Liked: Great value for money!! I stayed with 3 friends in a 4bed room. The hostel is very clean and friendly with nice rooms. even (a very basic) breakfast is included. for a hostel it's quite modern. the staff was very friendly and helpful. the location is okay as well, you walk 10min to the city centre and the neighbourhood is very nice and calm. I can absolutely recommend this hostel!!

Disliked: Nothing major. But if you ask like this: You could feel the springs in the mattress.

Liked: We stayed on a private 4 bedroom in the upper floor, on the attic which was lovely. Everything in bedroom was very good and comfortable. The breakfast was the best I ever had in a hostel, it's really complete and you can eat as much as you want those good things :) Staff is excellent with guests, theyare always helpful and even suggested us restaurants and places to go out when we asked for it. Totally recommend.

Disliked: The only bad thing was that the wireless internet didn't work on our bedroom as it was on the upper floor. But that's not bad at all as you can stay on the common room with cosy sofas while you use it downstairs.

Liked: The hostel is good value for the money you pay - Clean rooms, nice staff etc...

Disliked: We had a twin private room which was a bit noisy - it was right next to the shower room. Also, the bed was very uncomfortable - but again, this is reflected in the price so you can't really complain too much.

Liked: The best hostel I've ever been to! It definitely has its atmosphere:) Really friendly and helpful stuff. Within a walking distance from the city centre (10-15 min) and close to the railway station (5-10 min). It has a small, but free car park, which is really great in the city centre. I think that you can find some new friends there:)

Disliked: Just small thing... WI-Fi signal was very weak in my room.

Liked: Really, looks like "student's squat" - it's very funny! But it`s very interesting. Good location, good price, have a personal free car-parking - it`s very important in Riga.

Disliked: Bathrooms are shared only. And maybe, would like a TV-set in room.

Liked: It was the first hostel in my life. Two of us took a room with a private bathroom, cause I couldn't believe that common bathroom and WC could be so clean and nice, but when I took a look in them, I was pleasantly surprised. Whole hostel has very pleasant atmosphere, you really feel like at home. Nice common living room with a nice warm color of furniture, bedroom the same, simple and moder style, smiling and helpful staff, modest breakfast, but really worth for money, the kitchen was also very clean, with all necessary things there, coffee and tea for free 24 hours, also all species you may need for cooking (not that we cooked, but other people did). A lot of different generations there, also with a small kids, whole families also, and I think it tells for itself:)

Disliked: Maybe a smell in the evening from the kitchen, when somebody cooks. But no big deal, really, everything else was so so nice.
