used to it. Noise from the street is minimal after 10 pm, but if you’re an early riser, the morning traffic can be a little loud, especially on weekdays. The bathroom is spotless, with a deep soaking tub that’s perfect after a day of sightseeing. I also appreciated the little touches: a set of local craft soaps, a handwritten map of hidden cafés, and a small selection of Latvian chocolates on the counter.

Outside, the vibe is a blend of old and new. Walking down Lāčplēša iela, you’ll spot the historic Lāčplēša Square, and just a block away, the Riga Central Market – a bustling maze of stalls selling everything from smoked fish to fresh berries. If you’re looking for a bite, there’s a tiny bistro on Brīvības iela that serves the best rye pancakes, and I swear the aroma alone will make you want to try them. For a quiet evening, the park near the Old Town, with its willow trees and a small pond, is the perfect escape. The hotel’s proximity to the Old Town means you can stroll to the medieval streets in under 10 minutes, yet you still get that sense of privacy. Overall, I’d say it’s a solid 3‑star spot that feels like a local’s home, with a rating of 9 that’s well deserved. If you’re planning a trip to Riga, this place will give you the right mix of comfort, authenticity, and a little bit of theatrical flair – you know what I mean?

  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.
