New Home in Old Town

This week Riga, Latvia, celebrates the opening of a new era in hospitality for the country.

(PRWEB) November 14, 2004 -- This week Riga, Latvia, celebrates the opening of a new era in hospitality for the country.

While guest houses and hostels around the world open and close with the regularity of a fridge, occasionally there is one of such outstanding atmosphere and service that it defines a country and makes a traveler's experience -- UB Guesthouse in Mongolia and Kathmandu Guesthouse in Nepal, come to mind. With the openinof Riga Old Town Hostel, those visiting Latvia are ensured a similar respite.

Riga Old Town Hostel, less than 3 minutes tramp from the central rail and bus stations, is situated in the hub of Riga at the entrance of the old town.

Priced below other hostels in the area, its facilities are beyond most 3 star hotels; incorporating a fully equipped self-service kitchen, three internet locations, sauna and bar.

The hostel has 42 beds, the most comfortable you'll find on any back-packing route, in three dorms, each with shared facilities, and a triple room with ensuite.

Whilst facilities are exemplary the philosophy of Riga Old Town Hostel is one of service and atmosphere. Deals have already been set with local taxis to provide off-card fares for guests; in-house tour services will offer excursions at below local agency rates; and an inter-Baltic bus service will ferry guests between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for less than established lines.

Purpose built into a renovated historic block, two floors of the 5 story building have been dedicated to easy friendly conversation and interaction, designed for travellers to meet, discuss previous travels and plan new ones.

We know that life-long friends, marriages, great books and incredible adventures have been born in the relaxed atmosphere of good hostels", explains ROTH Manager George Siriunas; and hope that Riga Old Town Hostel will be the father of many to come; redefining the Latvian experience for budget travelers."
