All you could want in a hostel. Sure I've been to other hostels that included more luxury, but also at a higher price point. Staff was very nice, delicious breakfast included (those waffles were the best!!). Towels, linen, soap and shampoo is also included. I will definitely choose this hostel again next time i go to Riga, no questions asked.

The common room looks like a living room :-) There is a coffee machine, 7 types of tea, drinking water, armchairs, sofa... really nice and like being at home. Even the dorms look like a room from a real home. You can have your clothes washed and the staff is helpful and English speaking.

Clean. Calm down. Good roommates. Extra clean shower. The price is high. The room is cold. Many complain that there is no elevator. But it wasn't even written that he was there. The room is suitable for tidy travelers but not for capricious princesses. The room is tidy, there are not many things. I liked it.

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.
