Good budget stay

Very central one, maybe bit noisy but overwise convinient stay. If you are with family I would not suggest for longer stays unless you have limited budget

👍 Top location, right in the centre - Riga train & bus station few minutes walking. 👍 Friendly, helpfull staff - door-codes provided in advance. Free coffee, fruits and quality information. 👍 Clean, light - tastefully designed - private rooms, shared kitchen & living room to socialize. 👍 Comfy bed, new madresses for a good-night-sleep.

Wow, what a hostel - clean, friendly, stylish and so much on offer. Free tea, coffee, water and fresh fruit daily. Great kitchen and common room to relax or cook in and the facilities were great. Communication from the staff was great. It was less than 10 minutes to the coach and train station and 5 minutes to the edge of the old town. Would definitely stay here again

If you can get pass the disgusting, smelly elevator, you'll be fine. The room is large, but I found a cockroach and room 10 has wifi issues.

good!

the room was good, the hostel was clean and had all we needed, the personal was very friendly and helpful, the location is good and central, very close to the train station and the bus station. Free apples, water, tea and coffee were available which is a nice touch! just some points that could be improved, the room had windows to the main street, which was very noicy even during the night, but closing the window would have rendered the room too hot. Maybe some better isolation or temperature control could be of great use!

nicely furnished and decently clean; well located right in the city centre. the entrance is through a McDonald's restaurant which I found a bit weird but also kind of cool. it's basically self-check in without any reception, but during most of the day somebody can be called over in case of any problems. (I actually did not receive my access information via e-mail as I should have, but the problem could be resolved by calling.)

The hostel was clean and had fruit available, but my experience was disappointing. I never received check-in information on time, had to wait for keys, and no one showed me around. The room was very noisy during the morning, shower drained poorly and the toilet near my room broke twice. Customer service was not helpful.

Well positioned and convenient for all transport. Within walking distance of almost everything. Possibly too many door codes but McDonalds seemed obliging when using their entrances & exits! Fine, simple and straightforward. Initial entry slightly awkward as no details of door codes etc. received from Expedia until after I had left. I found these after my return home. Others had similar problems but all was sorted out. Not the property's fault.

Avoid this place!

Avoid this place! We reserved 2 nights there. We arrived at the hostel at around midnight and after self check in we realized that there was a drunk homeless man sleeping in our room. Reception’s working hours are until 23 therefore there was nobody onsite to reach out to. Nobody answered our calls neither. We reached out hotels.com but they were unable to contact the hostel neither and didn’t not provide any emergency support to us. At the end, the hostel has returned the pre-paid fee, however, we still needed to find another hotel in the middle of the night by ourselves. We spent few hours solving this extremely stressful situation, and we ended up paying very expensive accommodation due to limited availability in high season. I strongly advise against booking at this hostel.

Huone oli sellainen kuin odotimme. Yhteinen keittiö, wc ja suihku muiden asukkaiden kanssa oli hyvät. Mutta huoneessa oli iso ötökkä joka tippui katosta päälleni. Myös vessassa oli 2 samanlaista. Ne ei ollut luteita vaan jotain sirkkoja.

No se pusieron en contacto conmigo para informarme como debía hacer el check-in. Les solicité varias veces que me lo explicaran, pero nunca me contestaron. Tuve que llamarles por teléfono una vez allí.

Tüm kat zemininin ve yatağın gıcırtısından uyumak mümkün değildi. Oda yerleşimi çok kullanışsızdı. Dışardan gelen yemek kokuları yüzünden odayı havalandırmak imkansızdı. Çöpler daha sık boşaltılmalî, mutfak dolabında böcekler geziyordu. Genel dizaynı güzel, personel yardımsever. Eski şehir merkezine, görülmesi gereken yerlere yürüme mesafesinde.

Kuitenkin ihan ok

Huone oli suht siisti. Emme pystyneet nukkumaan kunnolla, koska kerrossängyn ylin kerros oli katonrajassa asti, laita oli matala. Pelkäsin, että lapsi putoaa sieltä. Kadulla oli kova meteli yöllä. Kuumalla ilmalla huone on kuuma. Suihku oli ällöttävä kokemus. Hotellin alakerta oli kuin yleinen WC. Haju oli kammottava. Kuitenkin hintansa arvoinen ja joiltain osin majoitus ihan ok.

Loma

Huone oli ok, mutta hostellissa on vain kaksi wc:tä ja kaksi suihkua koko asiakasmäärää kohti, se on aivan liian vähän ja hankaloittaa olemista.
