Red Nose Hostel  

Tucked down a quiet cobbled backstreet in Riga’s Old Town, Red Nose Hostel sits just behind St. Jana Church. Walk out and you’re minutes from St. Peter’s Church, Dome Square, the Latvian National Opera, Menzendorff House/House of the Blackheads and the main Riga Tourism Information Centre. The airport bus stop is about a 5‑minute walk and boat trips to Jūrmala or along the Daugava are within easy walking distance—perfect for backpackers and family-friendly stays alike.

Newly opened and compact, the hostel accommodates about 43 guests across dorms and smaller private rooms. Choose from 2-, 4-, 6- or 10-bed rooms, or one of the individually decorated private rooms with pillowtop beds. Rooms are clean and bright, many with sweeping Old Riga views; bed linen is included and some floors feature small self-service kitchens for basic meal prep.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property, shared showers and WCs on each floor, a terrace with city views, and playrooms for kids. Staff run a tour/ticket desk and can arrange transfers. On-site services include laundry, luggage storage and a safe-deposit box. Multilingual, 24‑hour reception keeps things easy and lively.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the hostel. Rooms include desks on request and there’s secure luggage storage—handy for groups, students or teams passing through.

No full-service restaurant on site, but dozens of restaurants, cafés, bars and nightclubs are a short stroll away. Make coffee and watch Old Town wake up from your window, or use the small self-service kitchens on select floors for quick, budget-friendly meals.
