Friendly Fun Franks Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Fantastic hostel. Very secure, they welcome you with a free beer, friendly and informative staff, and great value for the money.

great hostel with vast common areas. kitchen was especially good , there is everything u need. the only thing that i dont like is every time you enter the hostel u have to say your name and room number on intercom and pass two electronically locked doors. it feels like it is a maximum security prison.

Awesome hostel, I can't imagine anything to make it better! Cheap, warm, confortable, awesome activities and tours to do, friendly staff... The place to gowhen you go to Riga, without doubt!

I already have been in Franks Hostel the third time and I will come again!! Prieka! :) Keep going girls. You are the best ! Best hosts best tourguide best service in Riga ;) Greetz Pierre

great value for money. really good location and kitchen facilities are excellent. free breakfast was also good. can imagine this place would be epic around weekends and summertime.

I LOVE FRIENDS FRANK HOSTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =))))) I LOVE EVERYONE FROM THIS GREATE PLACE !!! BEST REGARDS, MAX FROM MOSCOW ))

Great time here. Only complaint is the showers were often luke-warm.

Great hostel location, lots of nice staff mostly very helpful and friendly. Shower at night though as the hot water runs out in the morning.

Free champagne on arrival was excellent start of our trip. Staff was nice and helpful. We had a room with wooden windows that didn't close very well, so it was a little bit cold. Free excursion ''Riga tour'' was great - u should go definitely. Also free breakfast was cool to have.

Great hostel. Bar is great, staff is good, breakfast ok. Good deal in Riga, would certainly visit again!

Really good hostel with great location and value for the money! Everything you need and very helful staff!

Hostel is brilliant, was really centrally located and easy to find, has great bar and lounge area and the kitchen facilities were great also. Beds were comfy, pillows very small though. Staff were awesome, went on both the walking tour and the pub crawl, I recommend both. Only issue was the people in our hostel room who came in every hour turned the lights on and talked loudly for 20 minutes right till 5am in morning......but this isn't an issue with the hostel! just one of those things.

Location is perfect! Toilets and showers get cleaned every hour, smells like chloride all the time :) We was upstairs in a private room. The men bathroom was on the same floor, but the women was downstairs. Very unpleasant when you need to pee in the middle of the night.. It was very quite (we stayed just after christmas) in the hostel, so that was no problem. In our room was sometimes wifi. On arrival (11am) we got a free beer, but we were allowed to drink that in the evening :)

Can't say a bad thing about this place. Best hostel i ever stayed. Had a lot of fun and would definitely go back there!

PURELY AWESOME!!!

The best&economical hostel ever! A bed/ night less than 4 eur including breakfast, and free guide tour everyday! Nice staffs, most of them are really pretty. A inner bar allows you make more friends. Very enjoy this staying.

Already told them what i think.

great place in a great location. Lots of new improvements and pleasant surprises.

This is by far the best hostel we've stayed at on our overland trip from Europe to SE Asia. All the staff were sweet and helpful, both at the hostel and on the fun regularly-organised outings. The hostel's bar was a fun social centre, while there was enough common space to simultaneously accommodate both a social scene and a laptop area. The kitchen and dining room were ample, and though the breakfast was simple (toast, jams, and Nescafe) it was appreciated. Cleanliness was impressive, etc...

They should consider to make a lift in order to be accesible to everyone.
