Liked: Friendly staff, decent breakfast offered in the morning (cereal, fruit, eggs, toast & jam), free wi-fi and very clean.

Disliked: That it is on the top floor - I think about 5 or 6 flights up and no elevator!

Liked: Helpful staff, very well equipped kitchen (and other stuff like ironing boards if you ask!) and they have every DVD under the sun in the common room!

Disliked: You need to go up 4 or 5 flights of stairs to get there, but it's worth it once you do!

Family Holiday

02 July 2011 Aleksandrs would recommend this property

Liked: Private hostel with home atmosphere, too many entertaiments in a living room: books, tamle games, big plaza tv, fun games. Whatewer you like you can get there. Very quiet during the day and nights, Kitchen is full of teas, coffees, mini bar wit beer and syder, two refregerators, owen, tea pot, sandwich maker, toaster. Location at the heart of the city. Just few tram stations and you are in a old riga town. Brteackfast includet till 12 :00 at the same kitchen. Even you have shortage of money you can det something for free in the morning:) Other things made me happy:) Have a good stay at this hostel.

Disliked: One thing can make you stay difficult- this is the very noisy when the windows are open

Liked: The guy in charge, Fred, is extremely helpful- such a nice guy!! The free breakfast is yummy and there are tons of movies to watch when you just want to relax in for a night. It is in a good location- the area in the city is quiet and safe..,

Disliked: When I stayed there was noone else there in my room on one night, which wasn't the hostels fault at all. I didn't realize there was only one dorm room and the rest were privates- the description is a bit misleading on that. So yes, with more private rooms there are more couples and older people staying, but that is the luck of the draw with any hostel really. Many floors up too, so if you don't like walking up stairs, then it gets a bit tiring.

Liked: The hostel is pretty good, but...

Disliked: it is not in the old town, so I guess the "funky part" does not happen so often because of that... it was pretty quiet while I was there, I rarely saw other people, and the hostel was all booked up. I had to join Naughty Squirrel´s pub crawl, otherwise I would be going out alone...

Liked: The staircase and the window view to neighbour staircase, truly great atmosphere. Free wifi and locker. Quite silent neighbourhood at nighttime.

Disliked: Not possible to open windows (due to temporarily winter isolation). Smell in bathroom. Bathroom a bit cold. Had to share room with a very loud snorer, making this place not the great place for sleeping which I was interested in.
