The hostel is located in the very center of Old Town, right on the Dome Square. As it is downtown, there is no trafic; the place is very quiet. 6-7 minutes walking from the stop of the bus #22 from the airport, 20-25 minutes walking from the Central Bus Station and from the Central Railway Station. Clean, the toilets and the showers are in a very good condition. There are curtains, individual lights and electric sockets in the bunk beds; very spacious lockers and good mattresses, good Wi-Fi everywhere. In the kitchen there is a decent set of cups, plates, cutlery, frying pans, etc. plus tea, instant coffee and sugar (on the house). Friendly and helpful staff, there is someone at the reception from 11 till 18. You'll be given lots of keys - to your room, to your floor, to the 3d floor, where the kitchen and the common rooms are, and to your locker. The keys are painted the same colour as the corresponding locks (brilliant idea!).

This is my 3rd time staying in this hostel and it's definitely not my last time. The overall vibe of the hostel is homey. Everything is a short walking distance away (Old Town, Central Market, Shopping centre).

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.

The facilities were great and the staff were phenomenal! It’s a very social and friendly environment but if you’d like to be on your own there is also a second common area where it’s usually quiet.

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.
