This hostel seemed ok until my friend woke me up on our 2nd night covered in bed bug bites. I recognize that this can happen in any kind of accommodation, but what disappointed me most was the staff response. There seemed to be no sense of urgency or protocol. We had to advocate for all of our needs, and there was no indication that they were going to change the mattress or take measures to prevent continued spread. Other guests were not notified. I would not stay here again. Beds uncomfortable.

+ Great location, overall atmosphere, great logistics of keys, good privacy - bery dirty bathroom mat, my sleeping matress had a big hole from the sleeping position of the former visitors (so I didn't sleep well and next day my back hurt a LOT) , there was no staff at the reception (which didn't feel too safe)

My first stay in Riga and I’m very glad I chose Blue Bird! Smack bang in the middle of the Old Town, with top-notch security (potentially three doors to get through, but it sounds more complicated than it is!). Spacious rooms, comfy beds and very clean bathrooms. Dvina on reception was lovely, professional and very helpful. The hostel is on the smaller side, but I honestly can’t fault it. Highly recommended!
