The breakfast was amazing. Fresh croissants every morning and it felt good knowing that the first meal of the day was taken care of. It was nice to have little chats with fellow travellers/ hostel staff at breakfast. The hotel was located right next to two shopping malls (great for buying snacks or eating indoors on days it got too cold to be out) and Riga's central train station which was super handy to plan day trips. Christian, Alberto and Agnes (hope I got the spellings right) were absolute gems! So helpful, lovely folks to just chat with. Feel like I've made new friends from around the world. :)

Fantastic location and accommodation! I loved perfectly clean rooms, bathrooms and small details, such as chocolate on each pillow. Communication with Dmitrijs was easy, and the option to do laundry and ironing was just ideal. I could also leave my backpack in a locker even after the checkout, since I had a late night departure.

The hostel is right in the old town area, so the location couldn't be better. It is quite large with several floors and many rooms. The staff is super helpful. The rooms are nice, beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. The shower area and bathroom are more than sufficient. Good security. The hostel has some super pleasant common areas that are always very busy. Good vibe

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.
