When looking for a hotel in Riga the first challenge is that the first two pages of Google are taken up by hotel booking agents. Hostels in Riga provide a better option for travellers staying in Riga from the start as we are easy to find on Google. Argonaut hostel in Riga's Old Town is well located and some of the services are better than hotels in Riga.
Argonaut Hostel uses the Smart Key Card entry system, Double Bed Rooms as well as Twin, Triple and Quad bed rooms, Free Wifi and Internet Computer access.
On the ground floor Argonaut Hostel now has a Thai/Chinese restaurant that is far better than many hotels in Riga can offer.
A private room at Argonaut is priced as much as 1/4 to 1/2 the price of a hotel room in Riga. www.argonauthostel.com

Travelling from or to Tallinn from or to Riga Latvia
Tallinn in Estonia is north of Riga in Latvia. To Get to Riga easy you need to take a bus. The Bus Station in Tallinn is located on the edge of the Old Town http://www.tallinnhostels.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=5 On the corner of Kai and Kuunari Streets. (North east on this map)
Here are some buses you can catch to Riga http://www.tallinnhostels.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7&Itemid=10
Trains to Riga from Tallinn are only just now operating and erratically. Better to wait till 2009 to consider using the train.
A Bus takes 5 hours to get to Riga. They take the route via Parnu . If you have time in Summer to stop at Parnu then it will be a smart ting to do. http://www.tallinnhostels.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=8&Itemid=11 lists a good hostel in Parnu called Louna.
The alternate Route to Riga is via Tartu in Estonia and Aluksne in North East Latvia.
In Tartu you can stay at Teviseks Hostels http://www.tallinnhostels.eu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9&Itemid=12
Stop in at Voru as described on the webpage above and make your way to Riga. There is no border guard anymore so if you are in Estonia then you will get in to Latvia no problem.
