Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša iela 20, Riga, LV-1050, Latvia – Great location - show map
It's really good place to stay. Friendly staff, willing to help you anytime! There are two common rooms in which you can find board games, TV, PlayStation, desktop computer, comfortable sofas and armchairs :) Good location! About 15 minutes by foot from central bus station. A lot of places to eat are near Central Hostel. I recommend this place!

RussiaWhen I arrived, well after the latest time to check in, I was greeted courteously by staff who showed me around the whole facilities and were incredibly kind and welcoming. The room itself was good, as it was set up nicely, and the bathroom right next to my room worked well and was very clean and nice to have so close by. The common areas including the kitchen were also friendly and welcoming and had good amenities.
United States of AmericaIt is outside the old town, in a quiet neighborhood, so you can certainly get a good sleep after a long day.

ChileNice and welcoming staff, common areas were tidy and clean. Posibility to get free earpods to get at the reception if its loud, nice cup of free coffe in the morning.
Albaniaoh wow. there were a lot of things. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. They helped me every time I had a question and in general were very nice. The property was definitely very clean and spacious. They offer free tea and coffee, and cocoa! It is unlimited so having a cup of tea in this cold weather was a big bonus. There is also a fully equipped kitchen if someone wants to use it. It is small but very cozy. The bathroom and the rooms, in general, were very clean. They have a storage place to leave your things when you check out- very useful when you have a late flight. They also have a game room with some games and another room for socializing.
United KingdomWe stayed in a very nice and clean double room. They had a locked room for our bicycles and the staff was very kind. There is a kitchen, free coffee and a common area.
