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?
