Très bien situé: proche du bus pour l'aéroport, toute la vieille ville accessible à pieds et des commerces à deux pas. Très bon accueil avec de bons conseils pour les restos et visites, les douches et WC sont propres. Possibilité de laisser ses bagages après avoir laissé la chambre.
Les chambres 2-4-5 donnent sur des ventilateurs de climatisation, donc de l'air chaud est recraché et c'est très bruyant. On ferme donc les fenêtres mais les chambres n'étant pas climatisées c'est la fournaise en été. Les matelas de la chambre 4 étaient défoncés, ils sont bons à être jetés !

The staff and the vibe was amazing. The location is excellent too. Had a really good time, thank you.
The lockers are the only thing I didn’t like, because they were not secure at all. But still 10/10.

Staff was super friendly and helpful, during nights was quiet and the position was perfect. I also enjoyed a lot the Latvian Beer Tour that they organized

A really nice 'vibe'. The pka e had everything you need I. A hostel but of all the things it had was a really good social atmosphere. The staff & volunteers work hard to make everyone welcome & 'involved'.
Good central location, reasonably priced bar. Good sized dorms & comfy bunks with bunk light, power socket & privacy curtains
They could do with more showers/loos but realise the logistical difficulty.
Closing the bar, kitchen ,& main lounge area at 22:00.

Great location and friendly staff.
Wifi was extremely slow and stopped working entirely at night. Communal space is pretty much a kicker and a sofa.

I had a flight that arrived to Riga after 23.00 and staff helped me with my late check in. All information was provided very thoroughly and accurately and I had no trouble finding my room.
Unfortunately our room faced the main street that was very busy even very late an night. There's a bar right by the main door of the hostel and it was super loud at least until 2.30 in the morning.

The place is awesome!! Social activities everynight, lovely staff, very clean and welcoming atmosphere
It can be loud when people are coming very late back to hostel, but it's a party hostel so I wouldn't recommend if your not heavy sleeper and your wishing a good night sleep

I truly can't think of one thing. Staff and volunteers were always friendly

Everything simply works in this hostel. There are a lot of social activities and parties to meet other travelers, but the dorms are also comfy and quiet just for some rest as well.

The staff were so nice!! Bed was comfy and rooms had lots of space. Showers were always clean and had good water pressure too.
It was quiet when I was there but that's just the time of year! Would have been nice to meet more people.

Everything was amazing. It was just a quick stop for me but totally exceeded my expectations
Everything was great although there's no 24h bar
8.0 / 10.0
Staff is very friendly and ready to help. I would recommend this to everyone one.
Before booking I read the reviews about the hostel that they host number of events but I didn't experience one, may be I visited on weekdays and stayed for a a night.
