Location was really good! It's good if you're going to have a thorough tour of Riga, the location is convenient for traveling by both internal city and intercity transport. Staff are good, When I arrived, a very cute girl was working at the reception :)

The hotel is 20 minutes from the Autoosta stop but you can take bus 18/23 or even 50 if you don't want to walk. For the price, I found this to be of exceptional value. There's a small bar in the hotel lobby, a supermarket next door and across the road, a restaurant. It is ideally located if you don't mind being slightly outside the old town. The single room was quite spacious and clean. They had slippers, clean towel, shower cap & and for some reason, a shoe shiner as well in the wardrobe. The shared bathroom & toilet area was very neat. This was well appreciated. The staff was friendly and helped me print my boarding pass when I checked out. Thanks a lot.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Great location in the centre of Riga and close to bus and train stations. Next to that the breakfast is great and the hostel has a good balance of social activities without becoming disturbing for travellers. Great value for money and a must try when going to Riga.

Perfect hostel with all the ingredients that a backpacker looks for, even in the small details ! Amazing vibe, with nice staff, different activities proposed, great location, delicious breakfast, free towel, clean bathrooms, nice rooms, etc. They give you a map with suggestions to visit. You can let your bag after the check out if needed. Free coffee all day <3

Great location in Riga old town. Friendly staff, very clean, and the curtains on the bunk beds offer some privacy. Each bed has a single power outlet and a light. Tea and coffee is available at all times in the kitchen, and there are common areas with board games for chilling. A nice hostel with good value for money 🙂

Very social hostel with kind staff and equally kind other backpackers. The breakfast was great, and the hostel-organised activities such as the pubcrawl were fun too. Very nice place to meet new people with good facilities.
