This hostel is located above a nice bar with nice staff. The room was basic and the bathrooms were a let-down. On arrival the toilet room floor was wet (there was a soaked towel). The shower room was dirty and smelled. I showered in the morning right after the cleaning lady gave the shower room a quick sweep but still didn't like it much—particularly, the mat in the shower room looked unhygienic. Also concerning was the condensation on the windows and black spots in the corners of the ceiling.

Hey! Sorry that the bathrooms weren't up to your standards. We do have a plan to get them all renovated in the quiet season that's coming now. We do clean them at least 5 times a day, but, unfortunately old showers can be mistaken for dirty showers. Happy travels. Old Town Crew

Absolutely fantastic location in the centre of old town near bus station and the head railway. Nice staff and creative backpackers pub with very fun atmosphere. Recommend for staying in Riga.
