Hostels in Riga Latvia

What hostels are there in Riga Latvia? www.rigahostels.lv list the best hostels in Latvia. Two in Riga and one in Liepaja. There are many other hostels in Riga that provide a bit of a crap shoot to jag a decent experience. Nearly all hostels in Riga offer free internet.

What the best hostels offer are lockers for free, Late checkout, free bed linen with towel, Common Room with Movies, Bar, Kitchen, 24 Hr reception, Tours, Helpful staff, and free guide books.

So if you are not getting that above then you are not getting value for money. Of course Fire Safety, Security or Doors, Fun Atmosphere, Cleanliness, and a good location in the old town of Riga are most important and offered by only a few hostels.

The Lonely Planet guy that stayed in Riga a month checking out all hostels said that many hostels 'show you your bed and that's it' no trying to make you feel welcome or like you are at home. No hostel in Riga is all things for all people but some definitely have no things for all people :-)
