1st reason not to go to this hostel is that there is a serious bed bug infestation. We have all had to come home and attempt to get rid of any bed bugs that will have almost definitely got into our luggage and I am still finding bites. 2nd reason is that the breakfast is the worst I've seen in...

Ideal place for a group if you are not stuck up about staying somewhere fancy. There were 6 of us and we booked a 6 bed dorm with a view on to the river. The Staff were excellent and very helpful. The activities on offer were very good, I recommend shooting! Plenty of Beer in the fridge also. It is... More

We stayed for three nights on my stag do, we had a 6 bed dorm with ensuite. We were not your typical stag party but did go out drinking but behaved ourselves and got the respect of the girls working in the hostel - so much so that we got some presents bought for us when we were leaving.

We stayed for two nights on my stag do, we had a 8 bed dorm. We used the hostels pickup/drop off service from the airport that was hassle free and the driver was welcoming and informative. We got a free beer each at check in, the staff were very welcoming. We then had a guide booked exclusively to take us... More

Arrived drunk, was drunk for the duration and left drunk so I can't really go into too many specifics. Perfect for a stag party, really friendly staff, adequate facilities and great location. 24 hour bar was a bonus and even at 7am in the morning the staff are friendly and chatty. Would stay again under similar circumstances

This hostel was really fun, had a great time here. The location was convenient, very close to the city centre. All the staff were really friendly. If planning a trip to Riga, this is the place to stay.

Great start to a stag do, 14 of us arrive and straight to the bar where we had a free beer and a briefing by the great staff. If you are after a cheap friendly hostel central with a 24 hour bar then this is the place. If they had of sold spirits we would have stayed in the bar... More

Staff at Franks are very friendly and helpful and willing to answer any questions you might have, there is a free beer on arrival, the bar is open 24 hours, there is no curfew and the location is brillant in the old town- close to all the main attractions and there are lots of different tours available. The pub crawl... More
