Liked: Had everything you look for in a hostel: clean rooms and shower/bathroom facilities, FREE SHOT when you arrive, a comfy common room, friendly staff, a kitchen, etc. Bonus points for the staff having great taste in music.

Disliked: This isn't the hostel's fault, BUT: going to Riga in February was a very foolish and freezing idea. Still a great place to see, but we should have waited a month or two.

Liked: The Naughty Squirrel is AMAZING! Easily the best hostel I have ever stayed at (and I have been travelling around EU for quite a while). Not simply are the beds great and the rooms set up really well...But it's definately the staff that make this place. They are so incredibly amazing (and may I say...very attractive also), they know everywhere to go during the day and then they point out all the awesome places to go at night. I would really recommend this hostel. It's absolutely fantastic. Also, you gotta go on all the tours you can. They're so much fun. And they personally take you on them aswell. So you get a good chance to have a talk with some real locals and hangout afterwoods and share some laughs with.

Disliked: absolutely nothing. There's a reason they're the best hostel in eastern europe.

Liked: Everything! None of those crap pub crawls that take you to generic tourists spots, they take you to proper local places, restaurant and clubs. The staff were so willing to help and make sure we had the best time. The cleaners were constantly cleaning the hostel working between 8am - 12pm at night keeping the bathrooms and shower rooms to an excellent standard.

Disliked: Nothing, the best hostel i've visited in Europe
