What a lovely hostel, staff welcoming and friendly, the range of activities organised through the hostel are great, we went bobsleighing and it was possibly the scariest thing i have ever done. The hostel is ideally located, and as for the next door neighbours, well check them out for yourself!! Kitchen area small but easily accesible and the living area... more

My wife and I had a fantastic stay here in Riga once we moved into Argonauts from Riga Hostel (dodgy). Staff were extremely helpful, warm and friendly. If you need any tips just ask them, they know their stuff. The rooms are clean (stayed in dorm one night and double room other nights both very nice), secure and the facilities... more

Went over to Riga for the NI match. Hostel was very easy to find and very central to all bars, etc. There was only 3 of us but we had booked a private room for 4 which was just 2 sets of bunkbeds, which were surprisingly very comfortable, spare bed linen and towels were left out for us. The showers,... more

Myself and 7 female friends have just returned from a weekend trip to Riga where we had planned to stay in an HI hostel, the Argonaut Hostel which we had booked in November 2006. We chose this particular hostel as it is HI registered and as myself and most of my friends have travelled extensively around the world we have... more

Stayed here for a boys weekend back in December 2006. The location is great, very central and next to a strip club if you are that way inclined. We were lucky, getting a room with one bunk bed each for the 5 of us. Accomodation is basic and a little worn but seemed clean, as did the bathrooms and communal... more

We arrived at the Hostel Argonaut in Riga - tucked between a nasty strip club and tiny apartments - to find they had completely messed up our booking. Not an ideal start. However, after being bribed with cans of free Latvian beer by the manager - a drunk American in a comedy turban - and having been promised our own... more

Stayed there one night. I can only consider this hostel as a rip off if you want a private room. 53 Euros was the reduced mid-week rate and you don't receive anything else than a room with an okay bed, but don't think about sleeping, at least before 6 AM, that is the time, the night club right underneath the... more

I found this hostel to have an interesting mix between angelic and devilish. Angelic reception staff happy to assist and have discussions. Devilish staff keen to get guests out on extreme adventure tours like bobsleigh. Very good location in the very surprisingly interesting Old Town. Riga is a must see and some of this hostels tours are a must do. more

I thought the facilities were quite good. The toilets and showers were clean, the bunks were clean and comforatble. The kitchen was the best one we saw on the whole trip. However, the odd thing was that our dorm room was nearly empty when we went to bed, then completely filled up with people who checked in at midnight, and... more
