The only bad thing was that I stayed there just for one night. It could be a great fun if I have stayed longer. Next time in Riga will be in this hostel for sure. Thumbs up! Highly recommend.

Just across the street from the train station and 5' from the bus station. The location above McDonalds is also kinda good - they have McCafé. It's like a huge apartment, has everything you need. For perfection I would just make a path possible from showers to Bathroom without the detour through the common room possible. High beds, which is good for the lower bunk. They sell beer and juices and laundry also worked well. Good place.

really weel located (and funnily you have to pass through a Mc Doinald to get in ;-) cool and young staff, very clean hostel, beautifully decorated. Unfortunately for me it was almost empty when I visited the city (not yet the peak season) so atmosphere was quiet

Cinnamon Sally's was definitely one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in-everything about it from the warm welcome I received, to the comfy beds, huge rooms, lovely lounge and free 5min phone calls to anywhere in the world was excellent. and don't even get me started on the free waffles for breakfast-Dijeka is a waffle genius! Thanks again for the fantastic time guys, will definitely be back again.

A great stay at a very clean and tidy hostel. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly staff member who provided us with great information about Riga, what to do and where to go. The waffles for breakfast are good, but if you are accustomed to a bigger breakfast grab something across the road at the Supermarket. All in all a great stay.

Good located hostel with character and nice female dorm. With more people around in summer its probably a lot of fun. Staff is friendly but could be a bit more chatty.

Everything was perfect, staff was quite knowledgeable and nice, and the presence of Martin also adds a lot. They allowed me to hang around till 19:00 although I had to check out 12:00. Not only my luggage also myself. Just go there without hesitation. Quite in the center too. Close to, old city, central station and russian quarter.

This hostel was very, very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only negative might be for light sleepers - there is a 24 hour internet cafe downstairs and if you are in the double room then the balcony where the smokers stand is quite close. Ear plugs worked well. I don't think the sleepers in the dorm rooms would notice the noise. I would stay here again anytime. Great atmosphere.

Great place to stay and to feel like home. You will be very welcome by the girls running the place. This staff is very friendly and will help you in almost every situation. There is a very nice common area right in the middle of the hostel. The rooms have high bunks so you won't hit your head in the morning!
