Riga Old Town Hostel & Backpackers Pub Reviews

Hi, I was there on last Friday and Saturday nights with 9 friends. We had a very nice time in Riga and at your hostel, but I had a bad surprise today. We had initially booked for 3 nights and 14 people, but due to a strike on Monday in Belgium, only 10 of us eventually travelled and we had to fly back to Brussels on Sunday. I had paid a LVL22 deposit on 6 January (see below), but we could not pay the rest on Sunday since you had a computer breakdown. I've just found out that LVL205 have been transfered

GREAT!!!!!

I enjoyed my stay very much- mostly due to the very nice staff and will definitely come back and recommend it to my friends.

Location is perfect, very close to stop of the airport bus and train station, only 5 minutes walk from the old city. Very friendly personnel. Rooms are tidy, massage shower is available. Would like to recommend anyone.

Friendly staff and a very good value for money

Very good hostel for backpackers. The prize-quality relation is excellent. Very well located, right next to the bus station and the old town. The staff was very nice, specially the irish man in reception, who will recommend you a lot of things (like what to see or where to go for take a drink or two). For this prize, would go again.

Nice staff and good beer!

This hostel is located above a nice bar with nice staff. The room was basic and the bathrooms were a let-down. On arrival the toilet room floor was wet (there was a soaked towel). The shower room was dirty and smelled. I showered in the morning right after the cleaning lady gave the shower room a quick sweep but still didn't like it much—particularly, the mat in the shower room looked unhygienic. Also concerning was the condensation on the windows and black spots in the corners of the ceiling.

Absolutely fantastic location in the centre of old town near bus station and the head railway. Nice staff and creative backpackers pub with very fun atmosphere. Recommend for staying in Riga.

Nice location, very polite people, always trying to help you, and one Pub very fun.

VERY CLOSE TO BUS STATION, EXCELLENT FRIENDLY STAFF MANAGED BY JOHN. NICE LOCATION. WARMLY RECOMMEND.

Top Man running the hostel. Fair play to you Seany

Excellent, would recommend and go again

It was great!!!

just an ordinary hostel, made much more insteresting by the bar. good location near the main bus stop

Perfect Hostel with excellent location. 2 min from the Bus to/from the Airport and only minuts away from all the fun the Old town has to offer.. Best staff ever and your check-in is IN the actual Bar :) Only hazzle for us was that the 6 doorm we stayed in was located on the 5th floor (with no lift) But it was a good way to ''sober up'' after too many Riga Balzams before bed tho ;)

I like this hostel more than Franks!

Nice place the pub are cool!!!

Great location near the train and bus station, and enjoyed the bar area/reception - perfect for meeting new people! Helpful staff too.

Location is right in the city center.The Irish owner John is great and his staff behind the bar/reception is great.Had so much fun staying here!Place was clean ans was happy to have own toilet and shower in the dorm room.No breakfast incl.but you can cook your own food in downstairs kitchen.
