Argonaut Backpackers is the underdog hostel for ratings as we welcome the widest range of travellers- YES to families, couples, cyclists, friend groups and backpackers, NO to stag and bux groups.
We are a small Hostel with a very warm interactive atmosphere.
If our private rooms are booked up then we have more in Riga at our City Central Hostel. Or just head straight to our Beach Hostel in Liepaja - it's a more fun city than Riga.
FAMILY ROOMS NEED TO BE BOOKED DIRECT AS THIS AUTOMATED SYSTEM CAN NOT LIST ROOMS FOR FAMILIES. Google us.
Argonaut Hostels are the only hostels in Latvia with: Smart card door entry systems and Large underbed lockers to fit a whole backpack.
Argonaut beds are custom made with thick mattresses.
Argonaut Common Rooms are large with big TV's so you can relax with other travellers and watch any of over 100 movies.

conditions: WHY BOOKING WITH ARGONAUT BACKPACKERS WAS A SMART THING TO DO. See our Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbCZTMW4z0Q All our hostels have certified Fire Security systems so you can sleep more comfortable at night than is possible at many other hostels in Riga. We have more than the minimum amount of showers and toilets which is much more than you would have experienced elsewhere in Riga. We are most likely the only hostels in Riga that pay all taxes. So for price and location you receive an ethical lowest priced solution. Some other Riga hostels do not even accept credit cards to avoid declaring income! We have dedicated Tour guides so please email us if you would like to pre arranged tours. Or just look at our Whiteboard in reception to see the latest offering. We cater to families and older travellers as well as many young folk looking for new adventures. Therefore we believe you will experience a good mix of people and conversation in our Common Room. Stag and Bucks groups looking for their type of fun are not allowed to stay at Argonaut. PLEASE INFORM US DURING YOUR STAY IF THERE IS ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO MAKE YOUR STAY MORE ENJOYABLE. YOUR POSITIVE RATING IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US SO PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO SEND IN YOUR ONLINE RATING THE DAY OF YOUR DEPARTURE. Most Soviet Styled hostels are rated in the 70% to low 80%. The highest rated hostel in Riga - over 90%- for the last few years actively caters to stag and weekend groups to watch football etc. WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO BE RATED VERY HIGHLY TO REFLECT THE SERVICE WE PROVIDE TO THE MOST CHALLENGING DIVERSE GROUP OF TRAVELLERS. Please email the owner Dean at dean@hostel.lv if you have any comments or suggestions that you would like to communicate directly. BOOKING CHANGES CAN NOT BE PROCESSED VIA THIS EMAIL ADDRESS. OUR RECEPTION IS CLOSED BETWEEN 12 MIDNIGHT AND 7 AM ON Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, and Thursdays. If you will arrive when closed you can still be let in if you email us in advance to make this arrangement. We are the only hostels listed under Ryanair Hotels for Old Riga and Liepaja.
