In general I don't like hostels but this one is an exception. Friendly staff, clean and colorfull rooms, friendly and amazing atmosphere. Also location is perfect (not mentioning about the price) - just in the city center, between old town and Moscow District. And these waffels in the morning.... Absolutely fabulous!

Really impressed by the home atmosphere I got caught from the moment I stepped in. The staff are really friendly, the environment really cozy, large common area, really clean and only 2 mins walk from central station. Really good value! One of the best hostels I ve ever been to.

I'd really wanna suggest this hostel as one of the best ones I've ever stayed in. Riga is definitely the wrong place to choose the wrong hostel.. above all in winter! Here I found a very cozy atmosphere, warm welcome and a lot of friendly people. Rooms are clean and confortable, the location is simply the best: you'll find cinema,... More

The hostel is located close to the main city attractions: the Old Town is only about 10 minutes walking distance as well as the Art Nouveau District. The hostel was extremely clean, bedsheets and towels were provided, showers were separated, the common room was very nicely decorated. It is equipped with all necessary cooking facilities and a computer for Internet... More

This place is ok, hence the 'ok' rating. The staff is nice enough--not overtly friendly but not completely unapproachable. The one who checked me in continued to tell me about bars and clubs even after I said I don't drink and don't go to those places, which may be because that's just her little spiel but I found it somewhat...

Dear Guest, We are sorry you didn't get to experience a good night's sleep at Sally's. As you mentioned the staff wasn't entirely unaproachable so why didn't you make a complaint as soon as you felt uncomfortable with the noise level? Especially when you have sleep issues (judging from your review of Cheap Sleep hostel in Helsinki). We do have... More

In short this is a hostel that makes you feel at home very fast. The crew that works there is very helpful if you want to now about things to do, see, eat or hear in the city. Every visit basically starts with one of the employees explaining what there is to do in the area and what the rules... More
