We ended up staying in Fun Friedly Franks as we had a stag do planned for Riga and needed somewhere to crash. This place is perfect for large groups of friends especially if you love socialising and hitting the town. The location was great, right in the heart of the Old Town and only a few minutes walk from everything.... More

This is a great hostel to stay in IF you're travelling or on holiday with friends. If your with family, or in a couple, I'd advise you to move on to another place. However I was there with friends, so I loved it. When you arrive, you're welcomed with a free beer. Thats always a nice touch. The bar is... More

We opted to stay here back in 2008. It was a brilliant place to stay, but not one for couples. It was very clean, the staff were brilliant and the location could not be any better. The first thing they ask is "Would you like a free beer"... Excellent. They organise very good value trips for guests to all kind... More

After two (OK technically 3) trips to Riga, I can't say enough about Frank's or about Riga in general. First the staff: I've never had friendlier staff at a hostel. No matter how busy they are, they take time to address you by name, ask how you're doing, etc. Without fail, EVERY time. I've never had this happen before or... More

Stayed at the Franks in april 2011. The name gives justice to the hostel. From our arrival we were very well treated, starting with welcome beer, the beautiful receptionist's smile (it could be any of them, they are all gorgeous), and Parish never ending quest to make you feel welcome and entertained. I must say I have never seen a... More

We stayed here in July 2011. The hostel organised a cheap airport transfer and we were greeted with a free beer on arrival, a very nice touch. The rooms are basic, but are brilliant considering the price and the bar downstairs is a great place to start your night (and it has free wifi!). Ask at reception for one of... More
