The Hostel positioned at the edge of the old town. Very clean, staff pleasant and helpful, and best of all a 24hr bar :) more

Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. Recommend the bar crawl, even though I don't remember much about it, and the shooting range in a Soviet bunker is surreal and should be tried. Great location in old Riga 5 minute walk from all the site seeing attractions. more

I just loved staying in this hostel. It's in the center of Riga, a wonderful small city with crazy nights! Staff, mainly Adam, will take you to bars and clubs, and you'll definitely meet people and have fun. The best hostel I've been at. more

Having read all the reviews, I didn't believe a hostel could be that good. But it really, really was. We received a complimentary beer from Frank on arrival, the rooms were spotless, bathrooms clean (every hour), showers hot and powerful, 24 hour bar with great prices comfortable seats and UK subscription sports on TVs, the place had a brilliant atmosphere,... more

I am a bit older than the average hostel guest (41), and I was a bit afraid of the party reputation that Frank's has. I was pleasantly surprised! I had booked a single room and was not at all bothered by noise or other partying going on. The staff is truly exceptional - friendly and helpful. The location is outstanding,... more

This place is so much more than a place to stay. It was clean, social, and close to all of the relevant places in Riga. The organisation was excellent. We were a group of 4 men who went to Riga to for an escape. The staff are a credit to the organisation and planned trips out and looked after us... more

I've stayed in hostels around Europe but this place has to be one that stands out in my memory! The owner is fantastic and the price is right. Riga is a beautiful city with lots to do and very picturesque. It was one of the highlights of my tour of the Baltics. If you are visiting the city with friends... more

Definately must be the best hostel to stay in Riga. The price varies dependant on the day of the week but I paid the princely sum of €4 a night. From Riga airport the public bus number 22 drops you on the main road opposite the hostel so it is really easy to get there. The staff are the friendliest... more
