Good place for a bargain price
We placed order few hours before we arrived to Latvia, as other place sudenly canceled our reservation. We visited this hostel and discovered it's match it's name - Good and Cheap. Kind service, clean rooms, very queit place, at City center, near by bus/train stations and most popular places. We canceld our order just 20min after arrival, just beccause out friends invited us to stay by them.

Basic. Good for one night.
Super basic, run down big apartment with rooms sharing bathroom. Water wasn't hot that day. No elevator. Wifi signal best in common area. Free tea, coffee. Friendly staff. Good if u need a budget room instead of a hostel dorm. Very close to train/ bus station.

Misleading
The street entrance is thru that hole and into another hole off the right side. Reminded me of escaping in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang thru the dungeons. The "lobby " is disgusting. But often is in this part of the world. The graffiti and flies hovering on the stairs all added to the dirt. 88 steps to the room. This was no hotel. It was adequate but not worth 24 euros. Maybe 14 . Had better and paid less in Budapest. The only good thing was the man. He was a genuinely nice person obviously corrupted by greed.
Filthy door.

Hostel not a hotel
The hotel stuff was friendly,room was big,but no built in fan or iron, which you can get on request tho. Its more like a empty flat than a hotel room. Perfectly located in city centre. Close to everything. If you are on a budget go for it;but do not expect hotel. It an empty room with beds

Budget hotel good location& less comfortable
This hotel can be only booked when you need an economical room other than hostel.becuase you will have your own room.This is good and economical. If you have heavy luggage,it is tiring job to climbe the stairs for 3-4 floors. What is good and positive for this hotel is the location! It is really in the city center and good location. If you are a group/students by making budget/economical accom. this place will be suitable for you.Do not expect lots of thing.

Hidden
There is no sign outside the building indicating that the apartments are located there. At night the entrance is in an unlighted archway. If you don't contact the manager by phone you cannot get in. The apartments are on the 4th and 5th floors up steep stairs. Wi-Fi was weak. Room was clean with the bare necessities with shared bath. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Review
When l arrived there was no elevator; l just had huge suitcase and l had to carry it to the 4th floor. In the internet it was said that it is possible to pay with card there- in reality you cant! They said that it is broken but it seemed that it hasn´t been working for a long time ! Also, the other people who were staying there were smoking behind the main door- it is on the 4th floor but smoking inside isn´t allowed. It is really bad when others aren´t smoking and then it smells bad. Also the parts left from smoke where everywhere on the stairs.

Very nice place between old town and newer sights
The location, room (apartment) and staff were all very nice. Close to main railway and bus station and just 2-3 min walk from old town and food market. The rooms (2+corridor and bathroom) had a lot of space and were very clean. No decorations - but I really don't understand who needs them anyways (go to design hotels, if looking for that :) The staff was very helpful and VERY friendly/nice indeed - extra bonus for them! Only minus is the stairway to the hotel, which might be a bit alarming, but says nothing about the hotel itself. With this prize I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Very basic
It is really basic. The overall impression of basicness starts when you go up the staircase to the rooms, which is old and dirty. There are no common room only a fridge and a sofa in the corridor, where yo can look into the wall. Entering the room the positive surprise was that it was fairly clean (and the bathroom almost the same). There are no signs of cosyness. All white walls. Two of three beds was ok, the last one nearly breaking down. On the positive side it was in the centre of town and the owner was easy to get in touch with on the phone. If you only need a room to sleep and are out in town all day it can be OK, but you can get nicer places for the same money, I guess.

Otelin konumu çok iyi. Riga’yı gezmek için kalabileceğiniz en ucuz ve en iyi konum. Fakat kış aylarında konaklayacak olanlar için önermiyorum çünkü ısıtma sistemi az diyemem çünkü yok. Kalorifer mevcut fakat geceleri kapatıyorlar. Gündüz ise dışarıda gezerken otele dönüp ısınmayı düşünmeyin bile, çünkü daha çok üşüyorsunuz. Ayrıca tuvalet inanılmaz derecede pis. Duş alınacak gibi de değil.

Ihan ok
Hyvällä sijainnilla. Voisi olla siistimpi, sängyissä revenneet lakanat ja sisäpihalla työmiehet pitivät mekkalaa vielä yölläkin, joten ikkunaa ei voinut pitää auki ja sen vuoksi huoneessa oli erittäin tukala olla. Yövyimme vain yhden yön, joten yhteisiä tiloja ei tullut käytettyä.

Busca otra opción
El administrador ha ocultado que compartíamos la zona con otro huesped (sin un cerrojo que nos separara). Con este engaño, ha expuesto nuestros objetos personales a robos y ha expuesto la intimidad de mi pareja y la mía a vulneraciones. El esquivo huesped hizo esfuerzos en no delatar su presencia y lo descrubrimos a altas horas de la noche cuando usaba nuestro baño.

Хорошо! Соотношение цена-качество изумительное.
Отель полностью отвечает цене!!! На это надо обратить внимание! Перед заездом обязательно позвонить и предупредить о времени заезда, тогда Вас встретят. Район для знакомства с Ригой идеальный!!! Приятный бонус - 20% скидка в кафе Мария для жильцов отеля. Ожидать от отеля 4-х звезд не стоит. Туалет и душ общий! Но этот отель строго на свои деньги! Потому и wi-fi не очень скоростной, и полотенце одно.

Good starting point&very helpful&friendly staff
The hotel is near to the central bus station and the railway station. It is a good starting point for exploring the old town, the market halls and the "Moscow area". Opposite the hotel bus 24 takes one within 1h to the Vesaci beach at the coast. The rooms are in the 4th floor of an old building. The check-in worked easily via WA communication. The staff is present in the hotel between ca. 8 am and 10 pm giving a safe feeling re. the luggage in the room. The staff was extremely helpfull for assisting the visit and gave valuable hints re. good places and the suitable bus connections. This compensates imho some defects as e.g. only small curtains, slight smell in the bathroom, that it is hardly possible to open the windows in the night (traffic noise if open) and a little bit high price considering these shortcomings. Anyway: In case I visit Riga again I like to stay in "cheap and good (enough) appartments" again with its so helpful staff :-)

Soha többet vissza!
Ez volt az a "szállás", ami után 100x is meggondolja az ember, hogy mennyit szánjon az alvásra. Kezdjük ott, hogy a hotel egy kapualjban lévő ajtó, ahol semmi felirat, a környéken kéregető hajléktalan tudott felvilágosítást adni a hotel elhelyezkedéséről. Miután a csöves felvilágosított, kénytelenek voltunk felhívni a hotelt, ahol tájékoztattak, hogy várjunk tovább a csöves társaságában és 10 perc múlva mennek. Majd jött Jarek, a "szállodába" belépve egy az 1800-as évek hangulatára és illataira-az azóta elmaradt 100-200 évi felújítást nélkülöző-emlékeztető lépcsőházba jutottunk, ahol a második szinttől már egy nyomtatott papír van kihelyezve, ami mindenki számára egyértelművé teszi, hogy itt bizony szálláshely-szolgáltatás vehető igénybe.Sajnos kénytelenek is voltunk igénybe venni, de mentségünkre szóljon, hogy nem akartuk bukni egy éjszaka árát az előfoglalás miatt. A szoba igénytelen, hideg. A radiátoron a hőmérséklet beállítása a személyzet feladatköréhez tartozhat. Az ágynemű mosási idejét a "bizonytalan" kategóriába sorolnám. A fürdőről legyen elég annyi, hogy 2 napig a "nemfürdés" áldozatai voltunk inkább a további egészségügyi kockázatok elkerülése érdekében... A "tusfürdő" egy vízzel alaposan felhígított folyékony szappanban merült ki. A járólap a fürdőben ízlés szerint igazítható, valószínűleg csemperagasztó hiány léphetett fel az építés idején. Sorolnám még, de aki eddig elolvasta soraimat, annak ennyi is elég...

Trevlig resa men uruselt boende
Rum, toalett/dusch var dåligt städat. Toalettpapper tog slut o fylldes inte på. Värst av allt så var det riktigt kallt på rummet och ingen ventilation så man fick sova med öppet fönster vilket gjorde rummet ännu kallare. Våningens ytterdörr gick endast att öppna inifrån med nyckel vilket är en grymt stor säkerhetsrisk vid eventuell brand. Kommer inte bo där nästa gång och avråder andra att göra det samma
