Spacious, clean rooms on a lovely street just off one of the main thoroughfares in Centrs (Brīvības iela). Very little street noise. Within walking distance of the main attractions and numerous good eateries, and close to public transport. Liene (hotel management) was excellent on communication and allowed me to store my bag on site after the check-out time.

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 🙂
