Reviews of Balt Hostel

14 January 2011 Kresimir would recommend this property

Liked: Very very attractive female employees were very friendly and eve offered us a free room from early in the morning the day we arrived. Linen included in the price.

Disliked: Nobody in Riga heard about this place which was very strange. Only washing machine, no drying machine. In the same building there is also a casino that works 24/7, so strange people were gathering in front of the building during night hours.

Liked: Cheap alternative to a hotel. great double room at price of hostel. Centrally located to bus and train station and old town less than 5 mins walk away.

Disliked: Little atmosphere and difficult to meet people.

09 October 2010

Liked: it's really close to the center and the bus station

Disliked: the wi-fi internet password they gave me was wrong and then the owner was out for the evening and there wasn't any way for me to use internet, a fire alarm sounded irregularly for the whole night right out of my door and it was both very annoying (I didn't sleep almost at all) and unsafe (what if there was a real fire emergency?). my window was not really sealed and the battery wasn't on so, being a windy autumn night, it was rather cold in the room all the time.

29 September 2010 Maarten would recommend this property

Liked: The property's best feature is the looks on the outside of the building and it's location... The central trainstation (and with old market) is across the street. Old town of Riga is not far too

Disliked: The inside of the hostel is authentic (at least not to see old). But staff is very friendly and they really have a clean hostel.

Liked: It is a nice, clean, safe place in an otherwise tough little town. Situated perfectly for a bike ride or day trip to the Hill of Crosses. Staff doesn't speak Engish so bone up on Lithuanian or Russian before you go.
