Vagnera Old Town Two Bedroom Apartment

Vagnera Old Town Two Bedroom Apartment Overview

Vagnera Old Town Two Bedroom Apartment sits tucked between the cobblestone lanes of Riharda Vāgnera iela, just a stone’s throw from the bustling Lielā Kalna. I remember walking straight out of the door and hearing the hum of the city—cars, street musicians, and the occasional shout from a Latvian barista. The apartment itself feels like a small, cozy studio in a larger home, which is perfect for a couple or a small family who wants that authentic city vibe. The living area is surprisingly spacious for a 3‑star spot; the sofa stretches out like a lazy cat, and you can actually see the old brick walls that give it that rustic charm. (I mean, it’s not a hotel, it feels more like a home, which is the whole point.)

The kitchen is a bit of a hidden gem—you get a compact island with a decent sink, an old-fashioned stove, and a fridge that’s just enough for a week of groceries. The counter is made of a rough, weathered wood that smells faintly of oak; it’s a subtle hint that this place has been through a few seasons. The bathroom is another highlight: a bright, white shower with a glass door that lets in a splash of natural light. I found the tiles a bit slippery, so I brought a small rubber mat just in case. When I first checked in, the front desk was handled by a local named Māris, who gave me a map of the old town and pointed out that the best coffee shop is just past the Puppet Theatre, called “Kafija” – it’s a must‑visit for a strong Latvian brew. The check‑in process was quick, but the staff did take a moment to explain how the old building’s heating works—good to know, especially if you’re arriving in December.

Noise-wise, the apartment is fairly quiet after 10 p.m. but, during the summer months, you can hear the city’s nightlife spill over from the nearby bars. I woke up on a Thursday morning to the distant sound of a trumpet from a jazz club on Ārboņa Street. Parking is a non‑issue in this part of Riga; there’s a small municipal lot just down the street that’s free, and if you’re willing to walk a few blocks, there are also street spots. The only downside I found was the slightly uneven floor in the hallway, but that’s a minor quibble. Overall, if you’re looking to immerse yourself in the heart of Riga, with a touch of old‑world charm and a practical, no‑frills vibe, this place delivers. Just remember to bring a sweater for the evenings—Latvian nights can be chilly even in July.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Riga at least two months ahead for major events like opera festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near historic attractions.

• Very good – Erki from Estonia – 15 February 2025 (8/10)

  Fantastic location and nice historic ambience. I really liked that there was well working espresso machine with capsules ready to make some brew. Bedsheets were very good quality and clean and without annoying odour. I am allergic to washing scents so I was very happy about it.
  
  What could be improved: Just few small things that would make this apartment very good: throw away the chair with worn and torn seat cover; fix the missing sink stopper(functionally it doesn't matter but gives bad impression); replace the frying pan that has deteriorated teflon and add a smaller pot for cooking smaller quantities. Also we were really missing a toaster.

  Good location and spacious living area.
  
  What could be improved: The beds were very uncomfortable.

• I'd like to go there again! – Hulda from Iceland – 9 December 2024 (10/10)

  Spacious apartment and very well placed in the old town of Riga. It's on the 3rd floor, but that was fine with us.
  
  What could be improved: The bedrooms are facing the street, so it can be noisy if you have them open. It was quite hot in the apartment, so we had to have them open during the nights. We didn't see any thermostats to lower the heat.
