We were staying in a private room in a building beside the reception. Good location, very close to bus stop, central market and central train station. A bit noisy a night (doors) and just clean enough. The staff was really helpful. Great french cafe, perfect for breakfast, juste at your door. Good choice for a cheap stay.

i stayed in both dorms and private rooms. both dirty, both smell bad (cigarettes, damp). cleaning is infrequent and not thorough, they only seem to clean the most obvious places, for example the windowsills were full of dead flies and weeks of dust. the bathrooms were horrible. the sheets are too small and come off as soon as you move...

Thankfully, we stayed there just one night. The whole place is stinking because of moist, mixed with some other undefined smell. Toilet and bathroom are in horrible condition. The mattresses are worn and bedding is poor with questionable cleanliness. There is no living room...no place to chill and rest, just a pub, where it was very difficult to fall a... More

Furthermore - they advertise their... More

The pub in the hostel is a great place to hang in itself. The beds were clean if a little creaky. Rooms... More

This is my first review I've ever written as I give credit where credit is due. Latvia is an amazing city with amazing women. There's lots to do and nightlife is amazing. The guy who owns it, John sorted us out with stuff to do and very helpful. Be warned its very cold in january. I'd recommend bob slieghing and... More

I have been using the pub and hostel here since they opened all those years back. I have stayed in many places around the world and for sure this place is not sterile or boring. Not all of the light bulbs work but that just adds to the character of the space. Staff are fun and honest, just my advice... More

The first time I entered the place, it was not organised in any sense. Yes, John, the irishman is a little crazy, but quirky and nice once you get past the crazy appearance. My check-in was very quick and a little sloppy, half-way through the check-in something was happening outside and he almost ran outside with my passport still in... More
