Fun Franks

by IndoBound

If you're staying in a Hostel - stay here. Fun Franks is by far the best Hostel in town, not so much for the quality (average) but it is very well run, a lot of fun and they provide invaluable advice to all travellers on Riga town.

PS - If you do stay here, print a map off as there is virtually no sign on the door (for conservation of the buildings & area).

Friendly Fun Franks: Best place you could ever stay!

by loopyloooo

We only chose this hostel cos it was the cheapest (it had only just opened and wasn't very busy) and it ended up being the best place I have ever stayed! Despite it's name I didn't think anyone could be as welcoming as Frank and his staff. We got free beer on arrival, they did our washing up, they have Sky tv, lovely hot showers, very comfortable rooms and they gave us all the advice we needed. Oh my god, they found out transport for us when we were in a panic to get to the bobsleighing, lent a hairdryer, we even slept in the lounge one night. We were very strange guests and they didn't seem to mind us coming in from our mad nights out any time from 5 - 10am! They were always there to give us a friendly welcome. It must be a lot busier now, I have seen the peak prices have gone up a lot, but I imagine it would still be the friendliest place around. I'd go back in a second. Dunno if this makes much sence. Anyway, it was sooooooooooooo good. Go there!

Maza Smilshu: Home(s)

by mirime

The truth: i always prefer/try to skip staying in hotels and hostels for the sake of having something that i can take with me, an emotion, from a "real house" - i like home accomodations. My own kitchen, my own bed, my own cupboard. It does not mean that i learn to build a house in five minutes, no - i find an apartment to share with someone who does not eat my yogurth from the fridge. I love to travel with friends, and to feel at home where-ever i am. So my advice is simple: see the apartments for rental for a change. Naturally i would like more to stay at the house of a friend, this way there is more connection to the town, to the country, to the spirit, but even an apartment without a latvian friend can work. My favourite one(s) are on Maza Smilshu, the street next to the house that has a big black cat on the top of the roof, close to italian restaurant, an art gallery and a Vivienne Westwood boutique. I never stay for long since during the year there is always a Monday at work approaching, but weekends in the heart of my beloved Europe are sometimes enough to make me feel young and alive again.

It gives you space to breath because it is so comfortable, so much "i should buy this place!" The only thing is that it eats lots of money so it means lots of saving it for long months. I personally would do it once in a year, to be totally honest - but i WOULD do it for sure!

Reval hotel Latvija: The highest building in Riga

by linda1501

We stayed at Reval Hotel Latvia and i think it was a great hotel! It is the largest first class hotel in Riga and dedicated to providing comfortable accommodation, friendly service and attention to your individual needs.

For example there is a sauna with walls of glass that you can enjoy the view of the city while being in sauna!:)

Fun Franks Friendly Backpackers Hostel: Fun and friendly

by William1982

I'm almost certain that fun franks has to be the best hostel by far in Riga. Almost everybody I met there was cool and wanted to have fun in the daytime and evening. Frank or a member of staff was always on hand to help and arrange a 'party' in the evening for anybody wanting a bit of fun. There was also the Bobsled and AK 47 bunker to explore.

Friendly staff, nice rooms and cool guests are all you need to enjoy Riga. The location is also almost perfect on the river front
