“ The only good thing about the place is the location. The rest is Soviet-like pretending to be modern. The rooms are tidy and quite spacious but very drafty. In our 1st room which was 202 (keep out), the ceiling and the lamp were vibrating creating a persistent noise which made sleep impossible.... more ”

“ Located in 4 star Hotel Riga nearby train and bus station. Free WiFi although you can only use the provided password once a day. Walls are thin so it can be noisy when guests come home after a night of boozing. Tv in common area. Shower and tap can be a bit smelly, so wouldn't recommend drinking... more ”

“ It's actually on the 3rd floor of the Hotel Riga, so rather than a hostel it,s a converted hotel floor. Rooms and location are great though and there's a free washing machine. ”

“ A 3/4 star hotel with 1 1/2 floors as hostel. Room was very large, beds comfortable. Bathroom it's a little scary (very old fashion toilet, seemed to belong to 1940s and tiny tub) but in all good value for the money, excellent location and free storage of lugguage. ”

“ This was really a hotel. It is in the same building as a much fancier hotel, and seems to have no staff of its own. It feels a bit dead. Having said that, the location was fantastic, the rooms are nice, and the kitchen is very good. I would definitely stay there again, but it's not somewhere... ”

“ This is NOT a hostel. It is the Hotel Riga, a huge, old style Soviet pile. It does have a great location and the rooms are quite nice. There's not even a sign to indicate the "green Apple even exists. And no wi-fi per advertized. Just beware. It is still a good deal. ”
