Very nice and clean Hostel in the center of Riga. They also provide several tours, such as the AK shooting tour and free city guides. All in all one of the best hostels i ever visited!

Can't fault this place. Perfect wifi, perfect staff, perfect atmosphere, perfect bar. Don't choose anywhere else in Riga. Only drawback is loud groups who do not respect quite hours - could be managed better,

The staff was so helpful and nice and they answered the many questions that I had. They were not only awesome at their job, but they were attractive too, which is just icing on the cake. I felt safe and comfortable and the hostel was clean and organized. Thanks for everything.

This is a great hostel, I had so much fun here, though I must admit that it took me a day to recover from all of those nights out with Lina!! Very easy to meet people and socialise. Great location and a comfortable hostel, would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our stay here! 3 nights of classic entertainment. Nothing bad about this place. Highly recommend the latvian food night, consume for cameron! I hope the staff enjoyed our bottle of black balsam we left for them :)

Awesome Hostel, one of the best all round I think I have ever stayed out. The staff are really friendly, helpful and organise events to keep you busy. The extra options like shooting was great fun, I would highly recommend doing this while you are their. Kitchen was fully equip with all you need, the bar had good cheap beer and the Magic show was very entertaining! Also very clean, safe and in a good location. I would highly recommend this to any solo travellers!!

Simply amazing! No wonder this hostel has earned some awards - all worth it! Excellent location, very fair prices and yet safe & secure. The best part, however, was the staff. Level of service is incredible! In addition, all female-employees are very beautiful... Goddamn! Gotta go there again, that's for sure.

Fantastic location and facilities, clean and comfortable beds. The staff could not have been more helpful, giving great ideas of things to do within Riga and more rural Latvia. Would definitely stay there again.

Fantastic hostel in Riga. Was recommended this place from a similar hostel in Tallinn and they weren't wrong. I was here mid week so it was a little quieter, but still had an amazing time. Great place to come as an individual backpacker as the common areas are set up for people to meet and be social. The staff were great - especially Maya and Sabina - amazingly friendly and helpful and makes you feel at home straight away. Great place for a party, but also a good place to rest.
