Liked: Female dorm. Proximity to station. Helpful staff.
Disliked: Not really a complaint but the 'boho' style decor and the number of teenagers lying around on beanbags trying desperately to look cool made me (a woman of a certain age) feel I didn't belong. The clutter, trailing leads, cracked laminate flooring, knickers under the bed and untidiness gave me the impression of a lack of cleanliness but probably made the aforementioned kids feel at home.

Liked: It's very central and good value for money. There was a hair dryer and even hair streightener in the female dorm. There were also some cosmetics for free. The girls in the hostel were very nice and helpful. They would bake a cake during the day for the guests. I honestly recommend it!

Liked: Very clean everywhere, spacious common room with plenty of room to lounge / chill out. Great soft beds and a fresh pillow and blanket. Slightly annoying floors - if someone walks past the bed feels like its swaying - but that's just the building. Free 5min international calls are a bonus. They let us stay and keep the key until our PM flight, which was very helpful. This place really felt like home, would definitely return.
Disliked: 'Free breakfast' was a joke - just toast and some honey. Otherwise perfect though.

Liked: Being my 2nd time in Latvia it was an easy decision to know exactly where i was going to stay...of course Cinnamon Sally's. This hostel is everything and more, and its difficult to describe just how well run this place is. I was quickly reminded of this on arrival at 5am...and to my surprise find the owner (Ieva) remember me by name the moment i stepped in the door. From there, all I can say is that my stay went from 2 days to 5 days. Riga's a really interesting city and all the better when you stay at somewhere that definately feels like home. The best part of CS is without a doubt the staff, youll get to know Daiga and Da-te who are not only friendly and welcoming but genuinely interested in you and your travels. Thanks again CS, I had a fantastic time, theres no doubt I'll be back.

Liked: Best hostel I've stayed at in 5 months of travels. Unbeatable atmosphere and excellent showers, facilities and location. Thanks for the homemade apple crumble, cinnamon rolls, thursday night bar crawl and great haircut!
Disliked: Because of its close proximity to Cinnamon Sally's, McDonald's was a difficult hazard to avoid on the way home...
