Fantastic location. Right on the old square and only 10-15 minute walk from bus or train station which is ideal for day trips to Kemeri, Jurmala, Sigulda. Each bed has its own pod with reading light, 1 socket and a curtain. The staff were very friendly and check in procedure was clear. They are only at reception between 10-5 though but they can answer any questions via booking’s messenger service. They did this very quickly for me! Some reviewers complain about it being too noisy or loud. If you book a dorm that has “inner courtyard” view it’s quiet and doesn’t face the loud square! I stayed in a 10 bed en suite dorm and had a great sleep. Finally, the kitchen was always clean.

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.
