everything you want, none of the BS. free coffee, tea, pasta, rice. free towel. privacy curtain, shelf by your bed. they don't cut corners, it's very clean, social, and fun. volunteers are really friendly. 5 minutes walk to bus station. really up there with my favorite hostels, possibly the best yet

The hostel was clean, spacious, and overall a comfortable stay. I booked a twin room with a shared bathroom, and everything was well maintained. The only drawback was that, while there were enough charging points, they weren’t easily accessible from the bed.

Super Lage in der Stadt. Ablauf bei check-in super auch bei Später Ankunftszeit. Personal ist hervorragend und engagiert. Sehr viel Aktivitäten. Toiletten und duschen werden ständig gereinigt. Wirklich alles super. Einzug zu kritisieren sind die Matratzen. Diese sind sehr durchgelegen. Ich bin nicht gerade ein Lauch schon sehr gut gebaut. Aber ich habe die Metallfedern der Matratze gespürt. Somit der Schlaf Komfort gering.

Super Party Hostel, mit einer Top Lage Einzig die Steckdosenleiste am Bett war etwas unglücklich und der Stecker ist immer rausgerutscht

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this hostel. The staff was friendly, the rooms / toilet / shower were clean, there was a vibrant and social atmosphere and really nice events organized by the hostel. The location is super central and I could not recommend this place more. Loved it, thank you for having me 🩵

The naughty squirrel backpackers hostel was a fabulous experience! The staff were so funny and kind with constant activities and entertainment! Darts, Martin, Lidia, Charlie, and Artur were the absolute highlight of this hostel staff, they welcome you with hospitality and kindness all around, especially during the pub crawl! I will definitely be recommending this hostel for anyone going to Riga!
