the place is quite nice. For travellers who like to stay in the center of center it's great, but it's also laud. The owner's english is poor, and she give only 5% discount for members card but she is very nice.

Per quanto riguarda la posizione è probabilmente il migliore ostello di Riga. Si potrebbe fare di più per quanto riguarda l'organizzazione di eventi o servizi, in ogni caso per trascorrere un week-end è buono, ci tornerei!

Hostel Overview

Located in the centre of UNESCO listed historic Riga Old Town. 1830's renovated building overlooking Doma square (Doma laukums) and Doma church (13th century) - the highest church in Riga. Within 100 metres to Latvian tourist office and museums. Within 20 metres to traditional Latvian cheap food and bars.

The very centre of Latvia is Old Riga, and the very heart of it is Doma square which is considered to be among the favourite places for Latvian citizens. The square is the centre of history of the town where cultural events, Folk dancing, music concerts, summer outside bars and live music happens. Also cheap, great food.

So much to do or chill out in Riga Old Town.
