The common room looks like a living room :-) There is a coffee machine, 7 types of tea, drinking water, armchairs, sofa... really nice and like being at home. Even the dorms look like a room from a real home. You can have your clothes washed and the staff is helpful and English speaking.

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.

Good location, decent price. Everything was orderly and well maintained. Good common kitchen, good coffee - a life saver since barely anybody serves filter coffee in Riga. Everything was just smooth.

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.
