18 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Perfect location in the Old Town of Riga, surrounded by bars, cafés and restaurants. All the points of interests are only a stone's throw away, aswell as the train and bus station, the shopping mall and a big supermarket. The bus to the airport is only a few minutes walking too.Beds in dorms are bunkbeds but they're quite big and comfy.

Disliked: There is one computer with internet, but it's so old and and the connection is so slow... Staff is not very kind, but they are helpful enought (they're always watching movies in the reception. that's no problem for me, but they could at leat turn the volume down a bit at night... not professional at all)

Irene Flack

24 February 2010 Irene would recommend this property

Liked: It is right in the centre of the Old town, only a few minutes walk from where the airport bus drops you off and plenty of bars and cafes in the surrounding streets. It was very quiet when I visited [February] so can't really comment on the atmosphere but there was a large bar where you can use the microwave, kettle and toaster during the day. I would definitely stay here again

Disliked: Irene left no negative feedback.

Lauren Moyes

21 August 2009

Liked: The beds are comfy, and the location is great. However, I found there was a distinct lack of character to the place, and very few opportunities for socialising. Which is a shame, because given a good place to hang out and meet fellow travelers in between wandering through the old town, my stay in Riga would have been perfect.

Disliked: Lauren left no negative feedback.
