Conveniently set in the Centre district of Rīga, Blue Bird Hostel in Riga Old Town is located 600 metres from Bastejkalna Parks, 1 km from Latvian National Museum of Art and less than 1 km from Riga Nativity of Christ Cathedral. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is less than 1 km from the city centre and a 7-minute walk from Latvian National Opera.

Great location, in the old town. Very good value if you just want to sleep before your flight next day. I was last year here and had a private room, because I was staying for more nights. On this occasion I only wanted to sleep a bit and had to check out in the morning to catch my flight. It's not worth booking an apartment for 50 bucks in this case. The hostel beds are pretty good and every bed has curtains for extra privacy. Close to probably everything you may want to visit in the old town. You get a code and instructions per phone, so it doesn't matter if the reception is closed when you arrive. I would definitely come again.

Rooms are bright and feature minimalist design. They share bathroom facilities and access to a common kitchenette with a kettle, a toaster, a microwave, and a refrigerator. Every bed comes with an individual power socket. Common ironing facilities are provided.

It was perfect for me as a solo traveller. Very crean, tidy, great location, friendly staff, equipped kitched, access to breakfast 24/7. It was quiet in the hostel, but considering it's in the center sometimes you would hear noise from outside in the evening, but it rather was a part of atmosphere of the city. I can say I loved everything about this place.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location in Riga old town. Friendly staff, very clean, and the curtains on the bunk beds offer some privacy. Each bed has a single power outlet and a light. Tea and coffee is available at all times in the kitchen, and there are common areas with board games for chilling. A nice hostel with good value for money 🙂

    Nice, affordable place with discount(making it actually cheaper in price than most youth hostels), walkable to most sites in the city centre, check-in is easy, inner space is decent and roomy (as most places in Riga), and the room is well heated up in a damp, cold Spring.
