Argonaut Hostel Riga Latvia Blog

Dudes thank the Argonaut Gods for Blogs. Without this blog we at Argonaut Hostel in Riga would only have each other to enlighten on what we learn and experience running a hostel in New Europe :-)

The first topic of discussion is to do with Customers. We call you all Guests because you are our guest. We all have Latvian heritage and are keen to enable you to see more of Latvia than the average Joe. Here at Argonaut we have internal and external customers. Staff are internal and guests are external. Some external guests get so close to internals that they almost become internals. But that is another story.
Obnoxious guests that agrivate our lovely staff end up crossing the line where internal customers become more important that external customers. Not so many guests do this but the fact that the Staff know they have rights enables them to provide a better service to the guests that we like the most.
It is a challenge to attract the guests we like. We certainly write on our website www.argonauthostel.com that stags are Not Welcome. Hens are Welcome. But then how do we attract the people we can have fun with? You know - genuine travellers. People that want to see more than just a pub when in Latvia. Getting married to a Latvian is something we will support but Strip Clubs we work on exterminating.

So what do you think of our philosophy so far?
