This hostel puts all other hostels I've stayed in worldwide to shame! It's immaculate and the bunks were solid wood! From the moment we walked in the door we felt welcome and at home! Amazing location with it situated in the Barracks that divided Old & New Riga. Wish had taken more leAve to stay longer but we'll be back... More

We enjoyed and loved our stay in Riga. The hostel is well located in the old town within walking of the main sites, centre and quiet centre. The room (double private with ensuite) was simple but beautiful and spotless we had a view of the power tower and we could heard the street musicians playing all day long and it... More

Close to everything, in an awesome referbished barracks, Blue Cow is a great place to stay. New, clean and helpfully containing both a clothes washer and a dryer, definitely worth a look!! Staff spoke great English and were really great help in giving us tips about some of the things to do and see in Riga.

I stayed 3 nights at the Blue Cow, and I enjoyed it. The staff is very friendly, and can also help with any questions about the city and activities. The rooms are spacy, and the communal area is well equiped, as well very cosy. The hostel is very clean, probably the cleanest I have ever seen. Being rather a flashpacker... More

A hostel for the upper class of the backpacker community! Absolutely beautiful hostel located in a nice quite area of the old town. The hostel couldn't possibly be cleaner or more modern. The one woman army Kristine, who does everything by herself does an incredible job! Can't fault a thing...

Been here 2 times, in summer and on new years eve and both times were excellent. This place is more like home rather than hostel. Warm carpets, nice furniture, perfect location, very open and friendly staff. Dont hesitate what to choose if you want lovely, quiet vacations. Btw they have "brother" hostel with parties and clubbing facilities

On june 2011 I was strolling through the old town looking for place to stay. The unusuall name of this hostel atrracted me from the very first moment so I jumped in to take a look and decided to stay. I stayed there two nights only because of the train for Moscow which I had to catch but Riga old... More

I stayed two nights in October in a eight-bed room, but I miss it so much! 10 minute walk to the bus and train stations. It is really a boutique-type hostel, which is like if you stayed at your friend abroad who has quite a big family. I can only confirm the best words of other reviewers. I could not... More
