Definitely the best Hostel in Riga and Latvia. I stayed here twice whilst in Latvia! Super friendly and helpful Christine & Ikari!🙏🏻💚 Very obliging staff. Make you feel at home. Cozy , clean ,comfortable, great value for money. Best location, right in the centre. I've stayed in many hostels all over the world and this is one of the best.The owner is also a well travelled guy so he knows what it takes to make a great hostel. This isn't a party hostel.It's some where to rest and take a break from the road. Highly recommended!

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.

    The hotel is quite close to the city center. It’s a 10-15 minute walk. The area felt safe at night, even though it might not seem like that at first glance. Great value for money! The breakfast was nice, wide selection. This is a cheap hotel, and it is better than you would expect! Staff was friendly and the room was confy. Walls are thin but we could sleep with earplugs without a problem :)

    The hotel was close to the train station, just across the street which also included a shopping centre there. Very cheap stay, good value for money. The cafe/restaurant was okay not a big deal, nice bar and cheap drinks. Breakfast was okay, a lot of choices to pick from, ranging from sweet to savoury.

    Great location - 5 min on foot to the train station, 10 min to the bus station, the old town and Opera, 20 min to the Art Nouveau district. The surroundings felt safe, all the fast food chains can be found a few steps away. A really good variety of food at breakfast, plenty of it even on the last half of the hour. Always someone at the registration table, cleaning personnel quiet. Well renovated, everything looks new and well kept.

    This was a really good value, friendly place to stay and within 10 minutes walk of the main tourist sites in town. It was quite 'no frills' kind of place but we wanted cheap, clean, safe and central and it was all of that. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was good enough and plentiful.
