This hostel is an excellent base for adventures in Riga, with fantastic value for money. When you are in the hostel, the environment is very comfortable, friendly and clean and the staff are very happy to recommend things to do in Riga. I could listen to the overview they give to travelers on the map all day long! The location... More

Hi Lucy! Thanks for your review! Since we have never had such a low score I feel we need to respond and explain :) 1. We had a slow transition from security guard to security door in the building but now the situation with homeless people is solved and the stairwell is clean and safe. Also, you didn't HAVE to...

Cinnamon Sally was a highlight of my stay in Riga. They really understand what makes a good hostel. Great central location. The lounge room is perfect for both chilling out and for meeting new people. The dorm in which I stayed was always warm and the bunk bed was comfortable. All of the staff's recommendations were spot on. The staff... More

This is a wonderful fun hostel! It's 5 min away from Vecriga and about 20 min away from the Nouveau Art district, so everything is walking distance. I was there only one night, but I can definitely say that I will be staying there again. The girls give you a map with tips on where there is good food and... More

I's a medium sized hostel, just across the train/bus station. In 5 minutes walking you are in Vecriga, what makes it near what's important to see though easy to get by bus (and big luggage friendly since it also has a lift). The rooms are spacious and spotless clean, the girls room is a plus, with some stuff that can... More
