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.

Amazing hostel located just across from the train station, and a short walk to the main bus station.
A breakfast is provided each morning with a range of waffles, pastries, juice, tea, coffee, fruit and cheeses.

Beds are comfortable, with heaps of storage and overall has a nice vibe!

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

Great place to stay and visit Riga

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!

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.

젊은 사람들부터 노년의 여행객들까지 다양한 연령대가 이용하는 아늑하고 편리한 호스텔입니다! 저는 4인 1실을 이용했는데 침대가 크고 편안해서 너무 좋았습니다. 다만 모던하고 깔끔한 최신식 호스텔을 원하시는 분이라면 다른 호스텔을 추천드립니다. 건물이 오래되어서 방음은 잘 안되기 때문에 귀마개는 필수로 들고 오셔야하고, 그리고 이용객이 많은 것에 비해서 pub crawl을 제외하면 소셜이벤트가 거의 없다시피 합니다. 주말인데도 특별히 계획된 소셜이벤트가 없다는 소식을 듣고 조금 의아할 정도였어요. 그러다보니 새로운 사람들을 만날 수 있기는 한데 뭔가 굉장히 surface level convo만 있고 같이 travel buddy처럼 뭘 하기에는 어려워보이더라고요. 아침식사도 다른 리뷰들 보면 엄청 좋다고 되어있는데 실제로는 굉장히 심플하고 단백질류는 삶은 계란과 치즈 정도만 준비되어 있습니다. 저는 한 번 방문으로 족한 것 같고 재방문할 것 같지는 않습니다 ㅎㅎ

Erittäin hyvä hostelli!

Todella viihtyisä hostelli erinomaisella sijainnilla! Ei ollut tällä kertaa energiaa verkostoitua ja olla sosiaalinen, mutta siihenkin olisi ollut hyvät puitteet hostellilla. Oli myös hyvät puitteet hiljentymiseen. Huone ja muut tilat olivat kodikkaita, sänky erityisen hyvä sekä sopivan leveä ja locker tilava, mihin ei tarvinnut omaa lukkoa. Ilmainen aamupala oli myös todella maukas ja ravitseva.

Tulen ehdottomasti uudelleen, jos vierailen Riikassa uudestaan.

Super Hostel mit tollen und sehr hilfsbereiten Mitarbeitern. Beim Check-in wurde alles super erklärt und auch gleich Tipps für Sehenswürdigkeiten und Essen gegeben.
Gratis Frühstück ist toll und was nicht gegessen wird (z.B. Brötchen/Waffeln wird noch hingestellt, damit dies später als Snack genommen werden kann).
Einzig der Eingang ist nicht ganz einfach zu finden. Wäre gut, wenn einfach geschrieben würde, dass der Eingang beim McDonalds ist.

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!
