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.

I don't like anything about the hostel except that it is within the old town. The staff is cold, inexpressive and very reluctant to help or give their advice about anything. The room is noisy - at the night the sound from the bars and clubs outside makes it impossible for anybody to sleep nicely. It doesn't feel safe - there are no lockers, the staff won't give us a key to the dorm saying that it is left open all day. I hope that people who come to Riga and trying to make wise decisions would steer clear of this hostel.

Instead of 8 bed dorm, there were 16 beds, you cannot lock the door of your room, there was no tourist information, but otherwise, I spend the night without furtehr problems.
