I've visited Riga on business last year. I can't comment/suggest on accommodation, but I can assure you that Riga is a remarkably lovely and a very safe place. It could be more a bit more expensive than you'd expect though...

I have been to Riga several times and find the only thing dangerous is spending more than you planned on. It is safe as long as you stay away from some of the bars which advertise action. If you are not a Bar hopper, it is a nice place to visit, and you can walk most everywhere.

Try Doma Hostel . The hostel has an excellent location right in the centre of the old town. The hostel is about 10-15 mins walk from the bus/train stations.

As I live in Riga I recommend you to chose this inexpencive hostel: youthhostel.lv/en/prices.htm... Riga is a small town. Prices in Old Riga are very much European. The benefits of its hostel: its a little bit far from old town, but in quite cozy and inexpensive place. A lot of inexpencive small cafe and restaurants are within walking distanse (200-300 m), including Central railway station. You can take a bus 22 from airport - stop is opposit to exit. Price per any bus trip: 0,70 LVL = ~1 EUR. From airport: chose the 2nd stop after you cross a river (its near by big-big cinema). Than go by walk forward - about 300-350 miters. Print location of hostel from google map. Or you can go by taxi, airport->hostel costs ~ 7-8 LVL. Be aware that you can pay in LVL, not in other currencies. Most of shops/hostels, but not museums and theatres, accept credit cards
