| I was highly satisfied with the accommodation at Barons Hostel. Though not directly located in old town, everything is within reach. Very helpful staff. Only for travellers with huge amounts of baggage - it is in the 5th floor, it will be a sport activity. However, there were no mosquitos in the sleeping room, which are widespread in Riga during summer, so itwas absolutely worth carrying all my luggage. | ||

| Hostel was everything a hostel should be! Its a small hostel with only a few rooms, which makes at feel like your staying at a mates place. Freddy who runs the hostel is a champ, he looks after his guests and gives great advice on what to do in Riga. Sincerly recommend his hostel! | ||

| The owner, Fred was VERY helpful. This hostel had one of the best kitchens and common rooms that I have seen (with books and movies for guest use, as well as free breakfast). We were leaving earlier than breakfast was available and the owner accommodated us by showing us where he keeps the food for the guests and inviting us to help ourselves. Not only did they have wi-fi (free) but a computer with internet to use for free and printing available for very cheap. Also very clean and quiet which was much appreciated.
I was in a unique situation as I am 23 and travelling with my 51 year old mother and this place was a great, budget friendly option (as hostels are not always the best place for older travellers). | ||
