Nice decent size rooms, with decent beds. Internet didn't work in every room, but it always worked in the common rooms. Bathrooms were so so, but that is to be expected with shared bathrooms. Good perk was the free breakfast, which would prepare you for the day. The hostel was in a fairly central position, and within 15 minutes walk you would be in the old riga area. Overall, good value for money

With only 1 shower room for 5 rooms of people is very inconvenient. Guests have to spend most of the time waiting to use.

the hostel is just perfect

The hostel is centrally located, 5 min. away from the central train station by foot. It offers a small breakfast with toasts, butter, cheese and milk. The rooms are quite clean. Only the atmosphere could have been a bit better, but over Eastern the place wasn't completely full.
