The location is excellent, which is close to the train/bus station. Riga is not a huge city to walk around, so it's quite convenient for backpackers. Since it's in the central place, keeping the window open during the night could be a bit noisy. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple but fine. There are... More

We stayed there for 4 nights. Great location. Hostel is located opposite the train station. Inside the train station building there is a large Rimi supermarket - open until midnight. If you like junk food you will be happy - on the ground floor there is McDonald's. The hostel is close to the city center. Amazing staff, friendly and very... More

The hostel is great. Very nice desk lady welcomed me in the hostel and advised what to see in Riga. The room was very simple, but clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were available in few places. Mine was next to my room so I felt like it was my private one. Breakfest was very nice. Choice of jams and other vegetable... More

I spent 3 nights in this hostel. It is a very valuable place to stay in the heart of Riga. You can reach the city center in around 10 minutes on foot. Oposite to the hostel there is a railway station and Rimi market, where you can buy anything you need to eat or drink. The staff is amazing, always... More

rather clean hostel with all the needed facilities available. nice location and free breakfast gives it a plus. Staff is nothing special though. Though not unkind, they didn't seem too open for conversation either. Especially that reception guy with funny haircut turned out to be a total nutcase. Accidentally pressing the reception bell resulted in an irritated "dont do that"and... More

In Riga Hostel I experienced very good treatment by working staff. This obviously is hostel, not hotel, so demands or expectations should be reasonable. Hostel was clean (rooms, common area and bathrooms as well), staff was friendly both in terms of helping You in sightseeing and Riga's nightlife. In common room You can meet many socializing youths, so it's no... More

The Riga hostel is in a nice location in the old town of Riga so everything is quite near. In the downstairs of the building is a night club where you shoudn't go, but the night club otherwise does not make any problems. The staff in the hostel is nice and helpfull. The rooms are basic and there is everything... More

We where looking find a small nice place in the old city, surprisingly, there are not too many places and in the high season of the summer many were full, so we took this cheap hostel, it was ok if all what you need is to sleep Good location and cheap. Don't expect anything more.

Riga hostel was more than we could have imagined... while the sign for a lounge was a little confusing, we went upstairs and were greeted by a jubilant, helpful staff who immediately showed us our room and the kitchen that often has free foods and teas, etc. to grab at will. The staff invited us to the birthday party of... More
