Liked: Super location! Pluss very nice and friendly English-speaking staff. Probably not for families with small children, as sleeping area was situated on top of the bar (and noisy), but suits well for people who are looking for fun and new acquaintances.

Liked: It was in a great location and the directions were spot on, it was warm and the beds had lights and plugs. They also had friendly staff and a beer on arrival and coffee/beer in the morning.
Disliked: They have a very small spiral staircase, that would be very difficult to navigate with a heavy bag especially if you are on the 5th floor. They didn't have a kitchen, which was fine for a couple of days but as they didn't serve food it meant you did have to venture out into the cold (it was -21 when I was there).

Liked: This is a great hostel to stay at if you wanna party. The bar is cool and they have two stairs of sitting arrangements connected to the bar. This is not a bar for hostel guests only. A lot of locals came to drink in the evenings/nights. Short walk to everything. Staff is fluent in english.
Disliked: The one night we did not party and just wanted to get some rest, the hostel had another type of feel to it. It was hard to fall asleep because the noise from the bar downstairs is really loud. So this is definitely not a chill out hostel, but a party hostel. The beds are not that comfy either when you are sober. Better get drunk or find another place to stay.

Liked: Perfect location, lovely staff, cool bar, nice vibe, great value for money, clean, nice showers & beds.
Disliked: Music sometimes too loud & generic British/American hits, some annoying 'lads' staying at hostel, bar sometimes packed with older locals (which can be good and bad, but sometimes made it harder to meet others actually staying at the hostel). Would have benefited from a kicthen or common room separate from public bar.

Liked: The staff was absolutely great. The place is essentially a bar with rooms to stay in. Absolutely great atmosphere and I will definitely stay again, here given the chance.
Disliked: Its not a dislike at all really. I would only mention that the very cool spiral staircase could be difficult for people carrying large luggage. Also, i dislike that i didnt stay longer.

Liked: Spent three nights here and one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Rooms were clean and of a good size. The washing facilities were cleaned down regularly. The bar is amazing and the staff very friendly. They taught us to play novous a local Latvian game one day and we were all addicted. Laius recommend to anyone.
