Good stay

Ideal location, the bed was comfy and liked that they were enclosed with a curtain for added privacy. Noisiness during the night was a big problem and there were no staff around to stop this, I didn’t see a staff member at all for my entire stay. Toilets were okay not the cleanest but better than some hostels I’ve stayed at. Did not use the shower as it was an open space with 2 showers in that anybody could walk into. The stairs are an absolute killer if you’re unfit, I was on the top floor and stayed out all day to avoid having to walk back up and down them! All in all I would stay here again due to its perfect location but would definitely start working out before hand!

Great stat on a budget

I've stayed 4 days. All good and I would stay again. The only things that I didn't liked was: 1) Broken lock on a common kitchen area, unable to reach it at night. Hope they will fix it. 2) The upper beds making a sound on every move. It was quite annoying. Those are the only things that need improvement. This is the only capsule hotel in Riga. And I think that having a capsule is 100 time better than not having it. The view out of the windows on 5th floor is goegeours.

Ottima posizione (a 100m dal Duomo e 400m dalla fermata dell' autobus per l' aeroporto). C'è la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli nella sala comune gratuitamente (sarebbe preferibile ci fosse una stanza chiusa a chiave)
