| This hostel is very good; clean, cosy and friendly staff and other guests. The location is nice, just outside the old town, you can walk there in 5 minutes. The kitchen is very good so you can cook your own dinner. I was travelling alone and I met nice people here. | ||

| 24 May 2012 Richard, England & Wales | 100% | |
| Includes a free adequate breakfast: cereal, bread and jam, eggs, bananas, tea to drink any time.
Out of the three hostels I stayed in in Riga this is the only one that is like a true hostel, rather than a hotel. Time of year end of May:
Riga - Central Park Hostel: Very good if you like a small hotel. Riga - Tiger Hostel: more like a hostel: there may be "Our kitchen with special equipment allows travellers to have food." but on this side there is tea, coffee, sugar, kettle and a fridge. Ver friendly.
