Red Nose

Despite only having opened recently, Red Nose hostel is doing a fine job of carving out a niche for itself in the crowded Riga accommodation market. It's not quite at the bargain bucket end of the budget line, but it does offer more than a mattress and a roof for the party-weary traveler landing in Riga. Neither is the Red Nose so huge that it loses itself among a sea of guests. There is space for 34 people, in rooms ranging from double to ten-bed dorms. Bed linen is included, but there is a charge for towels - which can be somewhat offset by the fact that the beds come with real, comfortable, sprung mattresses.
