Prior to travelling reading the last review on here and a number of other review I was initially worried we would have made a horrible mistake and would be left in a hell hole. How wrong I was and the purpose of this review is not only to make people staying here feel at ease but also to make people... More

As experienced travellers used to hostel and equivalent accommodation in Eastern Europe this hostel was without question the worst experience. Rowdy fellow guests were screaming and laughing until 0530am - exacerbated by non-existent walls - rooms are separated by paper tin partitions, 10 bed dorms are sharing noise with twice as many people. Signs at reception regarding no alcohol policy... More

What I expect from Riga is not what I expect from other cities as I go there for dentist only, so I also don't expect the same from Riga hostels as I would elsewhere. Tiger Hostel doesn't have the "coolest" staff and it has never felt like a back-packers place which I usually prefer, but this is just perfect for... More

There are rooms across the hall. You have to ring the door bell for reception to open the front door if you wanted to use the kitchen or sit on the sofas in at the front desk. Kitchen had a microwave, refrigerator, and a couple of table of twos. The train station was across the busy street as well as... More

I gave it a minute or two still nothing. About five minutes later, the girl came back from her smoke/snack break and let me in. Not acceptable... More

Just between the Old and the New Town, by the Riga canal, within walking distance to almost everything one needs! Airport bus, boat landing, train station, local food market, all within easy reach. Spacious rooms, equipped kitchen, clean showers & toilets - friendly staff. What else would you ask for? Free tea and coffee, too.

We stayed here in October 2011. The hostel is around 10 minute walk from the main bus station and Old Town. The hostel is very easy to find as its on one of the main roads with a bar below underground. The reception and hotel is very clean and basic. The staff were very helpfull. We had a triple room...

I was staying at the Tiger hostel for 3 weeks. For that period it became as home for me. :) Thank you very much to everyone who works there! The conditions are really good for so perfect price. I had everything clean and fresh.Hostel's staff is very friendly and nice! Hope to go there again in one day!
