well hard to talk good or bad about this one, the price was quite good compared to other countries, not so far from the center, and nice staff, but when we arrived from the airport with taxi, we stayed there for an hour trying to find someone to open the door for us, the woman doesnt speak a lot of...

Funky hostel gets it all right. Right from the moment of arrival, we were given such personal attention from the lovely Australian woman running the place. We had a lovely, warm and comftoable stay there. Warm and clean shower, comfortable bed, good kitchen and nice communal area.

Finest hospitality. Remark especially the good living zone, the best view onto a 1903 building, free wifi, maps etc. Should the masters want to up grade a thing, I would recommend them to provide guests with pure water and to invent some smaller shelves or something just next to the upper beds. One has no place to put smaller belonging.... More

I liked this place. It was very laid back, the owner's sister, who was working there, was quite friendly, the rooms were nice and it was peaceful. All of the other budget options in town were very much in the middle of the nightlife scene, and I was grateful not to be there. Breakfast was also included. It was simple... More

Safe, friendly hostel in great location in Riga. Loved it and would easily stay again. Very user friendly for english speakers. I found the hostel easily enough from the bus station during the evening. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was clean and well stocked, free breakfast was a great treat as well (eggs, bread, cheese, coffee, milk). Comfortable... More

My friend and I stayed here for three nights and had a wonderful time. The location is fantastic: just walk a few minutes in a straight line and you'll find yourself in the heart of Riga. So you can easily find your way back even after a few drinks! The beds were very comfy and we felt secure and relaxed... More

It is a nice and clean hostel. The only problem was the wrong written address, it was in a different street and it was hard to find for us while it was raining, and do not be duped by its classical latvian/russian scary looking building, inside is a safe place.

The location is excellent, quite close to the old town. The hostel staff is very friendly and helped a lot in directing me about where to eat and go around the town, even marking things in the map. The asian food place , 'Wok' and latvian food place , 'Lido' , both suggested by him, turned out to be more... More
