"We just got back from a random trip to Riga because of the cheap brilliance of ryanair and we had an amazing time, this is probably mainly due to the hostel we stayed in! As well as being the cleanest hostel with the best facilities we have all probably ever stayed in, its also the friendliest with fantastic staff. From the moment we got there we were welcomed and made to feel at home and any advice/directions were given straight away. The location of the hostel is also brilliant, really...  more »

"Cinnamon Sally Backpackers hostel is one of the best places to stay in Riga. The staff are pretty friendly and the facilities are very good.

"Friendly Fun Franks Hostel is definitely a hostel where you can count on meeting lots of other backpackers. In fact, the first thing you'll notice when you follow the hostel's directions to their front door, is the sign instructing backpackers to enter through the alley. This is a little inconvenient, as you have to be rung up from the alley each time you enter, and the people answering the bell via the intercom actually expect you to say something before they let you in, so it can get a bit...  more »

"Tucked away on a quiet side street, Riga Hostel offers the best of both worlds -- an incredible location and an inexpensive price. The hostel is located on the second through seventh floors of a typical old-town building (tall and narrow) in the center of old town Riga, literally within view of St. John's and St. Peter's. In the basement is a "gentleman's club," which the hostel advises against visiting (their information sheet posted on the walls in every room simply says, "they are not our...  more »

"Elizabeth's hostel is just outside the old town of Riga. It's relatively close to both the railway station and bus station, and on a map it looks close, but there are underpasses and traffic lights which make it confusing to negotiate the way there. To get to the bus station, keep walking along the street and keep the Stockman department store on your left hand side, and walk towards the central market. The hostel is not very well marked from the street, but there is a small sign at number...  more »

"The newly opened Profitcamp Hostel is located just off the main street in old town Riga. It's a bit off-putting to enter, considering you have to pass through a small alleyway into a dirty courtyard to reach the entrance of the hostel. Even worse, the strip club in the basement attracts a rather seedy crowd, making it uncomfortable for single/female travelers. After reaching the hostel entrance on the second floor of the building, you'll hardly notice the outside seediness -- the hostel is...  more »

"Upon first arriving at this hostel, we found about seven other people sitting on the steps outside waiting to get the rooms that they had reserved. Inside the office was an extremely unamused and stern woman who insisted that the "hostel did not accept new visitors on weekends." So, the seven people waiting outside were apparently sitting there dumbfounded, trying to figure out what they were going to do and where they were going to go for the night. When we showed her our printed...  more »
