LOCATION

Located right between the old town and the centre of Riga, a few minutes walk from all main transport hubs and a few steps away from a supermarket, cinnamon sally probably has the best location in town.

SOCIALISING

INFORMATION

Information on Riga and Latvia (what’s going on, what to see, where to go and when) is supplied and updated by staff who are locals with plenty of hostel experience and good language skills. You will not need to look up bus times on your own, just check out the information board, it’s all there. You will also receive a free map of Riga upon your arrival and enough information to get you around Riga for a few exciting and informative days.



TOURS

If you fancy something a bit more active the staff will take you to unload a few rounds with an AK47 or take you to the national park to slide down the bobsled track in a real bobsled with the Olympic champions. In the summer you can bungee jump out of a cable car or have…


Cinnamon Sally is close to all the main transport hubs, right between the old town and the centre of Riga.

Within 5 minutes walk from the hostel you can go to countless bars, restaurants, museums and art galleries. Right across the street is the Riga Circus.

A big supermarket that is opened till midnight is 1 minute's walk away.

The main bus, trolley and tram stop is 1 minute walk away so you can reach anywhere in Riga and in Latvia from there.

The location does not get better than this.

Airport:

Exit the arrivals terminal and head across the car park. There is a timetable for bus 22 that comes 1 – 5 am. Take the bus to the stop called Stockmann – the 2nd stop after you have crossed Daugava River. Walk up the street same direction with traffic for about 50 m – you will reach a tunnel. Walk through it straight and exit to the third stairs on your left. You should end up on Marijas Street. Walk straight up till McDonalds and turn left. Righ around the corner you should see the entrance right between McDonalds and McCafe! Take elevator to the 3rd floor.



International Bus Station:

The buses arrive at the rear of the bus station. So you must first walk into the bus terminal and then exit the terminal though its main entrance to the area where the taxis wait. Cross the street, walk to the left under the bridge. Turn right at the corner of Stockman shopping centre and keep walking for about 50 m. Read Airport directions from Stockmann bus stop.



Main Train Terminal Riga:

When exiting the train terminal, make sure you walk towards the city centre, not Central Market. If you look across the square you will see McDonalds on one of the street corners, that’s where you are heading. If you don’t see McDonalds, walk towards the traffic lights at the far end of Origo and you will definitely see it. Cross 3 traffic lights and you're there! Entrance to the Bunks & Roses is between McDonald’s and McCafe. Take elevator to the 3rd floor.
