The location is great. The staff is also good. There are no cockroaches. There is a pipeline. Very small rooms. 1 shower with two cabins on the 1st floor (80 people), more often on the 2nd. The kitchen is spacious, two electric stoves. In the evenings, Uzbeks cook dinner in huge pots for the whole room.

I read the negative reviews, and realized that these reviews are written by people who are far from reality. The watches are needed to keep an eye on you, so that no one leaves the stove on and nothing catches fire. The hostel is old, such communications as plumbing and electrics cannot be completely restored and made modern as in new buildings, so hot water often disappears, banal repairs of rotten pipelines. To complete all the work, you will need to close the hostel for at least a year. That's probably when students form when they have to pay $ 300 for an apartment instead of 30 rubles for accommodation. DD is normal, the janitors are also normal. Of course, they can flare up, but so can all people. We were lucky not to meet cockroaches. The location of the hostel is also good, close to the metro, close to tram tracks, a dining room, lots of shawarma bars, a recreation center, near a 24-hour Riga, a 15-minute walk to the university. In general, the hostel is decent
