I wanted something simple and centrally located, without overdoing it, and that was my decision. But let's be clear: it's a hostel, not a hotel, so there are shared bathrooms on the floor (one with a toilet only, the other with a shower and washing machine). The building itself is not very recent, although it has been renovated. The guests are noisy and behave worse than at home. Given this, I was happy with the place because I only used it for its intended purpose: a minimum of breakfast, a shower, and toilet use. Otherwise, Riga is easy to explore, and I saw everything in a day or two. The building is easy to find, with combination locks (main door and all floors) also printed on the key. The stairs are steep, the room is clean, comfortable, and tidy, and the streets are quiet. Breakfast is served with the usual kettle or coffee maker. The fridge stocks juice, milk, etc. (either left by guests or replenished by staff). For food, there's toast and Nutella (if there's any, I found it). For me it was very convenient not to have to deal with different timetables because I was freer and because I had the bus early in the morning so ok.
