Great staff, checkin experience was really good. The lady was very enthusiastic and showed us around and to the room too (and I checked in post 6 pm). Room was comfortable Toilets were clean Location is walkable (around 1 km) to old town. The weekly Wednesday folk dancing experience is not to be missed. Join that for sure. That was my best cultural experience in all of Europe. Breakfast is good.

It was a great price and although the kitchen and bathroom wasn’t always spotless, it wasn’t the failure of the host, it was the other guests who are not respectful. There is a huge variety of tea plus coffee that can be enjoyed all day long. The apples were provided ( although some people obviously take more than enough for one snack!) The host responses were fast and friendly. Easy to find and to access.

Great location near the train station and also quite close to bus station. Around 150 meters from the nearest shopping center. Room was quite ok for 2 adults and 4 children. Although we were hoping for a little more space to put our luggage.

All hostels in Rīga

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Great location in the centre of Riga and close to bus and train stations. Next to that the breakfast is great and the hostel has a good balance of social activities without becoming disturbing for travellers. Great value for money and a must try when going to Riga.

Perfect hostel with all the ingredients that a backpacker looks for, even in the small details ! Amazing vibe, with nice staff, different activities proposed, great location, delicious breakfast, free towel, clean bathrooms, nice rooms, etc. They give you a map with suggestions to visit. You can let your bag after the check out if needed. Free coffee all day <3

Great location in Riga old town. Friendly staff, very clean, and the curtains on the bunk beds offer some privacy. Each bed has a single power outlet and a light. Tea and coffee is available at all times in the kitchen, and there are common areas with board games for chilling. A nice hostel with good value for money 🙂

Very social hostel with kind staff and equally kind other backpackers. The breakfast was great, and the hostel-organised activities such as the pubcrawl were fun too. Very nice place to meet new people with good facilities.
