Nice location (close to the train and bus stations, supermarket, 10-min walk to the Old town). We had a triple room, really spacious and clean. There's unlimited supply of tea, coffee and milk in the communal kitchen (reasonably clean as well), 2 communal spaces with a TV and a computer. The bathrooms are more than acceptable. Staff helpful and friendly. The walls are mega-thin, you hear all that is going on in the hall and in the adjoining rooms. There were some weird roadworks right outside which started at about 9 p.m. and went on till midnight. The lack of airconditioning will be a serious problem in the summer as the rooms soon becomes stiffling even at 15C with windows open.

Free Internet The towel was all in blue spots and with huge holes. The sheets were as thick as the toilet paper. Not enough room for breakfast (only 4 chairs around the table).

We lived in Central Hostel only 2 days, and I can say, that it is very good place for short trip. It is cheap, clean, the staff was very friendly and helped us in any situation. We arrived too early for check-in, but we could spend this time in common rooms in the hostel. And the staff allowed to leave our laggage in the hostel after check-out time. The bed in our room wasn't good enought - mattress was sagged, so we slept in the middle of the bed))

Everything. This is truly one of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Central location, great showers, nice staff, easy to get too. As usual, one other guest. The young Latvian man who had no consideration of other guests at all. Snoring, loud (bad) music, phone going off all the time, waking everyone up at 0530, and just a rude ___.

Was the cheapest place I could find in Riga with free parking. It was fine for a one night stay & close to a couple of different food places. I would stay again under same circumstances Very small room, not very "central" and the breakfast was really awkward in a small room

A great option not only for the night. Here you can stay on for several days. The city center. Nice place, a common room with a TV and a computer room, kitchen, toilets and a few showers. And it is very cheap.
