I really liked the cleanliness and the fact that the hostel is small, with just 6 rooms. There are double doors, so there is little noise. I especially heard very little because there was nobody in the next room. I stayed in a single (5th room), modest but everything I needed. Also double windows, so not much noise from the street. It is important to note that there is no staff, and you enter with codes.

It was perfect for me as a solo traveller. Very crean, tidy, great location, friendly staff, equipped kitched, access to breakfast 24/7. It was quiet in the hostel, but considering it's in the center sometimes you would hear noise from outside in the evening, but it rather was a part of atmosphere of the city. I can say I loved everything about this place.

The property was spacious and very clean, the hosts at the property went above and beyond for us after our original hostel cancelled our booking when our flight was delayed which meant we wasn’t able to check in until after midnight, we did inform them of this but they cancelled the booking anyway. We was in a foreign country and no where to stay, we managed to book the following night at happy hostel but due to it being after midnight we couldn’t book online for that night and we just took the chance and went to them to ask if we could stay that night as well and the host was more than helpful and they only charged us the going rate and not extra for the last minute booking. The host was really friendly and made us feel so welcome.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Great location in the centre of Riga and close to bus and train stations. Next to that the breakfast is great and the hostel has a good balance of social activities without becoming disturbing for travellers. Great value for money and a must try when going to Riga.

    Perfect hostel with all the ingredients that a backpacker looks for, even in the small details ! Amazing vibe, with nice staff, different activities proposed, great location, delicious breakfast, free towel, clean bathrooms, nice rooms, etc. They give you a map with suggestions to visit. You can let your bag after the check out if needed. Free coffee all day <3

    Great location in Riga old town. Friendly staff, very clean, and the curtains on the bunk beds offer some privacy. Each bed has a single power outlet and a light. Tea and coffee is available at all times in the kitchen, and there are common areas with board games for chilling. A nice hostel with good value for money 🙂

    Very social hostel with kind staff and equally kind other backpackers. The breakfast was great, and the hostel-organised activities such as the pubcrawl were fun too. Very nice place to meet new people with good facilities.
