I loved the location. In a central part of Riga with many cafes, restaurants and shops but still walkable to the old town! The facilities are fantastic! The foyer and kitchen are updated and modern. My room was great for one person, but could be a tighter fit for two. The bathroom was updated, clean and adequate. Check in process was easy and had no issues during the stay so I didn't see any hotel personnel.

The manager was very helpful and available all the time (and so was his young daughter)! There is a washer and some drying racks, so we were able to do laundry in house. The free breakfast and snack area was awesome, with free bread eggs yogurt milk jam; with a few more ingredients from the convenience store nearby, we were able to have breakfast and dinner in and skip past tourist traps.

The staff was very attentive, helpful and just great vibes! We attended different activities during our stay and the host was great at making us all feel like a "group", getting to know each other and just making the time such fun - special shout out to Rachel, who did such a great job! All in all we would definitely recommend people staying here when visiting Riga.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
