Hostelworld says
The Naughty Squirrel Backpackers receives consistently high ratings and was rated the best in Latvia and Eastern Europe at the 2011 and 2010 Hoscars, and it’s no wonder. This hostel features tons of interesting activities like AK47-shooting and husky dog-sledding. It’s also located right in Old Town, five minutes’ walk from the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia and St Peter’s Church and a very short stroll from most of Riga’s other great sights. We like that they also offer under-bed storage, good security and free towels and sheets.

Had a great stay at this hostel, the staff were amazing. I did the bar crawl and it was definitely well worth it. If I’m ever back in Latvia, I will definitely stay again!

The Naughty Squirrel Backpackers Hostel says
Estamos en el casco antiguo, a sólo dos minutos del Mercado Central, la Iglesia de San Pedro, la Plaza Livu, el Museo de la Ocupación y el Monumento a la Libertad. Particularmente recomiendo ir al Klub Folk Ala, que sirve una increíble comida a precios baratos y las mejores cervezas de barril de la ciudad.
Considero que nuestro albergue destaca por nuestra excelente atención al cliente. Contamos con servicio de limpieza casi las 24 horas al día y tenemos una gran mezcla de fiesta y descanso, por lo que nuestro albergue es adecuado para un público muy amplio. Para pasarlo bien ofrecemos excursiones de aventura, juegos de mesa, happy hours, un futbolín, cartas, DVDs y muchas cosas más. La mayoría de los huéspedes suelen tener de 20 a 35 años, pero estamos abiertos a todo tipo de público, aunque no permitimos grupos escolares y despedidas de soltero.
