Vāgnera Rezidence Overview
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first walked up to Vāgnera Rezidence on Riharda Vāgnera iela, I wasn’t expecting much. I mean, it’s tucked away on this quiet street in central Rīga, and from the outside it looks almost understated compared to some of the flashier places nearby. But you know what? That’s exactly what makes it work.
The thing about this place is that it gets the details right in ways that actually matter. The rooms have this sort of refined comfort that feels authentic rather than trying too hard – think quality linens that don’t crinkle when you move, and windows that actually block out the street noise (which, honestly, isn’t much of an issue since Wagner Street is pretty peaceful anyway). What really struck me was how they’ve managed to feel genuinely Latvian without going overboard with the traditional décor thing. The breakfast setup is surprisingly good too – not just the usual continental spread, but local touches that make sense. I found myself lingering over coffee longer than I usually do.
The location is one of those happy accidents that works better than you’d expect. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from the Opera House – I mean, given the street name, that’s probably not a coincidence – and you can easily wander over to the old town without dealing with the tourist crush that hits some of the more obvious hotel zones. There’s decent parking nearby if you’re driving, though honestly, once you’re there you won’t need the car much. The staff actually knows the neighborhood well enough to give you proper recommendations, not just the obvious tourist spots. They pointed me toward this little café on Elizabetes iela that I never would have found otherwise. Check-in was smooth, no weird upselling pressure or anything like that. The whole experience just felt… well, grown-up, I guess. Like they assume you’re a reasonable person who wants a good place to stay without a lot of fuss. That 9.4 rating makes sense once you’ve been there – it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in Rīga, but it delivers on what it promises in a way that leaves you planning to come back next time you’re in town.

Really liked it! – Dace from Latvia – 11 May 2025 (10/10)
All good and equipped!
What could be improved: Maybe a tv or a music could be added but as I see from the pictures that probably was a temporary miss but it didn’t really bother us.Exceptional – Eduards from Latvia – 17 March 2025 (10/10)

Amazing and cozy apartment in the city center, definetely going to come back. Worth of staying. Host is amazing and very helpful too. Worth of staying in here if you wish to spend a night with a bit more luxury style. 10/10, nothing to add
Great Old Riga themed apartment – Ugis from Norway – 5 April 2024 (9/10)
Place is amazing. Style of apartment is great. Utilities are pretty decent and more than traveler might need. Fridge, washing machine and all dishes, kitchen smaller equipment (boil water etc).
What could be improved: Missing wifi. And tv but considering style apartment is made in tv wouldn't fit in it.Wonderful apartment, exactly the same as in the photo, very clean! We will definitely come back! – Irina from Spain – 17 February 2024 (10/10)
Wonderful apartment, exactly the same as in the photo, very clean! We will definitely come back!
What could be improved: Wonderful apartment, exactly the same as in the photo, very clean! We will definitely come back!Very good – Christ from Switzerland – 27 May 2024 (8/10)
Location and facilities were great!
We really liked how classy it was designed and how much space it provided.
The washing machine was a big plus.
Owner allowed us to drop our bags early and leave them longer after check-out.
What could be improved: Missing wifi and a shower.
The owner went silent all if a sudden.
I hope nothing happened but it was unfortunate for our stay.Disappointing – Dmitri from Estonia – 24 May 2024 (4/10)
Location
What could be improved: The location is good, but the bathroom is very uncomfortable. The shower flow is poor, and the bathtub has no shower enclosure. If you don’t finish showering in 5 minutes, you have to wait for the boiler to heat the water again. Visiting the apartment with a child would be very inconvenient. The apartment is large and spacious, but street noise is very audible.Чистий кайф – Tetiana from Lithuania – 10 May 2025 (9/10)
Спинилась вдруге в цьому приміщенні. Мене вражає тут краса і любов до деталей, порцелянові чашки і красиві меблі. Центр міста, у вас все поряд.
Дуже красиво і вишукано, затишно як вдома.
Якщо є змога, то господар запросить вас раніше, в мене вийшло що мені дозволили заселятись раніше на 4 години, що дуже було доречним, адже я з довгої подорожі була втомлена.
What could be improved: Єдина складність – це бойлер. Адже якщо ви хочете прийняти ванну одразу, то у вас не вийде. Тож після заселення – маєте його ввімкнути і потім за кілька годин зможете насолоджуватися на всі 💯.
