Tree House, hotel in Rīga

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Tree House offers accommodation in Rīga, 350 metres from Latvian National Opera and the surrounding park where you will find the Freedom Monument.

I felt that many people shared creative energy there. I liked thick wooden beds and dim light, books, plates, interior overall and feeling of home at some point + the map where newcomers pin their flags.

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.

    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 🙂

    Nice, affordable place with discount(making it actually cheaper in price than most youth hostels), walkable to most sites in the city centre, check-in is easy, inner space is decent and roomy (as most places in Riga), and the room is well heated up in a damp, cold Spring.

    everything is clean, staff is helpful and friendly, and no complaints on the location. a great hostel! It's a tidy, friendly, cheap and nice atmosphere. Close enough to walk around the city and see sights without getting public transport – if you're on a budget, this is the perfect place to stay.
