The only good thing is that there was a macdonalds at the entrance of the building!
The location is really great, but this was the only plus of this property. The hot water did not exist practically, wifi did not work at all I would say.
First of all, the location of the hostel is amazing. Everything is very close and easy to reach. There's McDonalds on the first floor of the building, you don't even have to go outside. The wifi is not the fastest, but worked pretty well. The connection in the room wasn't the greatest, but there was one. I booked a room for 2 people, so there were only two beds. No other furniture, no mirror, just a window and a coat hanger. The toilet and shower were just down the corridor, they were clean and comfortable to use. The receptionists are very friendly and helpful, despite being a bit older. We were able to safely leave our bags at the reception for a full day after checking out. The booking said that breakfast are included, but there were none available at the time of our stay. Other than that, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this place. You get what you pay for, and I was completely satisfied with what I got.
Location is good, and the Macdonald is just below the hostel, it's practical.
Good location, quick check-in, nice staff. Closed to train/bus stations, good to stay over the night to carry on travel in the morning.
The hostel is in the center of city. It's a big building above McDonald's. There are many floors and the Baltic hostel is on the third floor. There is a nonstop reception, that's good. They have a key from the main door, your room and you have to pay a deposit 10 euros for the keys. There is also a little kitchen with microwave and kettle and some bowls (there aren't any forks and knives!). 2 toilets and 1 shower ! There were a cleanliness. We stayed there 3 nights. We were thinking there will be a dirty but there is not. Some people are on the different floor (outside of this place) and maybe dirty is there! Btw there is a 50 euros penalty for the taking of photos! They probably know why..

One of the most picturesque neighbourhoods in Rīga!
Thin walls so you here everything and you cany sleep. It wasnt so clean. That means everything else besides staff.
Staff mamber, oled man was very helpful..
warned in the beginning not to take pictures!
Hard to find and difficult to get in at the beginning. Basic English for the staff! Dirty bathroom and room, smelly! Drunk people inside the hostel! Room was terrible and dirty, that much that I didn’t want to lay on it!
Everithing was horrible, the bathroom smells really bad, the shower was not that clean and was just one and two toilets for everyone, its a hostel should have more. The staff really rude and there is NO breakfast included, there is free parking but to far away from the hostel. They made you sing a paper so you cant take pictures of the hostel, that only means they know how bad it is and they do not want people to show it.
Cleanliness (dirty toilet and bathroom, broken inventar), comfort of bed and pillow, planning of the room (walls are too thin - noisy, upper of the door was plexiglass window and in the hall was next to ours room (plexiglass window) automaticly turned on lighting, that means, a lot of people is moving in the hall at nighs, so you hear and the light is light in your room all the time disterbing your sleeping. In the rooms is now window or ventilation, no fresh air at all. Appartment is located on the 4 floor and there is no lift. No promised breakfast, no internet.
Location, staff, 24h check out.
Take care on wifi please. Try to keep more cleanness and hot water.
No signs outside property, nobody let in as buzzer didnt work, actual appartment was in different location, room wasnt what i pay for, brackfast wasnt included, as it was advertised.
Locationus only what was good about this hostel.
A disaster. The receptionist is horribly unfriendly. No breakfast in included. No equipment in the kitchen. Only two toilets and one bathroom for the whole hostel, and they are in terrible condition. No towels, soap, ... The rooms are very tiny and poorly equipped. Not even a table. Poor internet connection. The pillows, bed sheets are too small and very dirty. The smell in the hostel is bad. Do not go there.
It states that breakfast is included however there's no breakfast at all. The room is very dirty. Linens haven't been changed there was not curtain in my room. Bathroom was exceptionally dirty.
Location is good. That's all !
It's not clean enough, beds are uncomfortable and not repaired, noisy place with thin walls, a lot of smoking people inside the hostel. Breakfast is unavailable, bathroom is wet, ruined, with puddles on the floor. Some marginals lives here even!
I booked a double bed or twin bed, I got two bunk beds in a 8m2 room. There was nothing in the room besides the bunk beds and an old chair. No closet, no table, nothing. Many of the informarion provided on their booking.com page is wrong. There is no breakfast, no room service, no man/woman separated toilets or showers. The wifi didnt work so well either. I had to go to the reception to turn on the light in my room. The window didnt close properly and it was really loud outside, besides that, the room I got is next to the reception and two of the walls didnt go all the way up to the ceiling, so I could hear everything that was going on in the reception or in the room next door. The reception woman was almost the whole day warching some videos outloud, so I couldnt even take a nap. At night, the man in the reception started discussing pretty loud, there was no way for me to fall asleep. As a whole, the place was not so clean and everywhere there was a weird smell. There was a chewing gum stuck on one of the bunk beds. The kitchen had almost nothing and you had to wash the dishes in the toilet. The personnel was not that friendly and could barely speak/understand English. Not a nice atmosphere there, I didnt feel welcome at all. Also, they ask you for 10€ deposit for the key, no matter if you leave the property between 0-6 or not. No soap or towels in the toilet, if you are lucky, you will find toilet paper. They dont have maps of the city either, so make sure you take one from the airport. Or book another place instead, it would be the best you can do!
Hostel administrator speaks English poorly, wasn't friendly. They lied about free parking, there is no such thing. Photos are very misleading and photoshopped, not like reality. Almost all beds are broken, no trash bin. Shower and toilet were very dirty, we didn't use them. If you are young family with children you must avoid this places because it wasn't safe even for adults because of other residents who were drunk and agressive. Very disappointing place.
