A great hostel with a perfect location five minutes walk from the train or bus stations and just inside Riga’s Old Town. The five storey hostel has a range of 6 bed and 12 bed mixed dorms as well as private rooms. Prices depend on the time of year but start at about $8 for the 12 bed dorm and range up to about $28 per person for the private double room. Each dorm room has its own bathroom and showers as well as small, code-operated lockers for valuables. There is a fully-equipped kitchen in the basement as well as a sauna, and the pub on the ground floor is one of the cheapest in the Old Town. The only drawback is that it can be quite a trek up the spiral staircase if your bed is on the top floor. The single computer (at the very top of the stairs) is inadequate for servicing a hostel of this size but there is free WiFi if you bring your laptop. The staff is quite friendly for the most part.
