Liked: This hostel is set up so that you will meet people. There was not wifi in my room (on the second floor) but there was good wifi in the lobby. The hostel is quite clean, and the staff is very cool, but also really professional. The pub crawls are fun.

Disliked: Nothing! This place was great!

Liked: If I was going to design the perfect hostel this would be it, one of the best I've ever stayed in. It ticks all the boxes any backpacker could want - clean, friendly staff, great atmosphere, comfy rooms, lockers, free internet and foosball table, kitchen, cheap bar, plenty of activities... the list goes on. Well done Naughty Squirrel.

Disliked: honestly can't think of one thing wrong with it

Liked: Nice & friendly staff. They offer you tips in touring the old city on check-in without you asking for it. Very good atmosphere and we had a wonderful time chatting with others in the common room. The homemade meatballs for the Latvian food night was yum!

Disliked: The double ensuites have room for a small table for put our stuff. The bathroom could do with some hooks to hang our clothes, I don't feel too at ease putting them on the potty :)

Liked: Open minded-ness, friendly staff, lots of activities to do (shooting, biking, rafting ... you name it, they have it), lots of people to talk to, to get to know people.

Disliked: If you're a bit tired and sleepy, not always that easy, because a lot of people and sometimes party people getting back in the middle of the night ;-). Everything also feels a bit crammed, not that much space in the kitchen, but makes it feel cosy too!

Liked: The staff were awesome, came home at 5 am and had no money, and they didn't hesitate to lend me a 10er until I could withdraw. So cheap to stay there, all sorts of cheap drinks and food available and I could have stayed in the common room for a week it was good fun.

Disliked: Disliked that every other hostel will now be a let down!

Liked: This place is great. Really helpful Latvian staff that show you all the insiders places to go out and galleries to see etc. Bathrooms cleaned twice a day - and hardly have to wait for them. Lots of group activities at night (pub crawl, magic shows, drinking games) etc.

Disliked: Only thing is common room can get a bit cosy as it is a pretty big hostel.
