    It's not that I did not like it, but be advised - there is no elevator, the building is old, with high ceilings, and the reception is on the 3d floor, the rooms are on the 3d-5th floors. Also, the hostel provides only a small towel (which was enough for me), if you need a large towel, it's 2 euros.

    The hostel is located in the very center of Old Town, right on the Dome Square. As it is downtown, there is no trafic; the place is very quiet. 6-7 minutes walking from the stop of the bus #22 from the airport, 20-25 minutes walking from the Central Bus Station and from the Central Railway Station. Clean, the toilets and the showers are in a very good condition. There are curtains, individual lights and electric sockets in the bunk beds; very spacious lockers and good mattresses, good Wi-Fi everywhere. In the kitchen there is a decent set of cups, plates, cutlery, frying pans, etc. plus tea, instant coffee and sugar (on the house). Friendly and helpful staff, there is someone at the reception from 11 till 18. You'll be given lots of keys - to your room, to your floor, to the 3d floor, where the kitchen and the common rooms are, and to your locker. The keys are painted the same colour as the corresponding locks (brilliant idea!).

    Location is superb! It was very easy to stop by in the middle of the day without wasting any of your time. Private rooms are very comfortable. It has everything we needed for our 3 day stay in Riga.

    It's in the City Centre. Walkable to the tourist spots. Easy access to main doors via code. Has small and cozy common area, as well as kitchen and dining area. Clean WC and Shower. Downstairs are restaurants and bars - could be loud during the night. But its bearable. Would definitely book this hostel again!

    The kitchen area wasn't kept very clean. However, that is mostly on the travellers who didn't take care of it.

    The capsule-style beds allow you to have more privacy and the cupboards with key lock to keep your stuff were convenient and a very good way to keep it safe. The sound insolation was favorable, too. The location is ideal to visit all of the main attractions in just a walk away.

    Wooden bunk beds are a little noisy/squeaky when you climb into the top bunk or move around. (Ear plugs are provided for free in the reception) Be aware that there are several floors and no elevator, if this matters to you.

    Great location in Riga old town. Friendly staff, very clean, and the curtains on the bunk beds offer some privacy. Each bed has a single power outlet and a light. Tea and coffee is available at all times in the kitchen, and there are common areas with board games for chilling. A nice hostel with good value for money 🙂

    there’s nothing :)

    It was clean and spacious! The staff was really nice, helpful and good instructor for the keys. I was staying for a few days and had a good time in this hostel. Although there were a lot of big party people groups, everyone was kind and respectful! The view out of the window of my dorm was beautiful, of course just as the location. There are a lot of cozy coffee places around and I could always find something delicious to eat!

    While the bunk beds were comfortable, their construction felt quite unstable and made from cheaper-end wood. There were also no blankets to cover the bed with during the day, so we couldn't lay down during the day. Also, the recommended parking space price was on the higher end, so we had to look for one on our own

    The locations is absolutely amazing, almost smack-dab in the middle of the old town. The price was pretty cheap. We were traveling in a large group, so the ten bed room was perfect for us. The common facilities, like the dinning room, the toilets and showers were clear and tidy.
