We met the host; she showed us our room and other places we need to know in the hostel. Everything was clean and neat. Outside doors on lock; I felt very secure there. Definitely would stay again!

Līga United States of America

Great location, windows overlook one of the cathedrals. Lots of places to eat nearby, close to railway station and bus stops. Located in pedestrian zone - no noise from cars, air is clean.

Darkowl Russia

Great location. Close to bus station and in the center of town.

Snowninja2 United States of America

Location, location, location. The friendly, welcoming receptionist upon our arrival. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure in the shower.

Super central tiny place, recommended for everyone on budget

Diego_93 Austria

I enjoyed the location, being right in the middle of old town. The price was also very good. Ideally we just needed a place to stay and throw our bags and sleep, and Red Nose Hostel provided this to me and my friends very well.

Jared Estonia

Really central and quiet - no outdoors noise. staff was extremely friendly

Adelaide United Kingdom

The hostel is located in the historical center and close to all the important sights of Riga. Very cozy entrance, reception. Personal caring and friendly!

Александра Ukraine

Location of the accommodation was perfect, in very city center so we were able to reach most of the sights by walk. Stuff was helpful and let us store the luggage even after check out because our flight was in evening.

Justína Slovakia

The main advantage of this place is the location. You will get everywhere quickly and without any problems. The view from the window - gives you confidence that you live in the very center. Helpful staff. I highly recommend!
