Top Hostels in Latvia
Cinnamon Sally Backpackers Hostel
Riga
Cinnamon Sally sits at Merฤทeฤผa iela 1, directly opposite Riga Central Station and a five-minute walk to the Old Town. Famous in Baltic backpacker circles for its homemade breakfast, bottomless free coffee and a strict adults-only, no-stag-party policy that keeps the vibe travel-sociable rather than chaotic.
Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel
Riga
Naughty Squirrel has been Riga's headline party hostel since 2007, a three-minute walk from Town Hall Square and home to the 24-hour on-site bar that runs beer pong, trivia and movie nights on rotation. Australian-owned, dog-friendly, and famous for organizing the Latvian Olympic bobsled trip in Sigulda and the AK-47 shooting day at the firing range outside town.
Blue Bird Boutique Hostel - Riga Old Town
Riga
Blue Bird sits inside a historic Art Nouveau building on Tirgoลu iela, two minutes from Dome Square in the heart of Riga's Old Town. A boutique take on the capsule hostel format: curtained bunks with private reading lights, parquet floors, a stained-glass ceiling in the common room, and an adults-only door policy that keeps it calm.
Central Hostel Riga
Riga
Central Hostel Riga is the budget-first family-run option on Ernesta Birznieka-Upฤซลกa iela, a ten-minute walk from Old Town and four minutes from Vฤrmanes Garden. Private check-in, a working shared kitchen with free tea, coffee and fruit, and a quiet garden backyard for summer evenings. โฌ16 dorm beds put it at the cheap end of Riga's hostel scene.
Elizabeth's YH Rooms
Riga
Elizabeth's sits on Elizabetes iela, literally next door to Origo shopping center and a two-minute walk from Riga Central Station.

Couples rate the location 9.3 and it picks up family bookings other Riga hostels can't handle.
Hedgehogs Backpackers Hostel
Riga
Hedgehogs sits on the second floor of the same Merฤทeฤผa iela 1 building as Cinnamon Sally, opposite Riga Central Station. The split is clear: Cinnamon Sally does breakfast and quiet, Hedgehogs does the bar, karaoke, ping-pong and live music nights. In-house restaurant, mini-mart, 24-hour front desk and a 9.6 couples location rating anchor it.
