Staff are widely described as welcoming and helpful, and the hostel fosters a friendly, social atmosphere with organized activities. Many guests find the spaces clean, though a few mention dirty common areas or a pest sighting. Breakfast is appreciated for simple staples and waffles, with free coffee or tea adding value. A solid choice for budget-minded city explorers.

Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und geben einem viele Tipps. Es gibt auch einen Wochenplan und eine WhatsApp-Gruppe mit Aktivitäten und Ereignissen in der Umgebung. Das Hostel bietet auch günstig Getränke, sowie kostenlosen Kaffee und Tee an. Im Aufenthaltsbereich kann man gut mit anderen Gästen ins Gespräch kommen, wenn man abends nicht rausgehen will. Es wird aber auch für Nachtruhe gesorgt, damit man sich in seinem Zimmer ausruhen kann. Sehr empfehlenswert!

A wonderful stay! I enjoyed every single minute staying here. The staff makes this place unique. They treated me as a friend! Especially Julius and René were wonderful. There is a very cozy atmosphere, which feels like staying home. This made it very easy to connect to other travellers. The Hostel was very clean, it is very centrally located, and the breakfast was delicious. During the stay coffee, tea and fruits are available during the whole day and in combination with the breakfast it had a amazing value. Looking forward to my next visit!

Great hostel in terms of location, breakfast, and facilities. The only downside is it was so hard to sleep because of the street noise, light coming in from outside, and the room being quite hot and stuffy even with the window open.

I had a fantastic stay at this hostel in Riga and would absolutely give it 5 stars! The location is unbeatable - right in the city center, just a short and easy bus ride from the airport. It’s perfect for exploring both the charming Old Town and the more modern parts of the city. Plus, it’s just a few steps away from the central market, which I definitely recommend visiting! The included breakfast was a great bonus, and the prices were very fair for what you get. I also really appreciated the attention to detail - I requested a lower bunk by the window, and they made sure to accommodate me, which was a lovely touch. The hostel also offers activity recommendations and sometimes hosts fun game nights, making it a great place to meet other travelers. The internet speed is good aro 100/150Mb in download. One quirky detail: the entrance is actually inside the McDonald's - don’t let that throw you off! All in all, I 100% recommend this place. Great vibe, great value, great location!

I loved this hostel! Everyone is so friendly. The staff organise free activities every day. The breakfast is included and serve waffles! Everything is super clean. Good vibes. The only thing I wish was different is some sausages or some meat for breakfast 😅 Thank you so much for a very positive stay!

The location and the service was fine except the fact that the single ladies and men are staying in the same bedroom but not in a separate ones. I used the hostel for the first time and this fact made me feel very uncomfortable . Besides it could be much better if every room should have no more than 2 beds but not 4 or 6 beds in every room.. Also ,when I had a shower in the morning I noticed a cockroaches which were crawled along the wall from the ventilation system . I wasn't in a big panic but it was very unpleasant to stay there

The showers are dangerous, especially for people with mobility issues---too high off the ground and with no kind of hand rails. It would be nice if there were one or two single or double rooms. Megyn was an absolute delight!

The included breakfast was a great bonus, and the prices were very fair for what you get. I also really appreciated the attention to detail - I requested a lower bunk by the window, and they made sure to accommodate me, which was a lovely touch. The hostel also offers activity recommendations and sometimes hosts fun game nights, making it a great place to meet other travelers. The internet speed is good aro 100/150Mb in download. One quirky detail: the entrance is actually inside the McDonald's - don’t let that throw you off! All in all, I 100% recommend this place. Great vibe, great value, great location!

Dining
Included breakfast is popular - simple but tasty, with items like waffles, bread, cheese, and coffee - though a few guests found it just okay or wanted more variety.

Hade det mycket bra och man var behjälplig då jag kom in sent på kvällen skadad. Mycket vänlig personal som hjälpte med olika saker i receptionen. Mycket god och bra frukost som ingick i priset. Rent.

I like everything about this hostel - their staff were very friendly and accommodating, facilities are comfortable and clean, good location close to the Old Town plus good breakfast. Recommended for those who want value for their money hostel in Riga.

I loved this hostel! Everyone is so friendly. The staff organise free activities every day. The breakfast is included and serve waffles! Everything is super clean. Good vibes. The only thing I wish was different is some sausages or some meat for breakfast 😅 Thank you so much for a very positive stay!

Toilets don't have a water gun to clean after you finish, which is extremely annoying, especially for Muslims.

Last night, I ran into a young man from Japan. It was past 11 PM, and he couldn't find the entrance to the hostel at the McDonald's downstairs; there was no staff on duty to assist him. He asked me for help. After confirming that he had a reservation, I let him in. I kindly tried to help him find a bed so he could check himself in and handle the formalities at the front desk the next day, but he was extremely rigid and panicked, eventually fleeing the scene. This hostel is truly excellent, but it requires guests to have some communication skills and a sense of self-reliance.
