About Riga Old Town Hostel & Backpackers Pub


Located in a historic Hanzeatic old town, a mere 6 minutes stroll from the bus/train stations. A 24 hour reception (If you arrive for the 'double/single or tripple bed private ensuite' rooms later then 22.00, please inform us before arrival, because the rooms are 4 min walk away from the main hostel building and we will make sure that somebody is there to take you to the room :)
A place for today's traveller to meet other backpackers or locals.

The private rooms are in a seperate apartment. In a building right next to the main Hostel. There are only two rooms in the aparment. The shower, bathroom and kitchen is for sharing between both.

For those who want privacy:
You are welcome to book 'double/single or tripple bed private ensuite'. The rooms are in a newly renovated apartment located three blocks (five minutes walk) from our Valnu street hostel.
The beds are from pure wood and there is a private bathroom in each room. As the rooms are very close to the hostel you are always welcomed to come over to cook your lunch, surf in the internet or have a friendly talk with other hostel guests.

Two floors of the 5-storey building are dedicated to easy, friendly interaction with a bar at street level and a fully-equipped self-catering kitchen in the basement. A sauna and laundry is available for a small additional charge. Instead of being an 'overnight factory' we tried to design a place for travellers to meet, discuss previous travels and plan new ones. Live music on tuesday evenings.. and if you know how to play- there is a guitar waiting for you, and we will sing along!

A FRIENDLY WARNING- WE DO NOT SUPPORT STAG PARTIES!
