Really nice place, big rooms and everything clean. Good location not too far from it all but not too close either. Good relaxed atmosphere. Nice place!

A really small or cosy hostel depends on the way you see it.The staff were average not very helpful. It was clean and quiet not central to the old town where you want to be, it is a long walk and the area did not seem the best.I would choose something different in the old town.But if you do not mind the walk it is not the worst hostel and it is cheap.

Loved the neighborhood the hostel was located (towards the right walking out the front). Staff was helpful and friendly. Coffee each morning was a delight. Very safe and secure. Convenient to bus & train stations. Great overall experience.

A great place to stay for people who like cozy home-like atmosphere. Strategically located 5 mins away from the bus station, railway station and old town; very clean and comfortable, lots of adds-on such as free breakfast, simple but very good, tea and coffee available any time, Saturday dinner for everyone, Sunday healthy breakfast with fruit and vegetables, film nights with free popcorn and soft drinks, extremely helpful and friendly staff, etc. etc.

It has no major drawbacks and that's the best compliment for a hostel that charges some 5 euros a night. It is fairly clean, the staff is nice and helpful, the location is ok (not the old town, but fairly close to it and then a central station is just few minutes away) it has a couple of tables in the backyard to calmly enjoy your morning coffee or afternoon beer. The lockers though would be the welcome addition to the package.

We stayed in a 4 bed mixed dorm on the 3rd floor. The room was really big and spacious, clean and all necessary itineary was also provided. Unfortunately there was a really bad smell in the room (could be also from the 4th person who was assigned to our dorm) but anyway they should air the rooms more often. On the arrival the girl in reception was really helpful and kind! So many thanx to her!

The place felt really nice and clean for the relatively average European hostel price. I had my own private room that was spacious, warm and homey. The staff and guests were friendly, the breakfast selection was good as well as the location. I liked the modest size of the hostel, it had fewer rooms compared to other hostels I've stayed at which kept the experience personable and quiet.

We stayed 3 nights in central hostel and it was really cool. The atmosphere is like home. Free morning breakfast and internet is also good. Beside this it's really close to central station. I like it!

Best hostel experience ever, much more like in a big flat share than in a hostel. Highly recommended!

Just seemed to lack a bit of character when we were there, no real vibe to the place other than that decent location except the hostel directions were confusing

Very nice hostel. Level of cleanliness in generell a little low. No lockers. Otherwise a good value for your money.

Lovely hostel with incredibly friendly staff. Our room was spacious and light, and the communal areas were comfortable and clean. No wifi in the bedroom was the only downside! Great location for exploring Riga.
