I would like to share with you the reason why I consider my experience with this hostel as the worst ever. I've booked a room for two for one night (for 4-5 July, 2016) 4 months ago through booking. My boyfriend added a comment, kindly asking for one double bed. After a very very long way (around 36 hours of no sleep), we finally arrived to this hostel. I am a very picky person and I considered a lot of options in Riga to stay that night, but the reason why we took this hostel is the location, in the morning we had to continue our trip further from Riga Coach Station. When we arrived, receptionist asked us to wait as she has some other things to do. Alright. When she took my booking confirmation, she said "I see, but what I can do with this reservation is just offer you another room for 4 people with 2 bunk beds just for you for no extra payment". I asked to explain why our room has been given to other people even though I made my reservation 4 months (! ) ago. Receptionist said "You know… we have so many reservations… ". SORRY!? MANY RESERVATIONS? Receptionist called smbd and said "Good news, I just called to another hostel and they are waiting for you. It is just 15 minutes walk from here. You have to pay one again there". SORRY? We are tired, booked this (! ) hostel, in case of no-payment we are going to be charged for the "stay" and we have to go with suitcases 15 minutes… Really?

Although we had booked a room in this hostel when we arrived we were told insistently to go to this one instead giving very poor reasons. After arguing for a while we accepted as it looked as if we didn't have any other options. It is true that we were paid taxies to move to the new location, but the other hostel turned out to be farther away from the city centre and in a rather unsafe area of the city.

My worst experience ever. Hotel found on Airbnb. The picture are misleading. All the hostel looks like something unfinished The welcoming is pathetic, the personal looks like junkie people. Most of the resident (not young people but more workers) looks like squatters. All this feels that you are into an unsafe place. Also, the rooms are not clean, the walls are thin (you can heard all the noise — TV — smokers speaking — people cooking, people passing by and making floor shivere), the slats of my bed were broken, the mattress is foam. No blind on window. The rules for the noise are not respected. The showers and toilets are undersized (2 showers and 2 toilets for all the hostel). The breakfast is poor, you should get up early if you want a yogurt or an apple. Moreover, I had to ask every morning a cup for the tea. Last but not least : people have tried to enter in my room the first night. 1 positive point : the location.
