seems good value for money > dirt cheap deal in booking.com and well situated hostel, comfortable parking if you come with your car. BUT BEWARE of BEDBUGS! normal hostel could not afford this kind of issue for long. information travels at light speed. stayed on 2nd floor room # 26. hostel owners should take this issue very seriously.

The double-bed room is clean and designed. The location is good but not that near from the train station (10-15 minutes walking distance), and around 15-25 minutes walking distance to the old town area. Breakfast is so-so. The Staff is very friendly and helpful.Toilette and shower room is clean.

I spent 3 nights at the central hostel and I must say I enjoyed my stay. Definitely value for money and the staff were really helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend this hostel to anyone travelling to Riga.

I stayed in this hostel whilst attending a training course and it was pretty comfortable as rooms are divded into apartments so all the people in our apartment were people attending the same training. Although bathrooms are shared, one will only need to share with 5-6 other people as each apartment has 2 bathrooms which were cleaned daily. Rooms are... More

I am Latvian myself but moved abroad, when I go to Riga for visits I always but always choose Central Hostel in the capital of Latvia. I have stayed in Central Hostel 2 years ago and next time will stay in October 2012- will write another review about new experience in a different room, but I am confident this is... More

Good Hostel in Riga, which is about 20 minutes walk from Old Town, with free parking for guests and simple breakfast, very helpful stuff, in a pretty quiet area, and not too far from main roads in town.
