EU – Baltic States, LIVE RIGA, Tourism

"Latvia is no surprise to be found at number four on the list of cheap hostels in Europe. In the capitol city of Riga, I managed to find hostels for as little as GBP four per night," as the rating describes Latvia.

The reviewers emphasized that travelling in Europe can be really cost-friendly depending on the chosen destination, with some countries providing bargain lodgings for the night.

Latvia's neighbor – Estonia ranks seventh. A compiler of the review noted that large imbalance in dorms' pricing was observed in Estonia's cities, with low-cost night stay in Tallinn averaging GBP 5.54 per night, writes LETA.

"In Tallinn, Estonia's capitol city, prices were consistently as low as GBP 5.54 per night. If you strayed outside of the capitol city, prices could go as high as 5.54 17 per night for a bed in a dorm room, due in most part to the fact most other destinations within the country only had one hostel or none at all, so in the other cities with a less competitive market you would end up paying much more. If you base yourself in Tallinn however, you could easily stay in a hostel for the aforementioned price, and have options to choose from," the Living in a Hostel writes.

Other countries on the list are (in descending order): Poland, Turkey, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Czech Republic, Russia, Bulgaria.

All prices included in the survey were based on the off-peak season, as this is the cheapest time to travel in Europe, but in some cases.
