Barons Hostel

A hostel a bit outside of the Old Town, but if you're the procrastinating type and it's the middle of the summer and every Old Town hostel is booked already, this might be your best option. Its security is a draw as well, offering key card locked doors and lockers to secure your possessions, as well as private double bed rooms with shared bathrooms. The hostel also boasts about its big-screen TV in the common room, and "probably the best hostel kitchen in Riga," though that's a grandiloquence you'll have to test for yourself. The hostel requires a minimum stay of 2 nights, and a maximum stay of up to 31 nights.
