Managed by Darta (Latvian) and River (Canadian)
Owned by Dean (Australian) and Liva (Latvian)
This small, quiet, clean and friendly hostel is only 5-10 minutes walk from EVERYTHING (that's worth seeing) in Riga! in case you do want to venture further afield there's a tram/bus stop 30 seconds away (with the train and bus station 2 stops away).
We have located our hostel by choice in the best area of Riga. We are In a clean and safe part of town.
We have a 4 security door system with a single easy to use electronic smart card. Each dorm bed has its own underbed locker that can fit your whole bag, our fire safety system is directly connected to the Fire Department and CCTV cameras monitor entry points.
Because we only have a maximum of 25 guests at any time you get much more personal attention than you would in larger hostels and we're happy to spend some time giving directions and passing on our local knowledge of places to go and things to see. Our reception staff is always available to help make sure you enjoy your stay in Riga and have the perfect day of sightseeing and night of partying.
This is not a "party hostel" but we do have a HUGE fridge full of cheap beer/drinks. So feel free to hang out on the couches, watch the big screen TV (movies available) and have a few (and maybe a few more) pre-party drinks with the other guests. As the night gets going the staff will be heading out to find (or start) the party elsewhere so come along for some good times, or just ask for tips about where to go. Riga's night life is amazing when you know the right places!
We also have a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, free coffee/tea and even a blender! There is a supermarket only two blocks away for self catering and plenty of nice, cheap restaurants within a couple of minutes walk. Nearby you will find traditional Latvian food as well as Indian, Japanese, Lebanese, burger, pizza and coffee shops.
Of course we have free internet access on the computer in the lounge and free wifi all over the hostel if you're carrying your own laptop.
