More information on Funky Hostel

An excellent, budget conscious central base to explore Latvia's capital.km 11/06 A typical building of Riga's old town. Barons B&B is located within a large apartment in central Riga, it is ideally equipped with cooking facilities, has two shower rooms and a comfortable contemporary communal room with plasma tv and an extensive dvd collection. The apartment itself is located on the top floor of the block so not ideal for those less mobile.

Rooms:

Rooms are of a basic nature but are clean. Many rooms are dormitory style and have bunk beds so clients may have additional beds in their rooms but these will not be sold. Rooms are not en-suite therefore have shared bathrooms, these are basic but clean.
